Join our delegation to learn firsthand about Cuba's complex and dynamic society. This time, we will focus on justice, health, and education in Cuba. Today, these are rights shared by all on the island but they are also affected by the U.S. Blockade. We will learn about these impacts and how we can show solidarity with the Cuban people.
This people-to-people delegation will explore issues such as these through conversations with professionals, artists, doctors, families, educators and neighborhood organizing committees. Visits to artist collectives, agricultural projects, and historic sites provide an on-the-ground immersion into Cuban life and culture. Everyone is welcome to join!
​
Delegates will meet:
​
-
Cultural workers: musicians, visual artists, dancers, and print-makers, and we will visit galleries, museums, public parks, and memorials
-
Teachers and Literacy Campaigners: who will tell us about the right to free education from daycare through university, about literacy campaigns in Cuba and across the world
-
Popular educators and journalists: at the MLK Centre, a hub for pedagogical resources and training
-
Workers who are members of agroecological farms
-
Doctors who are part of the public health system, but who have also worked on medical missions around the world.
-
Medicine students from the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM).

Sierra Reyes (she/her) is a community organizer, educator, abortion doula, and feminist scholar-activist living in Atlanta, Georgia. She primarily does organizing work in the reproductive justice movement and works with Access Reproductive Care-Southeast, a regional abortion fund and reproductive justice organization in the Deep South. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science from Kennesaw State University and a Master of Arts degree in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Georgia State University. Sierra's lifelong residence in the U.S. South has fueled her interest in social justice organizing, history, and the racial and gendered dynamics of U.S. politics in the U.S. and the Global South. Outside of reproductive justice and abortion access, her interests broadly encompass critical studies, decolonial and anti-imperalist feminist theory, and bridging the gap between feminist theory and
praxis by working outside the academy. Sierra primarily utilizes methods of feminist participatory action research to work with racialized and justice-impacted communities to expand reproductive justice and abortion access in the Southeast region of the United States. In her free time, she enjoys being outside with a book or friends and is also an avid pilates practitioner.
