People-to-People travel to Cuba is an act of solidarity and resistance. At a time when the U.S. government continues to intensify its economic war against the Cuban people, traveling to Cuba, listening, learning, and bringing humanitarian aid are concrete acts that challenge a policy built on isolation and collective punishment.

Join Global Exchange for a People-to-People Solidarity Delegation that brings together people committed to witnessing the realities of life under the U.S. blockade and standing alongside the Cuban people. This delegation is an opportunity to learn directly from community leaders, healthcare workers, educators, artists, journalists, and organizers about how Cubans are confronting one of the longest-running economic sieges in modern history while continuing to build and strengthen their communities.

For two days, delegates will also participate in the First International Colloquium, Fidel: Legacy and Future, commemorating the centenary of Fidel Castro Ruz. The gathering will bring together Cuban and international participants to examine Fidel’s legacy, discuss today’s political challenges, and explore the role of new generations in shaping Cuba’s future.

Throughout the delegation, we will hear directly from the people most affected by U.S. policy. We will meet with special educators striving to care for their students despite severe shortages caused by the blockade. We will also spend time with artists, cultural workers, and community organizers whose work continues to strengthen their neighborhoods despite extraordinary economic pressures.

We will also experience the arts, culture, and religious traditions that continue to flourish, not despite hardship, but alongside a deep collective commitment to community and dignity.

Every delegate will travel with humanitarian aid destined for Cuban hospitals, clinics, community organizations, and families. Each participant will help carry critically needed medicines and supplies that are increasingly difficult—or impossible—for Cubans to obtain because of the blockade. Global Exchange coordinates the collection, packing, and delivery of these supplies and can help every delegate fill their aid bags before departure.

When you return home, the work continues. Bearing witness carries responsibility. Delegates become advocates who can challenge misinformation, speak honestly about what they experienced, and help build the growing movement to end the U.S. blockade and support the Cuban people’s right to determine their own future.
