A event held at PRSC on Tuesday 26th May. The event starts at 19:00.
Hosted by Isaac Kneebone-Hopkins and Priyanka Raval, People Just Do Something is the podcast for people who want to change the world. Each episode attempts to untangle what it really means to effect change in Bristol, broken Britain, and beyond.
For our May live show, we’ll be joined by Rob Miller, Director of The Cuba Solidarity Campaign, a UK-based organisation working to challenge the ongoing US blockade of Cuba and to support the Cuban people’s right to self-determination.
Together, we’ll explore questions at the intersection of international solidarity and grassroots politics:
- What does meaningful international solidarity look like today?
- How does the blockade impact everyday life in Cuba and why does it persist?
- What inspiration can we take from the Cuban Revolution?
- What role can activists, trade unions, and political movements in the UK play in global struggles?
Expect thoughtful conversation, political insight, and the chance to put your own questions to the guest.
Date: Tuesday 26 May
Venue: PRSC (People’s Republic of Stokes Croft)
Doors Open: 6:30pm, show starts at 7pm sharp
Come along, take part in the discussion, and help shape the conversation.

About the Cuba Solidarity Campaign
We are a British organisation that campaigns against the inhumane and illegal 62 year old blockade of Cuba, for an end to the US occupation of Cuban land at Guantanamo Bay, and to defend the Cuban people’s right to be free from foreign intervention.
The Cuba Solidarity Campaign is broad based and has more than 5,000 members, affiliated organisations and local groups. Together we lobby MPs and government, organise solidarity brigades specialist tours and exchanges, and work to build links and better understanding between Britain and Cuba.
Our supporters include members of the public, trade unions, MPs, community, legal, cultural and educational groups.
Activities range from high profile campaigns and lobbying, speaking tours, public meetings, cultural events and festivals celebrating the island’s rich cultural heritage, specialist tours, online sales of Cuba related goods and resources, and media work and publications which reflect an insight into the reality of the situation on the island, rarely reported in the western media
We also fundraise for finances and material aid to support the Cuban people against the effects of the blockade and for hurricane relief work.
CSC is a non-party political NGO which relies on subscriptions and fundraising to carry out our work to defend Cuba.
Please support us and the people of Cuba by joining the campaign today, or making an online donation to our work.
