State Department links Cuba’s push for ‘guerilla warfare’ to American leftist movement
The report traces financial and political ties between the Venceremos Brigade and the Black Lives Matter cause, Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and others, describing how the group “brought some 10,000 American activists to Cuba” since Cuban officials helped form it in 1969. “It has been linked to the formation of some of the most infamous far-left terrorist movements in U.S. history.”Advertisement The Monday report, citing mostly public information, calls out American leftists’ affinity for hostile Cuba as a national security concern with an intensity not seen in prior administrations. The charity was the fiscal sponsor for the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation between 2016 and 2020, the State Department noted.
