Hurricane Ian caused massive damage to Cuba — Let’s all help Cuba’s recovery!
https://www.hatueyproject.org/donateHurricane Ian has devastated Cuba’s western provinces of Pinar del Río, Mayabeque and Artemisa. All of Cuba was without electrical power for two days.

Cubans vote on Family Code that protects human dignity
https://www.workers.org/?p=66734The new Code would legalize same-sex marriage, allow same-sex couples to adopt children, promote equal sharing of domestic responsibilities and extend labor rights (including pay) for those who care full-time for children, the elderly and people with disabilities. It would further confirm the right to free abortion, paid family leave and assisted and surrogate pregnancies (but not for profit), and it would fight gender-based violence and expand the rights of children and grandparents. ... read full post

What are some good documentaries to check out? What somewhat-short books are good? I’d like to learn about the Martí to Castro period specifically, but anything you can send is wonderful. Thanks

How do you go about speaking about Cuba in a positive light to a Cuban born native who lived through the special period?
I have friend who's thankfully is open minded enough to not completely disown me for daring to go against his world views of Cuba. He grew up in Cuba(his family were not landowners) and moved to NA in the late 90s. He still has family in Cuba now and visits often but he is adamant his family, as well as the majority of people in Cuba are against the government. I know this is not true, or at the very least, confirmation bias from his side, as the PPC and the dictatorship of the proletariat would collapse if that's the case. ... read full post
