Video - US Voices Against the Blockade | Episode 3: Justine Medinahttps://peertube.world/w/2S27HG4E8Mih59hNA9Hh4NDuration - 2:06 [a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast] Justine Medina is a barista and Cuban-American activist opposed to the embargo imposed by the #US government on Cuba, the island she considers her other homeland.After multiple visits to Cuba, she says conditions have worsened: food shortages, scarcity of medicine and constant blackouts that make daily life harder.According to Justine, this war, which has lasted 66 years and has intensified over time, only causes more suffering for the people.“I grew up hearing criticism of the Cuban government,” says Justine, who was raised in Florida. “But I also learned that the #embargo should end.” #NuestraAméricaConvoy#OilForCuba!#EndTheBlockadeEmbargo#CubaSolidarity #LetCubaLive#EndSanctionsAgainstCuba#VivaCuba #CubaSí #AbajoElBloqueo #SolidaridadConCuba #LatinAmerica #Caribbean#politics #USpol

It moved him personally, as a #Black man, as a father, as someone who carries both America and #Africa inside him.Walking deeper into Old Havana, he kept seeing faces that looked like home.“What I like the most about this experience is seeing that there are Black people on this planet who can't be broken,” he said.#politics #BlackMastodon
