Yesterday, the President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel invited over 100 young organizers from North America to sit together and discuss the biggest challenges facing the people of the world today. We talked about the genocide taking place in Palestine and the movement to stop it, the US blockade on Cuba and the disastrous impact it has on all of us—inside both Cuba and the US, and our optimism to fight for true peace and justice around the world!

It was significant to be speaking to a true president of the people—one unafraid to have frank discussions and who will sit down with young activists and organizers and take seriously our collective efforts for a better world.
