Message from Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos (ICAP)
Welcome to the May Day Brigade
We call on friends to join us in transcendental days of friendship and solidarity. They will have the opportunity to interact with the people, carry out agricultural work, visit places of historical, economic, cultural and social interest, which will provide them with vast experience on the substantive socioeconomic transformations that the country is experiencing. The celebration, within the framework of the Brigade, of the 22nd Congress of the Central de Trabajadores de Cuba (CTC) will allow us to learn about the strengthening of the trade union movements as the vanguard of the people, despite the constant intensification of the blockade.
CUBA is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis.

These sanctions continued under the Biden administration, and have had a devastating impact that has led to a massive wave of migration.

By joining us, you’ll gain a firsthand understanding of how Cuba’s evolving economy and social structures are adapting under these pressures, all while participating in a meaningful exchange rooted in friendship and respect.
