Cuba & Mexico: A History of Solidarity

What binds Cuba and Mexico beyond geography? From Mexico’s refusal to sever ties after the 1959 Revolution to Claudia Sheinbaum’s defiance of US attempts to isolate Cuba, the relationship runs deep. This Cuba 201 session presented by the Action for Cuba Committee Political Education team  explores the revolutionary ties, diplomatic twists, and people-to-people solidarity that have defined Cuba-Mexico relations for over a century.

Help Send Aid to Cuba!

We are bringing together 150 volunteers from across the country for a people‑to‑people solidarity brigade. We will travel to work alongside local families, health workers, and community organizations, sharing knowledge and offering material support where it is needed most.

Our goal is to raise $100,000. The majority of these funds will go directly to material aid – medical supplies, solar lanterns, school kits, and hygiene products – for the communities we are in solidarity with. The rest will help cover travel flexibility so the brigade can adapt to changing conditions, as well as partial scholarships so that no one is left behind because of cost.

Sutures Save Lives

The Saving Lives Campaign and Global Health Partners have launched a joint campaign to raise funds for 60,000+ surgical sutures to be delivered to Cuba by February 2026.

Cuba is renowned for its healthcare system and medical innovation. Yet after 60+ years of the U.S. blockade, even basics like sutures are hard to come by. Suppliers cancel contracts. Financial institutions withdraw. Hospitals are left without essential supplies. In the past year alone, Cuba lost contracts for medical oxygen, pharmaceutical equipment, and brain tumor medications all due to sanctions pressure. Help us deliver these lifesaving sutures. Every donation gets medical equipment into Cuban hospitals.

Take Cuba #OffTheList!

Stay at the front lines of the fight to end the U.S. blockade and remove Cuba from the US State Department’s list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. Cuba does not meet the criteria for this unjust designation. Yet the listing remains a tool of political coercion: harming Cubans, restricting U.S. travelers, blocking humanitarian aid, and penalizing U.S. businesses.

Thousands of us are organizing to end the blockade, defeat lawfare attacks, and get Cuba off the terrorism list. The #OffTheList newsletter keeps us connected. Get weekly updates, action alerts, and tools to organize in your community. Join the network. Sign up today.
