DC picket protests US rulers’ attacks against Cuba
MILITANT/GLOVA SCOTT figure end
WASHINGTON — Following an April 30 shooting attack of over 30 rounds
with an AK-47 assault rifle that damaged the Cuban Embassy here, the
D.C. Metro Coalition
in Solidarity with the Cuban Revolution sponsored a solidarity picket
line there May 7. While the shooter has been taken into custody, U.S.
authorities
have not condemned the attack nor have they provided information about
him to the Cuban government.
The attack came as Washington has been tightening its economic war
against Cuba and its revolution.
Participants also carried signs protesting the U.S. rulers’ efforts to
bring down the government of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. On May 3 a
motley group
of a couple dozen would-be invaders, led by two former U.S. special
forces soldiers, were captured — and some killed — by fishermen and
Venezuelan troops
when they attempted to land on shore. “The U.S. criminal year-long
effort to overthrow President Maduro is ongoing and must cease,” the
coalition said
in a news release announcing the action.
Over 25 partisans of the Cuban Revolution participated in the spirited
protest, including members of the All-African People’s Revolutionary
Party (GC);
FMLN of Washington, D.C.; metro-area Foro de Sao Paulo group; National
Lawyers Guild; One DC Black Workers & Wellness Center; and the Socialist
Workers
Party.

“It's natural to think that living things must be the handiwork of a designer.
But it was also natural to think that the sun went around the earth. Overcoming
naive impressions to figure out how things really work is one of humanity's
highest callings.
