🚨🇨🇺Call your Senators! Tell them to vote YES on Senator Kaine’s war powers act (S.J. Res 124) to prohibit Trump from using the US military to attack Cuba without provocation or authorization. Americans want normal relations with Cuba, not another war where working people die for capitalist profits

I'm in good company of elected officials & labor leaders calling on President Biden to remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Cuba isn't bombing several countries or committing a genocide. The people of Cuba don't deserve the economic suffering imposed by the U.S's Cold War politics.

U.S. Representatives Barbara Lee (CA-12), Jim McGovern (MA-2), Gregory Meeks (NY-5), and Joaquin Castro (TX-20) led their colleagues in writing a letter to President Joe Biden urging immediate sanctions relief for the Cuban people amid widespread blackouts and an escalating energy crisis, exacerbated by the impact of Hurricane Rafael.

“The situation is not only causing immense suffering for the Cuban people but also poses serious risks to U.S. national security interests,” the lawmakers wrote. “If left unaddressed, the crisis will almost certainly fuel increased migration, strain U.S. border management systems, and fully destabilize the already-strained Caribbean region.”

Since 2022, over 850,000 Cubans have sought refuge in the United States. The ongoing collapse of essential services, particularly electricity, has further exacerbated this exodus.
