HOW YOU CAN HELP CUBA
Comrades and friends, Sisters and Brothers:
We write you, knowing that you support the Cuban Revolution, and we also assume that you will want to do something where you are in Canada to support that ongoing Revolution, especially now that Cuba faces US imperialism’s greatest threat in decades.
Here’s how you can do that while you also imagine packing your bags for your next trip to the island nation.
As is explained more fully in the Project attachment (Containers 4 Cuba), three retired UNIFOR (CAW Canada); Ben Lefebvre [CAW 599], Colin Argyle [CAW 303 and 222] and Ken Luckhardt
[CAW National Representative, Education and International departments] are members of the Calixto Garcia Solidarity Brigade, which annually takes Canadians to Cuba to see and study the
successes of the Revolution and to better understand the current issues which need domestic and international attention.
It was at the end of the Brigade in 2021 that the three of us created the Containers 4 Cuba Project, which enables Canadians to easily and directly help meet the urgent needs of Cubans. This Project sends much-needed hospital supplies and medical equipment to Cuba.
The shipping containers are loaded at the Niagara Warehouse of Hope (a charitable organization) and shipped by rail to Halifax, onward to Havana, Cuba, ultimately arriving in the Eastern Provinces to be distributed throughout the Island where there is the greatest need.
The last fully Canadian union-funded container arrived in Cuba in the fall of 2025. The value of the contents was over $700,000. The cost to ship the container was less than $10,000. All of the medical equipment and supplies were donated by Canadian health care institutions.
To date, the Project has received financial support from four Canadian Unions: the National offices of UNIFOR, CUPE, Steelworkers, and PSAC, with additional unions expressing interest in the Project, and we are optimistic that these other unions will soon provide financial support.
We would like to state that we are not content to rely only on our ties with Canadian unions to support this Project.
We would like to encourage you to support the Project with us. You can do so by making a tax-deductible contribution of $20; however, we know you would probably like to donate more.
If you would like to help the people of Cuba, you can do so by sending an e-transfer to:
[email protected]
or by cheque to:
The Niagara Warehouse of Hope 46, Broadway Ave. St.
C/O Containers 4 Cuba.
Catharine's ON L2M 1M4
Please let us know you have made a donation and the amount so we can track this effort.
On behalf of the Cuban people, we thank you for your solidarity with the Cuban Revolution.
With warmest regards, I remain yours in solidarity,
Colin Argyle
