Most of the people who work hard do not have economic power, and most of the persons with economic power do not work hard.

As ambitious people, Jamaicans are willing to work for what we want; we don’t want handouts. We see work as a tool of economic empowerment which prevents our citizens from being reliant on handouts which will keep them dependent.

The illegal blockade of Cuba shares similarities to the equally illegal blockade of Gaza in Palestine. Both prevent access to vital life saving supplies and are internationally condemned as unconscionable. #MejorSinBloqueo #BetterWithoutABlockade

We stand in solidarity with the Haitian people in their demands for self-determination and Democracy, as white politicians from other countries threaten them with another military occupation. Foreign intervention is the problem, not the solution.

The workers of the NWC have taken strike action. This is a move LANDS sympathises with. The workers have gone over a decade without monies owed to them being paid and while this action can be viewed as drastic, it is understandable.

Cuba remains one of Jamaica's truest friends, seen in their support of healthcare and education for solidarity, not profit. And though slandered for their revolution it continues to be a model for all seeking sovereignty #AbrazandoLaAmistad #SiempreConCuba #VivaRevolucion

After a week of discussion, our Foreign Policy Committee concluded its position on the current situation between Guyana and Venezuela. This is an issue that we have been following since 2017, but the recent escalations made stakes higher.

A reminder that David Cameron, UK Prime Minister at the time, visited Jamaica in 2015 and said we should "move on" from slavery

In 2018, big revelations were made (including by British media) about the British government's compensation of slave owners in the 1800s. The British government took out a loan so big that they didn't stop paying it off until 2015. They still haven't paid reparations.

A country that aims to unilaterally enforce coercive measures against other countries should not be allowed to host international events, whether for diplomacy or sports.

This is not a new problem. If there was proper investment in agroprocessing, farmers would have a market for their produce in times of oversupply.

The colonial era issue of affordable housing continues to plague Jamaica as long drawn out land disputes like in Little Bay/Brighton are unfortunately not irregular occurrences.

You can't honestly talk about the economic conditions that exist in Cuba, Venezuela, or the DPRK without talking about the inhumane sanctions that the US has put on these countries. #TodosSomosVenezuela

The work of independence cannot be called complete so long as the Queen remains head of state or without reparations for slavery. "Independence" means nothing if we cannot feed and house ourselves, or if elected officials pander to foreign capital at the expense of our people.
