U.S. Sanctions on Cuba and the Global South: Cost and Response

Liz Oliva Fernandez, Helen Yaffe, August Nimtz, and Anthony Quezada speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by Chicago Cuba Coalition. Washington’s designating Cuba a “State Sponsor of Terrorism” prevents nearly all Cuba’s international commerce. Meanwhile U.S. sanctions against Venezuela, Nicaragua, and others arguably hurt working people rather than leaders – and are largely responsible for the current immigration crisis. A look inside the fight for fair and normalized relations with the Global South. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6.

Om Podcasten

The Socialism Conference is a four-day conference bringing together thousands of socialists and radical activists from around the country to take part in discussions about social movements, Marxism, abolition, working-class history, and the debates and strategies for organizing today. Every year, the Socialism conference aims to be a place where activists can share lessons from their struggles—from the BDS campaign for Palestine to the fight for gender liberation, from strike organizing and support to the struggle to stop the destruction of the planet, the fight against racism, and more. Socialism 2024 occurred in Chicago over Labor Day weekend, August 30 - September 2. The recordings from the sessions at Socialism 2024 will be released here. Socialism 2025 will take place in Chicago, July 3-6, 2025.
