Last night, several brigades deployed throughout neighborhoods of the city to leave a graphic record that “Cuba is not alone,” and the demand “Yankees out of Latin America.”

This is one of many expressions of support that the Cuban people are receiving for their resistance to the hardships of the blockade reinforced by Washington, which is betting on implosion or military intervention.

The graffiti is part of the actions of the active and diverse solidarity movement with the besieged island.

The Communist Party of Uruguay and its youth branch, the Union of Communist Youth, are participating.

The Uruguayan Anti-Imperialist Committee of Solidarity with Cuba and the Peoples of the World plays a leading role.

This coordinating body of Uruguayan social, labor, and political organizations is dedicated to supporting the Cuban Revolution and denouncing foreign intervention in Latin America.

Representing the committee are the PIT-CNT labor federation, the Broad Front, the Federation of University Students, and the Uruguayan Federation of Mutual Aid Housing Cooperatives.

Also represented are Crysol, an association of former political prisoners of the dictatorship; Mundo Afro; the Association of Doctors Graduated from the Latin American School of Medicine in Cuba; the Network of Intellectuals and Artists in Defense of Humanity; and the World Federation of Trade Unions.

Fund-raising campaigns, medicines, and medical supplies are ongoing here to try to circumvent the blockade.

Public events and discussions about Cuba are also frequent.

This year, two brigades, the Fidel Castro Brigade and the May 1st Brigade, traveled to Cuba with solidarity supplies.

It’s no surprise to find posters and graffiti in support of Cuba in this capital; they’ve multiplied since last night.
