Anyone interested in learning firsthand about what the Cuban Revolution
is, and has accomplished, has an excellent opportunity to do so this
spring. The
National Network on Cuba, a coalition of groups in solidarity with the
Cuban people, is organizing the U.S. delegation to participate in the
upcoming 15th
International May Day Brigade of Voluntary Work and Solidarity With
Cuba, hosted by the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples.
Those on the April 26-May 10 brigade will have a rare opportunity to
meet and work with Cuban working people and to discuss the impact of
their revolution.
Their victory over a U.S.-backed dictatorship in 1959 led to the opening
of the socialist revolution in the Americas.
It is also a chance to talk about the class struggle and activities of
supporters of the Cuban Revolution in the U.S. and elsewhere. Last year
320 people
from 21 countries, including 65 from the U.S., took part.
A central highlight of the brigade is joining a million Cuban working
people for the May Day march in Havana celebrating their revolution on
the international
workers day.
Brigade members will be based at the Julio Antonio Mella camp 25 miles
outside Havana. They will do voluntary work side by side with Cuban
farmers in the
fields, meet leaders of the Cuban people’s mass organizations and talk
to working people.
This year the brigade will spend several days in Pinar del Rio province
in western Cuba, taking part in panels on the Cuban economy, the legacy
of Che
Guevara and the truth about human rights in Cuba. There will be
opportunities to visit factories, farm cooperatives, universities,
health care centers,
museums and cultural venues to learn more about the revolution.
Despite new U.S. government restrictions, this trip is organized in
accordance with U.S. guidelines. Travel arrangements from the U.S. are
being handled
by Marazul Tours travel agency.
Total cost, not including airfare to Cuba, is $725. Applications are due
by March 27. For more information visit:
