After the US attack on Venezuela on January 3, the US has continued its interventionist measures. Trump openly vowed to cut off oil and financial support to the island of Cuba, reviving decades-old imperial intimidation. Cuba responded not with fear, but with mass mobilization. Nearly half a million people marched through Havana to honor the 32 Cuban combatants killed in Venezuela and to reaffirm their refusal to surrender to aggression.

In conversation with Peoples Dispatch, Cuban writer Abel Prieto and former ambassador José R. Cabañas explain how this attack signals a dangerous new phase of US interventionism and why it has also strengthened anti-imperialist resolve across Latin America.

#PeoplesHistory | 🇨🇺 Today, we remember the Cuban independence leader and writer José Martí, a symbol of Latin American unity against imperialism.

Martí was a Cuban poet, thinker, and an essential figure in the Cuban struggle for independence from Spain. Through his writing and undeterred leadership, he became an icon of liberation and freedom for all in Latin America and the Caribbean, reaching the heights of Simón Bolivar and Augusto Sandino. Martí coined the concept of "Our America", a political, social, cultural, and economic alternative to the America subjugated by US imperialism.
