Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing criticism over the timing of her recent overseas trip to Ghana, and budget cuts that hampered the city’s fire department from doing its job amid the ongoing citywide blaze. The mayor’s poorly timed foreign travel has raised questions about her priorities and similar past trips.

One of the most interesting chapters of Bass’ political career and international travel involves her past excursions to communist Cuba. The former U.S. congresswoman turned metropolitan mayor played a significant role with the Venceremos Brigade —a group linked to Cuba’s communist regime.

History of the Venceremos Brigade

The Venceremos Brigade, founded in 1969, is a U.S.-based organization that has facilitated trips for Americans to Cuba in defiance of U.S. travel restrictions. The group was formed by young activists in solidarity with the Marxist-Leninst Cuban Revolution, aiming to challenge U.S. policies toward Cuba, including economic sanctions—referred to as the “blockade” in alignment with Fidel Castro’s rhetoric—and travel bans.

During the past 56 years, the Venceremos Brigade has helped coordinate the travel of nearly 10,000 Americans to the communist island, according to reports from Cuban state media.
