February: Cuba Car Caravan -Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsored Terrorism List
SUNDAY Feb 26 AT 1 PM – 3 PM
We are rounding out our “Show Love for Cuba” month with our monthly car caravan.
-End the U.S. Blockade of Cuba
-Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism
-Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism
Join SCOTA, the Minnesota Cuba Committee and others for our monthly car caravan against the US blockade of Cuba. Meet us at South High School in Minneapolis or WATCH LIVE on this page.
This month we’re focusing on the continuation of Cuba on the list of nations that the U.S. designates as “terrorist.”
More than 10,000 people and 100 progressive advocacy groups have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to reverse the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.
The international outcry against the U.S. intentional starvation blockade of Cuba is growing. These actions powerfully refute the U.S. claim that Marco Rubio, Bob Menendez and Ted Cruz anti-Cuba campaign represents us.
Now in their third year, the public bike and car caravans that started in Miami and led by Cuban-Americans have broken up that myth. Watch this video, produced by Cuban-Americans in Miami for the September 25 caravans (in Spanish with English subtitles).
