The New McCarthyism, Cuba and Communism
A UNAC statement
8/3/26
A new McCarthyism is being designed in Washington that puts all democratic rights in jeopardy. The House Ways and Means Committee has issued subpoenas demanding that three peace and justice organizations turn over internal communications, membership lists and financial records. This demand came 1 day after the release of a State Department report called “Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism” claiming that Cuba is the center of global terrorism and it comes after a recent Trump speech claiming that the biggest threat to the country is Communism. The State Department report names 43 people and organization including mayors, members of congress, a Labor Union and numerous journalists and organizations across the movement including the National Lawyers Guild, IFCO/Pasters for Peace, Code Pink, Black Lives Matter, The Democratic Socialists of America and many more. The subpoenas are issued against, Breakthrough News, The People’s Forum and Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. [read more]
