DESCRIPTION:SF Rally: Let Cuba Live! Say No to CIA Plots!\n\nMonday, November 15 @ 
 5:30pm\nPowell + Market St, San Francisco\n\nCo-sponsors + endorsers: 
 Venceremos Brigade/Bay Area, Saving Lives Campaign/Bay Area, International 
 Committee for Peace, Justice & Dignity, Cuba & Venezuela Solidarity 
 Committee, Party for Socialism and Liberation, Task Force on the Americas, 
 Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES), Democratic 
 Socialists of America - San Francisco\n\nDonald Trump imposed 243 
 additional coercive measures aimed at tightening the U.S. economic blockade 
 against Cuba. Increased economic suffering for ordinary Cubans is the 
 consequence of this policy. President Biden has not lifted even one of the 
 additional sanctions imposed by Trump. Instead of treating Cuba as a 
 neighbor and resuming the process towards normalization between U.S. and 
 Cuba, the Biden White House is working overtime to promote a 
 counterrevolution inside of Cuba.\n\nThe State Department, the CIA, the 
 National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and other U.S. agencies are working 
 to organize anti-government protests in Cuba on Monday, November 15.\n\nThe 
 organizers of the November 15 demonstrators are the same players who led 
 violent attacks on people and public facilities on July 11. One such 
 person, Yunior García Aguilera, has been exposed in recent weeks as having 
 direct links with notorious Miami-based terrorist Ramón Saúl Sánchez, 
 and CIA plots to try to create conflict within Cuba.\n\nThe Cuban 
 government has made it clear that it will take measures to defend Cuba from 
 the CIA sponsored destabilization campaign. Let us never forget that the 
 U.S. used similar tactics to overthrow the Iranian government in 1953, the 
 Guatemalan government in 1954, the socialist government of Salvador Allende 
 in Chile in 1973.\n\nWe are calling on people to show their support for the 
 right of Cuba to retain its sovereignty and freedom from imperialist 
 efforts to overthrow the government.\n\nThe U.S. blockade against Cuba must 
 be ended. Cuba has led the way in providing free healthcare for its own 
 citizens and poor people around the world. The U.S. has been at war against 
 this revolution ever since it succeeded in toppling the U.S. backed 
 dictatorship of Batista in 1959. What the U.S. fears is that if Cuba is 
 allowed to live free from outside interference, it will be an example for 
 the rest of Latin America that has suffered for centuries under the boot of 
 colonialism and imperialism.\n
