STATEMENT FROM CUBA SI NY/NJ COALITION
“A Great Crime is Being Committed Before the Eyes of the World!” The impact of Washington’s economic and political war on Cuba reached a tipping point in October 2024 with the collapse of Cuba’s electric grid at its central Antonio Guiteras power station. The Donald Trump administration (2017-2021), with bipartisan support, significantly deepened US hostility and sanctions, reversing the shift towards US-Cuba normalization from Barack Obama’s second term. The Joseph Biden White House has maintained Trump’s anti-Cuba policies, even as the COVID-19 pandemic devastated Cuba’s tourism industry. US economic pressure and sanctions are the decisive factor in preventing Cuba from accessing the capital to modernize its energy system and overall infrastructure. DOWNLOAD STATEMENT
The most attractive and distinctive thing about the Havana Biennial is its ability to take the city as a setting. However, the visual proposal in traditional spaces such as art galleries, studios, or museums is wide and varied. Artists are invited to create together in the communities, as a profitable exchange experience and its extension to other cities in the country is planned.
The Havana Biennial, founded in 1984, is a contemporary art event organized by the Wifredo Lam Center whose fundamental purpose is to contribute to the better knowledge and dissemination of the visual arts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Caribbean and their diásporas. It is considered “the first biennial of Latin American art.”
GET CUBA OFF THE SSOT LIST NOW!
Cuba has endured 64 years of a U.S. economic blockade.This intensified when President Trump unjustifiably put Cuba on a list of so-called State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT).President Biden has continued that listing. Companies worldwide that want to sell medicines or food to Cuba often can’t because their own bank refuses to accept Cuba’s payment under threat of enormous fines from the U.S.treasury for dealing with “terrorists.”
Tell Biden that he must, with a stroke of his pen, remove Cuba from this arbitrary list.
- Make your opinions known to your Congressional representatives – by phone, email or best of all in person.
- Get a resolution passed and sent to Biden, by your union branch, labor council or city council
The NNOC, along with partner organizations in the Cuban solidarity movement are coordinating a major campaign to get Cuba off the State Sponsors of Terror (SSOT) List and break the U.S. government economic blockade of Cuba. We’re calling, writing, meeting, and rallying to get Cuba off the SSOT List!
The NNOC is home to over 65 organizations standing in solidarity with the Cuban people to demand an end to the criminal U.S. economic blockade against Cuba!
