🚨🇨🇺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

Broad majorities of Americans, including Cuban-Americans, support normalization...& an end to the blockade. In Palestine, Venezuela, or Cuba, Americans are ready for a foreign policy rooted in dignity, solidarity, and the right of every nation to live and govern themselves free from U.S. coercion

This executive order claims to “put America first” but the violence of this renewed Monroe Doctrine only serves to enrich Trump and the billionaire class. Broad majorities of Americans, including Cuban-Americans, support normalization, expanded travel rights, and an end to the cruel blockade.

We understand, now more than ever, that the violence and coercion the U.S. exercises abroad reflects the same policies of violence and coercion it inflicts on minorities and working people at home. Whether in Palestine, Venezuela, or Cuba, Americans are ready for a foreign policy rooted in dignity, solidarity, and the right of every nation to live and govern themselves free from U.S. coercion.

"Cuba is not a threat to the U.S. ... The real threat is to millions of people in Cuba who need fuel for vital infrastructure like electricity, refrigerating food, transportation, and hospitals. This is economic warfare, not national security."

Cuba is not a threat to the U.S. For decades, it has been a force for peace — brokering negotiations in Colombia, sending doctors to fight Ebola, and offering disaster relief across the globe. No baseless “terrorism” smears will rewrite that record. The real threat is to millions of people in Cuba who need fuel for vital infrastructure like electricity, refrigerating food, transportation, and hospitals. This is economic warfare, not national security.

📢 Over 50 elected officials, labor leaders, and solidarity organizations nationwide are calling on Biden to remove #Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, ease Trump-era sanctions, and send humanitarian aid. It’s time to act. Press release: international.dsausa.org/cuba-solidar...

A letter addressed to President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., dated December 5th, 2024. The letter opens by referencing the United Nations General Assembly's condemnation of the U.S. embargo on Cuba and highlights the humanitarian crisis faced by Cuba, exacerbated by natural disasters and U.S. sanctions. The letter urges President Biden to remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list and provide humanitarian aid. It emphasizes the need for policy reversal to rekindle diplomatic engagement. The text advocates for lifting sanctions and highlights the moral and legal implications of the ongoing embargo.

The second page of the letter continues urging President Biden to take action on Cuba, focusing on removing punitive sanctions and supporting humanitarian aid. The page is signed by a list of elected officials, including New York State Senators, NYC Council Members, and other state representatives from across the U.S. The officials are affiliated with various states, such as Minnesota, Vermont, and California, showcasing broad geographical representation.

The third page lists labor union leaders and their respective organizations who have signed the letter, including leaders from the International Union, UAW, SEIU Local 73, and others. Partner organizations, such as labor coalitions and advocacy groups, are also listed. These groups highlight support from unions and activists committed to lifting the embargo and supporting Cuba.

The final page lists partner organizations and advocacy groups supporting the letter to President Biden. These organizations include peace and justice groups, religious organizations, and various coalitions focused on U.S.-Cuba relations. The page emphasizes the collective support of diverse groups for ending the embargo and improving relations with Cuba.

NEW: Reps. Lee, McGovern, Meeks, Castro, @aoc.bsky.social, @repcasar.bsky.social, and others demand Biden act now on #Cuba. #SendAndEnd: Send aid and END Cuba’s SSOT designation. The stakes couldn’t be higher amid a U.S.-driven humanitarian crisis. bit.ly/leebidencuba...

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.

The lawmakers requested that President Biden remove the state sponsor of terror designation, expedite emergency humanitarian aid and technical assistance, issue safe harbor letters to address overcompliance with sanctions, suspend sanctions impeding aid, and facilitate energy infrastructure repair and modernization.

“Even temporary relief can save lives and permit the Cuban people a chance to insulate themselves and their families from further vulnerability. We urge your administration to act swiftly to implement these measures and mitigate the growing crisis in Cuba while advancing U.S. interests in the region,” concluded the lawmakers.
