Hosted by the Muslim Counterpublics Lab (MCL), this conference marks the anniversary of 25 years on the Blobal War on Terror and 250 years of the American Empires. The goal of this conference is to confront the decades of structural violence that has been justified under the veil of battling "terrorism" by bringing together scholars, organizers, advocates, survivors, jounalists, and community members to examine lessons from the War on Terror, explore what resistance to this framework of state violence has looked like, and ask how we can imagine a future where infrastructure of the War on Terror is finally abolished. This conference will also hold space to mourn and remember survivors and the millions of victims of the War on Terror, as we continue to demand accountability, justice, and reparations.

The organizations, social movements, and grassroots networks gathered here in Havana, Cuba, from August 15 to 17, 2026, as part of the “Campaign for a Zone of Peace in Our Americas,” commemorate the 12th anniversary of the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, adopted at the Second Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in 2014, as well as Maurice Bishop’s earlier concept of the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace in 1980. We reaffirm the full validity of that declaration and the unrestricted commitment of our peoples to ensure respect for this fundamental principle.
The current Campaign for a Zone of Peace in Our Americas — launched on April 4, 2023, simultaneously in Havana, Cuba; Port-au-Prince, Haiti; and Washington, D.C., U.S. — arises in response to the growing threat posed by U.S. imperialism to peace, sovereignty, self-determination, and self-defense, as well as to the popular struggle of our peoples. We are gathering in Cuba to commemorate the centennial of Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz, whose vision of Latin American and Caribbean unity inspires and guides us in the struggle for a region free from interference, militarization, and imperialist domination. We salute the initiative and the warm welcome extended by the Cuban people, who once again demonstrate their internationalist solidarity. In response to the United States’ escalating violent attacks against the sovereignty of Cuba and its people, this particular gathering focuses on on-the-ground coordination and the necessary communication with grassroots organizations in Cuba to confront these lethal forms of U.S. militarization — economic, political, social, and military — in line with the principles of the Cuban Revolution.
In both Nicaragua and the U.S. commercial advertisements and surging diesel fumes fill up majority of the roads. However, in the article, unlike the U.S., it is argued that the Nicaraguan government has made changes to push for a more socialist economy. The Gloria Quintanilla Cooperative which is a women-led, coffee-producing community in Santa Julia is a significant example of these social transformations. The community has its own leadership structure, separate from the municipal government. The women who oversee the cooperative, also have legal rights to the large tract of land. One of the biggest social changes made in the community was the banning of alcohol, causing 90% of domestic violence within the community to have been eliminated. The article compares Nicaragua’s political will, which was manifested through an organized state power, reversed decades of neglect and compares it to the U.S. and the declining effects privatization is having on both the infrastructural and economic aspects back home.
‘Hondurasgate’ exposed a plan to boost far-right American puppets across the Western Hemisphere. Under the auspices of fighting international cartels and combating Chinese influence, Trump has sought to revive authoritarianism in the region.
U.S. interference in Latin Ameican politics is hardly novel. Since the very founding of the United States, its governments have tended to assert that the entire Western Hemisphere is America’s neocolonial possession. If anything, the recent Pink Tide—the period of left-wing populism in Central and South America that came about at the beginning of the 21st century—is a historical anomaly. From the Monroe Doctrine of the 19th century; the counterinsurgency doctrines created after World War II; the brutal, CIA-trained death squads that terrorized opposition parties in the 1970s and ’80s during Operation Condor; and the hard austerity politics of the neoliberal era at the end of the millennium, right-wing, US-backed governance has been the overwhelming Latin American status quo since the excising of the Spanish Empire.
