Celebrating the 26th of July Movement, Precursor to Jan. 1, 1959

 

Participants in the January 2020 Emulation Tour at the Vehicle Reconstruction Coop in Havana.

Cuba has fewer than 1 death per 100,000 from COVID 19.  Cuba has almost no gun violence—because it does not sell guns!  Cuba has the lowest carbon footprint of any country on earth. Cuban has the highest literacy rate and educational attainment level of any country in Latin America.  Cuba has more doctors per capita than any country on earth.  Cuba’s worker-owned cooperatives receive land and buildings from the state.  All races and all citizens of Cuba have access to full health care, lifelong education, a job, voting rights, and basic services.  With no commercial advertising, Cuba instead focuses on meeting human needs.

Join us this Sunday to hear from participants in the January 2020 Emulation Tour of Human Agenda to Cuba, as well as from past participants from six Human Agenda Emulation Tours in the past 5 years.

Lisa Valanti, President, US-CUBA Sister Cities Association
