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.

Cuba does not give up! Cuba insists and resists! And that insistence is intolerable for the empire!
That Cuban resistance is an open wound in the pride of those who want to dominate this world. Because Cuba demonstrates, day after day, that one can live with dignity, that one can build one's own destiny, without asking permission and without bowing one's head. That is why they attack it, that is why they block it, that is why they try to suffocate it.
But they are wrong time and again. They are wrong because they do not know the moral fiber of this people. They are wrong because they do not understand that the love of liberty is stronger than any economic sanction. They are wrong because Cuba is not alone, because the heart of the workers of the world beats alongside the heart of Cuba.
¡Cuba no se rinde! ¡Cuba insiste y resiste! ¡Y esa insistencia es intolerable para el imperio!
Esa resistencia cubana es una herida abierta en el orgullo de los que quieren dominar este mundo. Porque Cuba demuestra, día tras día, que se puede vivir con dignidad, que se puede construir un destino propio, sin pedir permiso y sin bajar la cabeza. Por eso la atacan, por eso la bloquean, por eso intentan asfixiarla.
Pero se equivocan una y otra vez. Se equivocan porque no conocen la fibra moral de este pueblo. Se equivocan porque no entienden que el amor a la libertad es más fuerte que cualquier sanción económica. Se equivocan porque Cuba no está sola, porque el coraz ón de los trabajadores del mundo late junto al corazón de Cuba.
¡Cuba es la luz que guía a los que luchan! ¡Cuba es la esperanza de un mundo diferente, un mundo donde el ser humano esté por encima del capital! Por eso, desde esta tribuna, gritamos con todas nuestras fuerzas: ¡Basta de bloqueo! ¡Basta de agresiones! ¡Basta de mentiras!
¡Y que viva Cuba libre!
(Exclamaciones de: “¡Viva!”)
