Caravans for Cuba: BALTIMORE 🇨🇺 Our northeast caravan stopped in Baltimore to pick up ~40 more boxes of aid collected, organized by 2026 May Day Brigadista with the support of the local community. They had a drop off location and an event for the community to donate and sort medical donations, energy resources, and school supplies (second to last slide). Thank you, Baltimore, for showing out! Off to our next stop—stay tuned! 🚛 TUMBA EL BLOQUEO! VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN! VIVA CUBA! 🇨🇺✊🏾🇨🇺✊🏾🇨🇺✊🏾🇨🇺

April 4th! Join us at Cleveland Park Library for a screening of Mikhail Kalatozov’s 1964 film ‘Soy Cuba’ from 3-5 PM. Made shortly after the Cuban revolution and released right after the Cuban Missile Crisis, ‘Soy Cuba’ never saw a US release due to the embargo on Cuba. It was re-discovered in the 90’s by Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, leading to a restoration campaign. 100% of proceeds will be donated to @nationalnetworkoncuba @maydaybrigade efforts to provide on-ground aid and support for the Cuban masses. The U.S.’s genocidal campaign of economic warfare in Cuba is only growing more intense, with oil and fuel blockades wreaking havoc on Cuba’s population. Through it all, Cuba has maintained its revolutionary spirit, offering world-class education and health care to its people — something the U.S. government couldn’t even dream of. See you all soon!

BALTIMORE ❤️‍🔥 PLEASE SHARE! I’M GOING TO CUBA alongside many people of conscience to help break the imperialist blockade and YOU CAN HELP! with the @nationalnetworkoncuba @maydaybrigade we’ll be delivering urgently needed aid, learning from & exchanging with Cuban organizers, and standing in solidarity with the Cuban people against the genocidal blockade and sanctions they have suffered at the hands of U.S. imperialism for nearly 70 years. JOIN ME in collecting aid in solidarity with the Cuban people as the U.S. strangling of Cuba tightens with oil and fuel blockades and Amerikkkan-manufactured starvation. please bring UNOPENED, UNEXPIRED aid items listed in these slides to @fruit.camp ‘s open Fridays, 12-8pm on 3/27, 4/3 and 4/10. THE EARLIER DATES THE BETTER! caravan is coming thru 4/8. items received after that will go in my suitcases. please LABEL your items so they can be inventoried! school and art supplies and solar-powered electronics are particularly needed. if these drop off dates don’t work for you, DM me and we’ll figure something out. despite this unjust punishment for daring to revolt against the deathly world capitalist order, Cuba has STILL maintained free universal healthcare, extremely high access to education and wellbeing for its people — things the U.S. REFUSES to do! Cuba has done what many of us only dream of, enacting its own sovereignty and self-determination even as colonialism and imperialism lash at its shores with never-ending torments of aggression and oppression. if we believe in a more just world, we must stand with the people building it and leading the way for us all as they face the consequences of standing up to the U.S.-led western imperialist death regime. WE break the blockade! flyer by @panstarri ❤️‍🔥 shoutout @ghostnests for drop off coordination

⁨BALTIMORE: Not your normal Valentines! The Fallon Building is getting turned into a concentration camp & federal workers are caught in the crossfire. REPOST to show your love and solidarity with people detained by ICE by mobilizing workers inside the building to take a stand! CALL these numbers to deliver the Valentines call scripts and JOIN US in picketing the Fallon Concentration Camp!⁩

Repost @justice4donnell COME OUT This February 19th marks four years since Donnell Rochester’s murder by Baltimore City police and four years without justice. On that day, will be holding a rally in Baltimore for Mayor Scott and City Council to fire the killer cops under their Local Control authority and to get Governor Moore to change the jurisdiction of Donnell’s case and demand the prosecution of his murderers by the Attorney General. The Maryland Constitution (Article V Section 3(A)(2)) grants the governor clear authority to do so. DONNELL'S DEATH WAS RULED A HOMICIDE AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS FOUND PROBABLE CAUSE FOR SECOND DEGREE MURDER AND VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. Please come out and cover updates from Donnell's family who is now in contact with the Governor's constituent services, legal counsel, first lady, and Judicial Proceedings chair Senator Will Smith who are all stalling justice for Donnell. Share with pages to help cover and sign the petition (link in @justice4donnell bio).

COME OUT MONDAY TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE FOR DONNELL ROCHESTER AND SUPPORT VICTIMS UNFAIRLY LOST TO VIOLENCE. Our action is focused on Justice for Donnell as well as warning and materially helping our community. All other causes are welcome however this day is focused on this call to action from Donnell's family. Please only bring the requested materials and signs of support for Donnell. We are not a single issue movement, however other signs, newspapers and other flyers must be cleared by Donnell's family beforehand. Follow @justice4donnell
