In a resounding rejection of the corporate media’s non-stop propaganda campaign, people in cities all across the United States participated in demonstrations July 24-26 to demand an end to the blockade of Cuba and all U.S. intervention. Organizers of the demonstrations argued that the hardships experienced by the Cuban people are the result of the six-decade-long economic war being waged on the country by the United States. They rejected the lie that the Cuban government is oppressive towards its people and expressed support for the Cuban revolution.
The actions coincided with the annual July 26 holiday, which commemorates the 1953 raid on the Moncada barracks led by Fidel Castro that sparked the revolution.

A masked student arrives at Milwaukee College Prep s North Avenue campus.
Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) is set to lose 2,000 students and at least $4 million next year, as charter school network Milwaukee College Prep (MCP) cuts ties with the district.
MPS has contracts with 15 independent charter schools, including the four MCP locations. The charter schools are independently-run but publicly-funded, and are accountable to the MPS Board.
MCP’s departure is one sign of growing tension between MPS and the charter schools under its umbrella.
