Minneapolis protest: ‘Defend the Cuban Revolution!’
FRANKLIN CURBELO
MINNEAPOLIS — More than two dozen people joined a picket here Jan. 17 in
defense of the Cuban Revolution, an emergency response to the U.S.
government’s decision a few days earlier to once again place Cuba on its
“state sponsors of terrorism” sanctions list. The protest was called by
the Minnesota Cuba Committee and Women Against Military Madness.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cited Cuba’s support for the Venezuelan
government of Nicolás Maduro and its refusal to extradite people granted
political asylum, like former Black Panther Assata Shakur, as justification.
“Placing Cuba on the list is yet another attack against the 62-year-old
victorious revolution of the workers and peasants,” Socialist Workers
Party leader Helen Meyers said at the event.

Emmett F. Fields “ Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do
not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud. Atheism is
an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively,
fearlessly, always trying to understand all things as a part of nature.
