The website us-cubanormalization.org is run by the International US-Cuba Normalization Coalition Committee (also referred to as the US-Cuba Normalization Conference Coalition or similar variations like International US-Cuba Normalization Conference Coalition Committee). It is a coalition/organizing group focused on advocacy for normalizing U.S.-Cuba relations, ending the U.S. blockade/embargo on Cuba, and building solidarity campaigns. It organizes conferences (e.g., annual International U.S.-Cuba Normalization Conferences, including events in March 2025 and March 2026), action plans, workshops, and campaigns.

 

This appears to be a grassroots activist coalition rather than a formal nonprofit with a traditional hierarchical structure, board of directors, or publicly detailed funding sources. It collaborates with various solidarity groups (e.g., National Network on Cuba/NNOC, Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba, Cuba Si NY/NJ Coalition, US Hands Off Cuba Committee, and others).

 

### Principal People Involved in Running/Organizing It

Key figures mentioned repeatedly in leadership, co-chair, organizer, or steering roles across conference materials, statements, and site content include:

 

  • Ike Nahem — A prominent organizer and leader; founder/leader of the New York-New Jersey Cuba Si Coalition; organizer for the International US-Cuba Normalization Conference; frequently listed as a co-chair or key contact.

  • Tamara Hansen — Co-chair; executive member of the Canadian Network on Cuba; coordinator of Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba (VCSC); author on Cuban topics.

  • Onyesonwu Chatoyer — Co-chair; Co-Chair of the National Network on Cuba (NNOC); participant in Venceremos Brigade.

  • Brenda Lopez — Co-coordinator for Los Angeles US Hands Off Cuba Committee; involved in co-chairing or panels.

 

Other notable contributors/speakers/organizers in workshops, panels, and events (often from affiliated groups):

  • Bob Schwartz — Executive Director of Global Health Partners; involved in humanitarian initiatives focused on Cuba.

  • Ana-Maria Cardenas, Esq. — Attorney and longtime advocate; former program coordinator for IFCO/Pastors for Peace; involved in delegations to Cuba.

  • Margaret Kunstler, Esq. — Civil rights attorney; co-founder of U.S. Cuba Medical Project.

  • Corinna Mullen — CUNY Faculty; Steering Committee, PSC-CUNY International Committee.

  • Julie Wolenski — Chicago Cuba Coalition; retired railroad worker and trade unionist.

 

Posts and articles are often attributed to US-Cuba Normalization Committee (a generic/byline for the group), with admin/authors like Ike Nahem appearing on specific pieces.

 

### Funding

There is no publicly detailed information on specific funders, donors, major grants, or financial backers visible on the site or in related sources. It solicits suggested donations (e.g., $20 for conference attendance, with no one turned away for lack of funds) and likely relies on grassroots contributions, event registrations, and support from affiliated solidarity organizations. The coalition criticizes U.S. government funding for anti-Cuba "democracy" programs, positioning itself as opposing such efforts. No evidence points to major institutional or government funding for this group itself—it's framed as people-to-people solidarity activism.

 

For the most current or detailed info, check their contact (info@us-cubanormalization.org) or conference pages directly, as coalitions like this often evolve through volunteer and network-based efforts.

chatgpt did a better job

 

show me the small number of funders and activist insitutions that appear repeatedly across cuba palestine venezuela and anti sanctions campaigns in the us

 

When researchers map U.S. activism around Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela, and anti-sanctions campaigns, a relatively small set of funders, donor vehicles, and activist institutions show up repeatedly across many different movements.

 

These aren’t the only players, but they are some of the most commonly cited nodes linking multiple campaigns.

 

  1. Key individual financier

Neville Roy Singham

 

One of the most frequently mentioned private donors connected to multiple activist organizations.

 

Reported roles:

 

Major funding source for CODEPINK and The People's Forum.

 

Funding reportedly routed through donor-advised funds and intermediary nonprofits.

 

Investigations and reports have linked a network of organizations around him—sometimes called the “Singham network.”

 

Groups associated with this ecosystem have participated in campaigns related to:

 

Palestinian solidarity protests

 

anti-sanctions activism

 

pro-Cuba and pro-Venezuela events

 

anti-war demonstrations

 

  1. Major activist hub

The People's Forum

 

A political education center and event venue that hosts:

 

conferences

 

protest organizing meetings

 

activist training programs

 

It has received tens of millions in funding linked to Singham-connected donor networks between 2017–2022.

 

Events there have involved activists focused on:

 

Cuba solidarity

 

Palestinian activism

 

Venezuela policy

 

anti-sanctions campaigns

 

  1. Anti-war activist infrastructure

CODEPINK

 

Founded during the Iraq War, this group now campaigns on multiple foreign-policy issues.

 

Activities often include:

 

protests against U.S. sanctions

 

Palestinian solidarity demonstrations

 

campaigns related to Cuba and Venezuela

 

Financial notes:

 

Roughly 25% of its donations have been linked to organizations connected to Singham since 2017.

 

  1. Global ideological research network

Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research

 

A research and publishing organization producing reports on:

 

anti-imperialism

 

sanctions policy

 

global south political movements

 

Personnel and institutional links overlap with:

 

The People’s Forum

 

international solidarity campaigns.

 

  1. Protest-organizing coalition

ANSWER Coalition

 

Large protest-organizing coalition frequently involved in demonstrations related to:

 

Palestine

 

Cuba

 

Venezuela

 

opposition to U.S. sanctions

 

It often partners with CODEPINK and The People’s Forum on national protests.

 

  1. Donor-advised funding vehicles

 

These are financial intermediaries used to route donations to nonprofits.

 

Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund

 

Has been used to route donations to activist nonprofits linked to the Singham network.

 

Donor-advised funds allow donors to:

 

contribute anonymously

 

distribute money later to nonprofits

 

  1. Philanthropic foundations involved in overlapping causes

 

Some traditional philanthropic foundations also appear in funding networks for Middle-East activism.

 

Rockefeller Brothers Fund

 

The foundation has provided millions of dollars to groups supporting the BDS movement and Palestinian advocacy organizations.

 

Some of those organizations collaborate with broader anti-sanctions or anti-war coalitions.

 

  1. Secondary donor foundations

 

Some smaller grant-making entities repeatedly appear in funding flows:

 

Examples cited in reports:

 

Justice and Education Fund

 

United Community Fund

 

Benjamin Fund

 

These foundations have distributed grants to multiple activist organizations within the same ecosystem.

 

How the network connects

 

Researchers often describe the structure like this:

 

major donors

donor-advised funds / foundations

activist institutions

(People's Forum, CODEPINK)

coalitions and protests

issue campaigns

(Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela, sanctions)

 

Because the same funding vehicles and activist hubs support multiple organizations, the same people and groups tend to appear across several different political campaigns.

 

✅ Key takeaway

 

Across many U.S. campaigns related to Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela, and sanctions, analysts often find recurring overlap around:

 

a small group of activist institutions

 

shared donor networks

 

coalition protest infrastructure

 

This overlap is common in political activism generally—organizations reuse the same networks to work on multiple foreign-policy issues.

 

If you want, I can also show something revealing:

a map of the ~20 individuals who sit on boards or leadership positions across many of these organizations (that network is even smaller than the funding network).

Researchers who look at overlapping boards, staff leadership, and organizing committees across anti-war, Cuba-solidarity, Venezuela, and Palestinian-solidarity campaigns often find that a relatively small circle of activists appears repeatedly across multiple organizations.

 

Below is a representative map of frequently recurring individuals connected to multiple groups or campaigns in that ecosystem. (This isn’t a single formal network—rather, it reflects overlapping leadership, advisory roles, and organizing work.)

# What the network looks like

 

The structure usually resembles a hub-and-spokes system where a few institutions connect many activists.

 

```id="network_map"

activist leaders

key institutions / hubs

(People's Forum, CODEPINK, ANSWER)

issue coalitions

(Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela)

protests and campaigns

```

 

A single activist may:

 

  • sit on a nonprofit board

  • speak at conferences

  • help organize protests

  • collaborate with multiple organizations.

 

This produces dense overlap in leadership across different political campaigns.

 

 

Important context:

This kind of cross-movement leadership overlap is common in political activism across the ideological spectrum. The same people often work on several related issues within their broader political worldview.

 

 

If you want, I can also show something that analysts often find even more revealing:

 

a network diagram showing how a handful of cities (especially New York, Washington DC, and San Francisco) act as the geographic hubs for most of these organizations.

### How the map works

 

  1. Global hubs (top layer): Havana and Caracas coordinate policy, conferences, and international solidarity; London and Madrid amplify European and diaspora campaigns.

  2. U.S. hubs: NYC, DC, and San Francisco house the main organizations that organize conferences, protests, and local events.

  3. Leadership network: ~20 individuals (Medea Benjamin, Brian Becker, etc.) appear repeatedly across multiple organizations and campaigns, forming the human connective tissue of the ecosystem.

  4. Media & amplification: Websites, newsletters, podcasts, and social media distribute content globally, reinforcing campaigns and coordinating messaging.

  5. Campaigns & events: These are the outputs—the rallies, delegations, conferences, and petitions executed locally and internationally.

 

 

Key insights from this integrated view

 

  • Redundancy and overlap: The same leaders, media channels, and hubs appear in multiple campaigns.

  • Centralization despite decentralization: Havana/Caracas and NYC/DC act as control points, while the ecosystem spans globally.

  • Cross-issue coordination: Cuba, Palestine, Venezuela, and sanctions activism are intertwined through shared infrastructure, leadership, and media amplification.

  • Scalability: The network can quickly mobilize international campaigns due to the tight linkage between media, hubs, and leaders.

Who is behind the answer coalition?

AI Overview

The ANSWER Coalition isn't "owned" in a traditional sense but is fiscally sponsored by the Progress Unity Fund (PUF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and has strong structural ties to the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), with its national coordinator, Brian Becker, also a PSL co-founder, leading both organizations and using ANSWER as a vehicle for PSL's political work. Major funding also comes from figures like Neville Roy Singham through PUF and other related entities, supporting ANSWER's operations and protests.

Key Relationships:

 

Fiscal Sponsor:

Progress Unity Fund (PUF) handles much of ANSWER's funding and administration.

 

Political Leadership:

Brian Becker, a PSL co-founder, serves as ANSWER's National Coordinator, linking the two closely.

Associated Groups:

Other progressive groups like March Forward! and Breakthrough Media have strong connections.

Major Funder:

Neville Roy Singham is a significant financial backer of PUF, PSL, and ANSWER.

 

Structure:

 

ANSWER Coalition acts as a broad front, with its core leadership and ideology deeply aligned with the Marxist-Leninist Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), making it essentially a key organizing arm for the party's political agenda
