"Throughout our visit, the Cuban people expressed deep gratitude for acts of solidarity from around the world. Unions and other organizations have sent containers of supplies, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, pressured governments to condemn the blockade, gathered thousands of petition signatures and organized mass demonstrations, some of which have drawn tens of thousands of participants.

The labour movement here in Canada must continue to oppose the blockade, militarism and foreign intervention, and push governments toward independent foreign policies grounded in peace and support for international law."

Thanks to the support of our Canadian labour partners and many, many individual collaborators we have a full house for our 2026 Solidarity and Fundraising Dinner. We’ll be enjoying great food from and wonderful music from Angelo Moroni and — and honouring our two Cuban union partners and our dear friend Steve Stewart. This is what looks like. And how we create a more just and equitable world!

Our Cuban union partners invite allies to join the “I Sign for Cuba” campaign to demonstrate their commitment to peace in the Caribbean and respect for Cuba's self-determination and sovereignty.
