Directed by Abby Martin of the Empire Files & Matthew Belen of BreakThrough News — behind Gaza Fights For Freedom and The Encampments respectively — this is an essential film for anyone who wants to understand the critical situation in Cuba today.
Cuba has been demonized by the U.S. media and political establishment for decades. As the Trump administration accelerates its aggression with a total fuel blockade and threatens to invade Cuba on top of six decades of cruel U.S. sanctions and blockade, this film presents a view into Cuba’s psyche that people in the U.S. have long been deprived of.
✨The film viewing will be followed by a brief discussion.

✊🏿 ICE OUT OUR CITY NOW!
Today, in Albany Park, ICE agents crashed their car into a bystanders vehicle to corner and brutalize a man they were chasing. Join us to demand that ICE get out of our communities and be dismantled as an institution!
🗓️ Wednesday, June 3
⏰ 7:00 P.M.
📍 Horner Park (Corner of Montrose & California)
ICE agents continue to terrorize our neighborhoods and agent activity has been picking up around Chicago the past few weeks. Just months ago the people of Minnesota dealt the Trump administration a blow by shutting their city down. We call on the people of Chicago to stand up and show out against ICE terror. The people united can defeat the Trump administration!
📢 ABOLISH ICE! FUND THE PEOPLES NEEDS, NOT MASS DEPORTATIONS!!

The U.S. government is preventing fuel from entering the country, which is causing infant mortality to skyrocket, and child cancer survival rates to plummet. The Cuban people should not be punished for standing up for their right to self-determination, and collective punishment is a crime against humanity. Stand with Cuba!
