HANDS OFF CASTRO! NO WAR ON CUBA! 🇨🇺
The Communist Party USA condemns the politically motivated charges brought against Raúl Castro as yet another example of the tyranny and hypocrisy by the United States. Using the facade of “justice” to address the downing of two planes that invaded Cuban airspace in 1996 to harass and intimidate the Cuban people — planes that were warned multiple times to halt and leave — does not fool anyone. This act of a sovereign people defending their airspace is not open to U.S. review. The sole purpose of these charges is to provide an excuse to pursue the decades-old regime change policy against socialist Cuba.
The imperialist strategy of the “Trump Corollary” across the Western Hemisphere seeks to remove from power anyone the U.S. cannot control and take what it wants from any sovereign nation in the region. Attempting to criminalize the Cuban leadership while ignoring the violence and suffering carried out by U.S. imperialism reflects not a commitment to justice, but rather the desperate acts of a system in crisis trying to reclaim its lost global dominance. The same government that lectures the world about human rights has repeatedly engaged in military acts of aggression, CIA-backed coups, crippling trade blockades, and economic sanctions that have devastated and terrorized working people across the hemisphere and indeed the world.
The CPUSA understands that it is the people of Cuba alone who have the right to determine their destiny. We stand in unwavering solidarity with them and the Cuban Revolution. They stand as a beacon of hope for all peoples’ struggles around the world. We join with all progressive forces worldwide to demand Cuban self-determination, the immediate removal of Cuba off the fake U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism list, ending the blockade, and halting the spurious and politically motivated indictment of former President of Cuba, Raúl Castro.
We stand in solidarity with the Cuban people and reject efforts to demonize Cuba’s revolutionary socialist leadership while conveniently excusing the destructive consequences of U.S. imperialist policy. For generations, Cuba has faced economic blockade, isolation, and constant bullying simply for defending its right to sovereignty and building a socialist society where all people have the right to a dignified life.
The CPUSA calls on the progressive, peace, and anti-war movements to participate in regional peace movements, trade unions, and grassroots coalitions against the heightened threats of war against Cuba.
The Cuban Revolution and the Cuban people are under attack by the United States; we must demand: Hands off Castro! No War on Cuba! Take Cuba off the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, and end the U.S. blockade!
Solidarity with @PartidoPCC 🇨🇺✊

Most of the “affordable” housing that’s built in NYC is a few units in mostly market rate projects for people who make btw $75-$200k.
The only place someone who makes $50k in NYC can live is NYCHA, and that’s started to be bulldozed bc developers want the land.
She’s right.
JUSTICE FOR ERIC DUPREY!
The Bronx came out in support of Duprey's family this Tuesday as the trial against Eric Duran closes. We now wait for the judge's verdict to be read this Friday at 2pm. The colonial garrison of the NYPD must be held to account. JAIL ALL KILLER COPS!
How many more need to die before Congress holds ICE accountable? ICE is murdering citizens because we allowed them to abuse immigrants first.

Statewide Shutdown in Minnesota planned for Jan. 23 to expel ICE
https://t.co/qDZTbuDxH6
The call for the statewide shutdown is broad, linking traditional trade union action with the fight against police and federal repression. Many residents say that the assault in Minneapolis is just another spearhead of a broader conspiracy to impose a fascist dictatorship.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Throughout his life, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke often and with vision about the nature of capitalism and the kind of changes needed to replace it.
“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.”
– Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Speech to SCLC Board, March 30, 1967.
Before he was assassinated, Martin Luther King Jr. had increasingly begun to connect resistance to U.S. imperialism with his fight against racism and economic injustice at home. In his final speech, King said he was willing to give his life for freedom.
Nurses in Ithaca formed a union, Cayuga United-CWA, and now face a relentless union-busting campaign from management and LRI, a hired "union avoidance" firm.
Read about their struggle in the "People's World" article published today.

Pass the Protect America's Workforce Act Now!
Call write or visit your US Senators during the holiday break and demand they immediately restore collective bargaining rights to federal workers by passing the bi-partisan Protect America's Workforce Act (S.2837) already passed by the House. Trump's illegal removal of collective bargaining rights from 75 percent of federal workers is an assault on the large number of women and workers of color in the federal workforce and on all workers. If federal workers, who provide vital public services, can be stripped of their democratic union rights, all workers and their communities are endangered. Pass S.2837 now,
Call 202-225-3121 today and ask for your US Senators. Click here to send them a letter: https://t.co/FubnYhBF3N
