Let Cuba Live Youth Brigade

The Let Cuba Live Youth Brigade is a radical-left group that coordinated travel to Communist-ruled Cuba in March 2026 for 40 organizers from groups including Palestinian Youth Movement, Artists Against Apartheid, Nodutdol: Korean Community Development, the Party for Socialism and Liberation and Feminist Collective in Construction. 1 The group accuses the Trump administration of implementing a “genocidal siege against the Cuban people.”  1

    Aside from meeting with locals, the purpose of Let Cuba Live Youth Brigade’s travel to Cuba was ostensibly to bring humanitarian aid to evade what it claims is an American blockade of the island nation. 2

    An earlier delegation, which traveled to Cuba in 2024, met with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, who said “I think that everything we do for Palestine is too little.” 3 He also named among the challenges facing Cuba “ensur[ing] that Fidel [Castro] always remains among us” and “that all the revolutionary epic, all the greatness, is not lost.” 3
