Solidarity is sitting in the dark on a porch in Havana telling stories, catching a night breeze when the country’s power grid collapses. It is hugging a pediatric doctor who cries as she shares that they lack electricity to perform transplants on children in urgent need. It is walking with people who cannot get on the bus because there is no fuel. It is holding hands with a community leader who says his organization feeds 11,000 people a day—but that this work would be less needed or would not exist at all if the U.S. government recognized the humanity of the Cuban people and lifted the blockade.
