From Australia to Cuba with Love
|
In 2022, between January 1st and April 15th, the Brisbane Branch coordinated a national campaign 'From Australia to Cuba with Love' where over 60 participants collectively cycled, ran, walked, danced and swam the return distance between Australia and Cuba (around 29,000 km). We raised awareness of the US blockade of Cuba and over $27,000 for vital medical projects in Cuba. |

Dubbed Poetry in Motion they have been very well received, with considerable interest from members and supporters. The events have also featured musical performances and video screenings. They now coincide with our July 26 celebration |
