https://peertube.world/videos/watch/b72a70e0-64a3-4024-8de5-8e378715b6b8 Imani Bashir is a Black American activist from Washington D.C. She visited to Cuba following a radical political tradition, one that includes Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, and Kwame Ture, figures who understood the Cuban Revolution as part of a broader struggle for liberation. For Bashir, visiting Cuba wasn't just political, it was personal. Seeing Afro-Cuban people, she says, was seeing people who look like her, who share her history, who have maintained their culture and dignity under decades of sanctions. Her argument on the blockade is straightforward: Cuba has never been a threat to the United States. It has never put U.S. safety, its food supply, or resources at stake. "It has only been the other way around," she says. And on the U.S. government's stated concern for the Cuban people: "I absolutely don't think that the United States government wants to help the Cuban people, because the United States government doesn't want to help the American people.” U.S. Voices Against the Blockade is a series featuring U.S. citizens who oppose U.S. sanctions on Cuba.
