[Presidencia Colombia 🇨🇴 @infopresidencia]

Más de 60 organizaciones de América Latina, Europa, África, Oceanía y Medio Oriente enviaron una carta al Presidente @petrogustavo respaldando su postura frente a la crisis en Palestina y destacando su liderazgo en la defensa de los derechos humanos y la soberanía colombiana.

Las organizaciones apoyan la propuesta de Colombia ante la ONU para activar la resolución “Unión Pro Paz” y crear una fuerza de protección internacional, y llaman a otros gobiernos a respaldarla.

La misiva reúne colectivos de países como Argentina, Brasil, Australia, España, Francia, Estados Unidos, México, Palestina y Países Bajos, entre otros.

70 years ago today, the United States backed a coup against the democratically elected government of Jacobo Árbenz at the behest of the United Fruit Company (Chiquita).

The Americas Policy Forum will continue to develop the coalition to strengthen anti-imperialist networks and to engage in cross-border dialogue to promote peace and the fulfillment of the basic common needs of all people!

[CODEPINK @codepink]

The Monroe Doctrine is obsolete in the de facto multipolar world.

➡️ The US should address the root causes of forced migration by ending sanctions, stopping the flow of US guns, ending predatory extractivism of natural resources and respecting the intrinsic value of nature.

[CODEPINK @codepink]

🕊️ In April, members from 60 endorsing organizations gathered in Washington DC to propose a new U.S. foreign policy for Latin America & the Carribean based on respect for the sovereign equality of nations.

We need all hands on deck to tell Congress to vote NO on the FORCE Act — this bill could be a disaster for Cuba & would make Trump's Cuba policy nearly permanent.

Join us in DC and across the country as we fight to get Cuba #OffTheList!

The U.S.-backed regime of Boluarte is tightening its grip on the rights of the Peruvian people. The Supreme Court has ruled protesting a crime. Only hunger strikes & labor strikes will be considered legitimate forms of demonstration

Solidarity with our Peruvian friends🇵🇪

[CODEPINK @codepink]

URGENT

A new bill would codify Cuba's status as a "sponsor of terror" into law.

As Cuba struggles to import crucial goods due to the US blockade, this bill could make those challenges virtually permanent.

Tell your members of Congress to vote NO.

Haiti has never been poor; Haiti has been exploited for centuries now. What can be done, can be undone. #Reparations #Haiti 🇭🇹

[Belly of the Beast @bellybeastcuba]

21 House Democrats urged @POTUS last week to lift Trump-era sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela contributing to record levels of migration:

“Ending these indiscriminate economic sanctions is an indispensable part of addressing the migrant crisis.”

La sanciones buscan someter gobiernos enemigos o derrocarlos. Sin embargo,el informe de @frrodriguezc demuestra q es la población la q sufre x las sanciones,convirtiéndolas en mecanismos crueles e inefectivos. EEUU tiene una política de sanciones contra 🇻🇪 Adivinen los resultados

Didn't catch CISPES Program Director Yessenia Portillo on the recent @AmericasPolicyF panel on the Root Causes of Immigration? No problem! Check out the video of this important conversation here 👇 https://t.co/DGJ05kgMmX

[Black Alliance for Peace @Blacks4Peace]

One of our members was dragged out for denouncing the @TheWilsonCenter for hosting the unelected “interim president,” @jguaido. BAP continues to support the Venezuelan people’s right to defend their national sovereignty against U.S. subversion. Make our Americas a #ZoneOfPeace!

[Francisco Rodríguez @frrodriguezc]

Quienes abogan por las sanciones muchas veces argumentan que no afectan a los más pobres. La evidencia dice lo contrario. Treinta estudios discutidos en este artículo que publiqúe hoy con @ceprdc hallan efectos negativos sobre los grupos más vulnerables.

For 2 years, the “anti-Blackness” claim has allowed "human rights" narratives to form around revolutionary states in the crosshairs of the U.S. empire. This video comes on the heels of one of the largest U.S. youth delegations to visit #Cuba (@PeoplesForumNYC). Here's a thread 🧵
