Zacatecas Normalistas Join Solidarity with Cuba
This article by Alfredo Valadez originally appeared in the March 16, 2026 edition of La Jornada, Mexico’s premier left wing daily newspaper.
Zacatecas, Zacatecas. The national association of alumni of the Emiliano Zapata Rural Teachers’ College in Loreto, Zacatecas—founded in 1958—joined La Jornada‘s call to stand in solidarity with the government and people of Cuba, demanding that the United States end its illegal economic and energy blockade of the island. It launched a fundraising campaign to assist the Cuban people in the face of the severe food and fuel crisis they are experiencing.
The open call to alumni and the general public was launched this weekend, and immediately several San Marcos residents, both men and women, made bank deposits that will be used to purchase food, medicine, generators, and other essential products for the Caribbean nation.
