‘Cuba and Chernobyl’
Cuba and Chernobyl, a video about Cuba’s medical aid program to children affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, was shown at the Ukrainian-American Citizens Hall in Cohoes, New York, sponsored by Albany Cuba Solidarity. The audience of about 40 included a few members of the local Ukrainian community. After the film, Mira Peck, who was born and raised in Poland near the border with Ukraine, talked about her recent visit to Cuba and what she learned during that trip.

Sanders is what we have
I know you don’t see the Sanders candidacy as representative of your values. But I think a transition for his campaign to more militancy is desperately needed. He is what we have now, and his followers are prime for this shift, especially since the loss in NY on the heels of Clinton corruption and voter suppression. Mobilizing the disenfranchised to a further pro-socialist, anti-capitalist shift is perfect for the current Sanders base.
