Update on This Campaign from Our European Partners! Nicaragua Will Be Respected! The U.S. debt to Nicaragua
May 4th in Nicaragua: Dignity, Sovereignty, and a Historical Debt That Remains Unsettled
“…From Europe, the Committees, Collectives, and Associations in Solidarity with the Sandinista People’s Revolution have decided to embrace this cause as part of our internationalist commitment. In 2025, we launched the campaign “Nicaragua Must Be Respected,” precisely on May 4th itself, with the aim of making this outstanding debt visible and demanding that the United States comply with its obligations. (www.ces-rps.com/nicaragua-se-respeta/)
“This campaign is not a symbolic gesture, but a platform for political articulation aimed at mobilizing collectives and organizations across the continent, with the hope that it will expand internationally.
“Therefore, we call on the entire solidarity movement with Nicaragua to join this demand (nicaraguaserespeta@ces-rps.com).”

FROM THEIR FULL STATEMENT FROM MAY 4, 2026:
“May 4th occupies a central place in Nicaragua’s political consciousness. It is a date charged with historical, legal, and symbolic meaning that connects the anti-imperialist resistance of the past with today’s struggles in defense of sovereignty. This day commemorates General Sandino’s decision in 1927 to reject the so-called Pact of Espino Negro, refusing to lay down arms in the face of foreign occupation. That gesture marked a turning point: it established that national dignity is not negotiable.
“This recognition has neither been improvised nor recent. May 4th has been declared the “Day of National Dignity” at different stages in Nicaraguan history, reflecting its enduring political importance over time….National dignity implies the active defense of sovereignty against any form of foreign interference.
“Within this framework, one of the strongest elements of contemporary Nicaraguan political discourse is the ongoing demand regarding a historical debt arising from the armed intervention and destabilization actions carried out by the United States. This demand is based on the 1986 ruling of the International Court of Justice, whose resolution remains unfulfilled….”

"TEACH-IN AND TOOLKIT LAUNCH: SANCTIONS UNDERMINE CHILDREN’S RIGHT TO HEALTH"
One of the proudest accomplishments of the Cuban, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan revolutions has been the right to health, guaranteed to all citizens through universal healthcare. These countries have some of the best child health indicators in the world, but those gains are threatened by unilateral coercive measures, especially those imposed by the United States.
Americas Without Sanctions presents its new teach-in materials to explain how the US blockades of Cuba and Venezuela undermine children’s right to health.” As we demand that the US Government Stop Killing Children with Sanctions, we also call for a Peoples-Centered Human Rights framework.
SPEAKERS:
Ajamu Baraka, founder of the Black Alliance for Peace and Director of the North-South Project for Peoples-Centered Human Rights
Anahí Arizmendi, Venezuelan journalist and author of “Children Under Siege”
Jill Clark-Gollub, Coordinator of Americas Without Sanctions, a project of the SanctionsKill campaign
