About the Conference
With little Elian safely home, more and more Americans are
questioning why the United States calls Cuba a "rogue nation" and
maintains the longest economic embargo in history. Throughout the third
world
Cuba is seen as a model for education, health care, and environmental
harmony. Why does the United States government insist that Cuba--our
closest island neighbor--must be our enemy? How can we contribute to
bringing the Cold War with Cuba to an end?
This all-day conference is to introduce participants to the movement
to end the U.S. embargo against Cuba groups, individuals and
progressives legal action, material aid, and outreach to our fellow
citizens.
The Conference includes an opportunity to join the CT
Delegation to World Solidarity Conference in Havana in November 2000.
