More US Cities Join Actions Against US Govt' Blockade of Cuba
Published 27 September 2021
On Monday, the Global No Embargo Cuba Movement (NEMO) noted that more cities are joining the fight against the unilateral blockade imposed by the United States on the Caribbean island.
"For the first time, New Britain, in the Northeastern state of Connecticut, participated in the caravans against the cruel blockade against Cuba," Jose Oro, one of the group's leaders, told Prensa Latina when referring to the success of the event that took place on September 26.
The decision to start doing this kind of action in this city "is due to the fact that there is a considerable progressive student mass, many of them of Latin American origin," he stressed. Oro added that in a general sense, the demographic features of that territory allow carrying out the solidarity action.
At least 18 vehicles traveled through downtown New Britain carrying flags and posters. In addition, several speeches were targeted at the students, especially that of Henry Leowendorf, leader of the Cuba solidarity group in the region.
