Sam McGill has just returned from the 2019 Anti-imperialist Solidarity Meeting for Democracy and Against Neoliberalism in Havana, Cuba. At this meeting Sam will report back on her experiences there. One of the things endorsed by the conference was the urgent need to build an international, anti-imperialist movement against climate change.
