[a video about Cuba from the news collective Belly Of The Beast]
Justine Medina is a barista and Cuban-American activist opposed to the embargo imposed by the U.S. government on Cuba, the island she considers her other homeland.
After multiple visits to Cuba, she says conditions have worsened: food shortages, scarcity of medicine and constant blackouts that make daily life harder.
According to Justine, this war, which has lasted 66 years and has intensified over time, only causes more suffering for the people.
“I grew up hearing criticism of the Cuban government,” says Justine, who was raised in Florida. “But I also learned that the embargo should end.”
