In the past 4 weeks Cuba has experienced two back to back hurricanes and two earthquakes which have caused massive material damages but a HURRICANE OF VOLUNTEER WORKERS in Cuba and international acts of solidarity are bringing joy to a human's conscience. And we are witness to the steadfastness of the cultured Cuban people who do not hesitate for a second to defend their achievements in healthcare, education, sports and culture.
Therefore it is our duty to contribute financially, even though it is a symbolic gesture of solidarity, to ease the pain of Cuba. Please, if you wish to assist, make your direct financial contributions through the National Bank in Canada to the following accounts in Cuba: Cuneta en el Banco Financiero Internacional(BFI) Account's Name: Emergency Donations Account No.: 0300000005336242 SWIFT code: BFICCUHHXXX Cuneta en el Banco Internacional de Comercio(BICSA) Account's Name: Donations-Cuba Account No.: 0407610081870041 SWIFT code: BIDCCUHHXXX (In both cases the title holder of the accounts is The Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Foreign Investment of Cuba) Please visit this link and read and sign the petition -
https://www.noscommunes.ca/petitions/fr/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5014 We, the undersigned, residents of Quebec and Canada , request the Government of Canada to 1. Ask the representatives of the United States, through the Minister of Foreign Affairs, to lift the blockade of Cuba and to remove the latter from the list of states supporting terrorism; 2. Reaffirm the importance of the human rights of the Cuban people, which must be respected and therefore denounce the blockade against Cuba as one of the main obstacles to the full enjoyment of the human rights of the Cuban people; 3. Act immediately to preserve the sovereignty of Quebec and Canada, by ensuring that Quebec and Canadian companies and other entities, particularly governmental ones, do not participate in the application of United States economic sanctions against Cuba; 4. Ensure that the relations maintained by Quebec and Canada with Cuba remain based on equality and respect for sovereignty, independence and the right to self-determination. Dear Sisters/Brothers;
We would like to invite you to participate for yet another demonstration of solidarity with the heroic people of Palestine who are experiencing a genocide in Gaza which the president of Cuba has called it "a genocide of Dante proportions". (Please, see attached flyer.) On the occasion of 171st anniversary of the birth of Jose Marti, Cuba's National Hero; President of the Federation of University Students of Havana stated in his speech, attended by thousands of students and the whole leadership of the Cuban revolution including Raul Castro-the historical leader of the revolution- that to be a follower of Marti today means to be with the "cause of Palestine". In the aftermath of the International Court of Justice ruling which in a limited way sided with the arguments of South Africa that the genocide in Gaza shall be prevented; the lead imperialist power on the planet along with other past and present colonial states decided to cut/suspend founding to UNRWA, which in the absence of a Palestinian leadership, provides basic life assistance to Palestinians who have been expelled from their homes since the creation of Israel in 1948. The goal is to force these Palestinian refugees to give up their sacred RIGHT OF RETURN to their homes forever! That is why we ask all the friends of Cuba who believe in Marti's "Homeland is Humanity" "Patria es Humanidad" to join the calls of millions upon millions of human beings who are not willing to be counted amongst the indifferent while a genocide is happening. The Palestinian Youth Movement, an authentic/inspiring/independent/inclusive and indefatigable leadership, is once again calling on us to mobilize and get out without any ifs and buts! It is undoubtedly essential to know that during these demonstrations of solidarity with the people of Palestine, one will also find peoples of conscience who raise their voice in solidarity with Cuba against the genocidal blockade of Cuba by the U.S. government and its staunch ally-the Zionist apartheid state of Israel. Needles to say that the Latino/a friends of Cuba, more than ever, need to be present with their flags/banners/placards to join the struggles as the chants on the streets/gatherings have become: Viva Viva Palestina! Viva Via Intifada! Globalize Intifada! Brotherly; Morteza Gorgzadeh for Toronto Forum on Cuba [email protected] www.forumoncuba.com |
