Over the course of the summer, a number of éirígí activists visited the island of Cuba. These activists travelled there to take part in the Jose Marti European International Work Brigade which travels to Cuba each year to work in solidarity with the Cuban Revolution. The brigade was situated at the Campamento Internacional Julio Antonio Mella, a short distance outside Havana. The solidarity work took the form of both agricultural and construction work

As part of the camp’s programme, many groups and individuals came to give talks and presentations to brigadistas from the various European countries represented. These visits allowed the éirígí members the opportunity to present Spanish language versions of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic to the families of the Miami 5, veterans of the revolutionary war, members of the Cuban Olympic Team, representatives of student & youth groups, the Union of Young Communists, and reporters from Granma Newspaper etc.
