Anti-Imperialist Forum in the Defence of the Peoples

An umbrella organization of Cuban Social Movements is organizing an Anti-Imperialist Virtual Forum in Defence of the Peoples on December 9-10 and calls on everyone to participate. The Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) points out:

“The Forum aims to provide a space for coordination, unity, solidarity and the condemnation of imperialism, the main culprit when it comes to the violation of human rights worldwide.

Humanity is still suffering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that has exacerbated inequality, exclusion and poverty. In today’s world, the logic of capital takes precedence over life and the health of the planet. The environment is under siege with unsustainable patterns of production and consumption, causing irreversible damage to ecosystems. Peace is threatened by wars and conflicts that destroy peoples and civilizations.

We live in an era of unilateral coercive measures and policies of interference that undermine sovereignty, self-determination and human rights. Western models are imposed in an attempt to erase national identities. Humanity is suffering a cultural and media war that seeks to deprive people of their own thought material and alienate them from their historical claims.

Faced with this state of affairs the necessity arises to stand united against interference, colonialism, foreign occupation and discrimination of any kind. Let us fight tirelessly for a better world. Our peoples have the right to peace, equality and social justice.

Let us preserve what is most precious: human life and dignity.
