The 2019 Brigade returns to the US determined to end the U.S. imposed economic blockade and travel ban!
Cuba is the only country on earth that US citizens can’t travel to freely. Following the 50-year tradition of the Venceremos Brigade, in July, 2019, we traveled to Cuba to practice solidarity with the Cuban People and their struggles, many of which are due U.S. policy. We do this through voluntary labor, donations of material aid, relationships building and dialogue between our peoples. We have much to learn from each other about building a more just and equitable world. During the 50th brigade, 164 U.S. Americans had the opportunity to travel to Cuba within these values.
