Global Campaign for Signature Collection: “CUBA IS NOT ALONE! – FIRMO POR CUBA”
TO WFTU AFFILIATES AND FRIENDS
Dear comrades,
The WFTU Presidential Council, which met on the 12th and 13th of May 2026, expresses its full solidarity and unwavering support to the heroic people of Cuba, who continue to defend the gains of the Revolution despite the intensified imperialist aggression and the criminal longstanding blockade imposed by the United States.
Despite the repeated condemnation of the blockade by the overwhelming majority of the international community and by the United Nations General Assembly, the U.S. government continues to intensify the economic war against Cuba. Under false pretexts and through additional sanctions and restrictions, it seeks to suffocate the Cuban economy, creating serious consequences for the living and working conditions of the Cuban people, particularly in the fields of energy, healthcare, transport, and everyday life.
At the same time, the imperialist forces and their allies attempt to exploit these difficulties in order to undermine and overthrow the Cuban Revolution and isolate socialist Cuba internationally. However, the Cuban working class and people continue to resist with dignity, resilience, and determination, defending their sovereign right to choose their own path without foreign intervention and coercion.

In these critical circumstances, solidarity with Cuba cannot remain only at the level of declarations. The present conditions demand concrete internationalist action and practical solidarity from the class-oriented trade union movement and the peoples of the world.
Following the unanimous decision of the WFTU Presidential Council Meeting, held on the 12th and 13th of May 2026, the WFTU calls upon its affiliates and friends to actively participate in the Global Campaign for Signature Collection: “Cuba is not alone! – FIRMO POR CUBA”.
We call on all trade unions, workers’ organizations, youth and popular organizations, activists, and friends of Cuba to strengthen and organize the campaign in every country, every workplace, every sector, every university, and every neighborhood.
