The Venceremos Brigade (VB) is a U.S.-based solidarity organization founded in 1969 to support the Cuban Revolution and foster cultural and political exchange between the United States and Cuba. Inspired by a call from Fidel Castro, the group aimed to challenge the U.S. economic blockade and build grassroots support for Cuban socialism. Its name, "Venceremos" ("We Shall Overcome"), reflects its revolutionary spirit.

The M19 bombing of the U.S. Capitol occurred on November 7, 1983, when a bomb detonated in the north wing of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. The attack was carried out by the May 19th Communist Organization (M19), a radical left-wing group founded and led primarily by women, known for its opposition to racism, sexism, and what it perceived as U.S. imperialism under President Ronald Reagan. The explosion, which took place at 10:58 p.m., caused significant damage—estimated at $250,000 to $1 million—shattering windows, chandeliers, and furniture, and damaging a historic portrait of Daniel Webster. Fortunately, no one was injured, as the Senate had adjourned earlier, and a warning call from the "Armed Resistance Unit" (an alias for M19) minutes before the blast allowed for evacuation.

The bombing was a protest against recent U.S. military actions, including the invasion of Grenada and involvement in Lebanon. M19, formed in 1978 and named after the shared birthday of Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh, had evolved from nonviolent activism to terrorism, influenced by groups like the Weather Underground. The attack involved placing a device under a bench outside the Senate chamber, and a pre-recorded message to the media later claimed responsibility, emphasizing their anti-imperialist stance without targeting individuals directly. This was part of a broader campaign that included other bombings and armed robberies, though no fatalities resulted due to their practice of issuing warnings.

A five-year FBI investigation led to the arrest of six M19 members—Marilyn Buck, Linda Evans, Laura Whitehorn, Susan Rosenberg, Timothy Blunk, and Alan Berkman—in May 1988, with a seventh, Elizabeth Duke, remaining a fugitive.
