WFP delegates reflect on their trip to Cuba focused on art, healthcare, senior living, and agroecology. The report back is focused on the triumph of the Revolution and how Cubans have spent over six decades building a socialist society. Delegates also discuss the effects of recent changes in US-Cuba relations including the longstanding ilegal U.S. Blockade on Cuba.

Some delegates reflect on their experience in Cuba, the lessons learned from their visit to the island and the urgency of ending the US blockade against the Cuban people.

https://democracynow.org - Last week, there was an attempted assassination on the life of Bertita Zúñiga Cáceres, the daughter of murdered Honduran indigenous and environmental leader Berta Cáceres. Bertita Zúñiga Cáceres was driving back with two colleagues from a community visit in central Honduras when a black pickup truck blocked their path. Three assailants jumped out of the truck and attempted an attack, but Zúñiga and her colleagues narrowly escaped. The incident comes just weeks after Zúñiga was named the new leader of the indigenous rights group Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH). She recently demonstrated in support of pending U.S. legislation to suspend U.S. military aid to Honduras. Her protest was a part of a week of action coordinated by the U.S.-based human rights group Witness for Peace. We speak with Bertita Zúñiga Cáceres at her home in La Esperanza, Honduras. Also joining the conversation is Chicago-based Matt Ginsberg-Jaeckle, who spent 10 years in Honduras working with COPINH.
