Online Meeting
Apr 17, 2020, 04:00 PM (Vancouver), 07:00 PM (Eastern)

Ottawa Cuba Connections’ monthly picket at the US Embassy demanding an immediate End to the Illegal US Blockade of Cuba will be replaced by an online meeting. On April 17, 2020, we will pursue our monthly campaign in solidarity with the Cuban people who are heroically facing the difficult situation under the illegal US blockade and are rising to the occasion by providing an example of international solidarity for the whole world by sending medical teams to countries that require assistance to fight the pandemic and defend the people. Let us get together to once again call for an End to the Illegal Blockade of Cuba and demand that the US get out of Guantanamo and abolish all unjust US laws targeting Cuba. Viva Cuba!
