Cuba is in the dark—literally—after a fuel blockade cut off power across the island. This video from @JFReuwer shows the reality: homes without light, hospitals under strain, daily life pushed to the edge. This is what sanctions do to civilians.

Final day of WBW’s film festival: Governments criminalize migration, then criminalize solidarity. Volunteers, rescuers, neighbors... treated as threats for refusing to abandon people at borders. Watch Solidarity Crime and unpack how repression is enforced! worldbeyondwar.org/filmfest2026/

The president of Cuba @DiazCanelB greets hundreds of delegates from across the world who have converged in Havana for the Nuestera America Convoy bringing aid to overcome the inhumane US blockade. #CubaNoEstáSola 🇨🇺

Across Africa, organizations are adapting to survive in an unstable funding landscape. This session focuses on what actually works: disciplined project management, collective learning, and strategies that don’t collapse when aid shifts actionnetwork.org/events/csos-re…

👏 While U.S. policy deepens blackouts and scarcity in Cuba, people are building solidarity instead. WBW’s @JFReuwer and @AnnWright46 are in Havana delivering aid and standing with communities!

“Operation Total Extermination” has already meant U.S.-backed strikes in Ecuador, 46+ maritime attacks, and nearly 160 reported civilian deaths. Expanding a cross-border force without a legal basis is the normalization of permanent war. theintercept.com/2026/03/23/tru…

Powerful interests spent years normalizing escalation with Iran through lobbying, policy pressure, and manufactured urgency, while sidelining diplomacy. Now the predictable human cost is unfolding. foreignpolicy.com/2026/03/17/isr…
