In this special episode, Ira and Leo speak with Cuban diplomats David Ramírez Álvarez and Adrián Heredia Machado about Cuba's ongoing struggle under the United States–imposed blockade. For the past 64 years, the United States has imposed an economic, commercial, and financial embargo on Cuba that prevents most trade with the United States and punishes other countries that engage with Cuba. In recent weeks, policies under Donald Trump have intensified the crisis, including an inhumane fuel blockade that inflicts daily hardships and deprivations on the Cuban people, creating shortages of basic necessities. Davis and Adrián told us about the resilience and inventiveness of the Cuban people in the face of these conditions. The episode also highlights the growing solidarity movement in the United States, as hundreds of young organizers embark on the Nuestra América Convoy to Cuba, delivering urgently needed aid in defiance of the blockade. Our very own co-host, Ira, will be joining them later this week, so be sure to tune in again to hear the interviews and statements Ira gathers on the ground, bringing first-hand accounts of solidarity, resistance, and the realities facing the Cuban people today.

From across the U.S., a clear message is being raised: Let Cuba Live!!!
