Cuba is in the grip of a punishing economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States for over 60 years.
We, La Vía Campesina - a global movement spanning over 80 countries - and bringing together peasants, fishers, land workers and food producers who feed the world, hold this unilateral sanction as the direct cause of the Cuban food and energy crisis. It has affected electricity generation, transport, healthcare and food distribution.
Now, Washington is tightening the screws once again, with the aim of destroying Cuba’s revolutionary project, subjugating its people through hunger, medicine shortages and the disruption of daily life.
At La Vía Campesina, we refuse to look the other way whilst the Cuban people suffer collective punishment.
Cuba has given the world far more than it has received: doctors in the most remote corners of the globe, life-saving vaccines, literacy brigades that taught millions of people to read, inspiration and support for cooperative organization, the widespread adoption of agroecology and, in all of this, growing solidarity and humanist internationalism to build a fairer and more sustainable world.
Now, as the U.S attempts to collectively punish an entire nation for refusing to bow down, it is up to us to repay that solidarity with strength and determination.
As José Martí so aptly put it: Love is repaid with love.
Your donations go directly to the Small Farmers National Association (ANAP), Cuba’s national peasant organization and a member of La Vía Campesina.
The ANAP is already in the process of building food and energy sovereignty through agroecology. Your contributions will further help ANAP peasant families to install irrigation and renewable energy systems, expand agroecological production, diversify local seed systems and strengthen small-scale cooperative processing to consolidate the production of healthy and nutritious food in a sustainable manner and ensure the people’s food supply.
The funds will also be used to purchase medicines, essential supplies and educational materials, prioritizing women, children and older people in vulnerable areas.
The blockade is not just a problem for Cuba.
It is a warning to all countries attempting to escape neoliberal exploitation and the capitalist system in order to pursue a dignified and sovereign project for the benefit of their peoples. If the empire intends to crush Cuba through slow starvation, it will do so at the expense of the collectives and individuals who believe that another world is possible.
This is a call to break the blockade through material aid, political pressure and international solidarity.
Together we can show that the power of the people continues to triumph over injustice, corporate and imperialist actions.
La Via Campesina is the world's largest network of peasants and small-scale food producers organizations. Over 180 farmers unions in over 80 countries - reprsenting at least 200 million small-scale food producers - make up La Via Campesina. Built on a solid sense of unity and solidarity, it defends peasant agriculture for food sovereignty.
La Via Campesina is a global movement built on the power of transnational solidarity between the peoples who work the land, and wade the waters to feed the world. As a movement, we firmly believe that every community and country in this world has the right to define their own food systems, independent and autonomous from any form of coercion or corporate influence.
Economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality.
The food and agriculture sector offers key solutions for development, and is central for hunger and poverty eradication.
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development.
Clean, accessible water for all is an essential part of the world we want to live in.
Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity.
To reduce inequalities, policies should be universal in principle, paying attention to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalized populations.
Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss
Access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable institutions at all levels.
