Remove Cuba from the listof the US State Sponsors of Terrorism
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.
We are committed to supporting Cuba building a peaceful and prosperous future. We oppose intervention in Cuba by the United States. One way to support a brighter future for Cuba is for us to take action against Cuba being on the US State Sponsor of Terrorism list.
Nine days before leaving office, Trump designated Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Since 2021, Biden has kept Cuba on the terrorism list. Ironically, Cuba has been a victim of U.S. — based terrorism — not a sponsor of terrorism. There is no credible evidence to support the designation, which is aimed to devastate Cuba’s economy by cutting it off from international credit and investment. By being on the list, the resulting sanctions and international restrictions limit Cuba’s ability to purchase medicines for its population and to reboot its economy after the COVID pandemic. The Cuban people are the ones who suffer from these restrictions.
President Biden can unilaterally remove Cuba from the United States list of state sponsors of terrorism by an executive order.
CUBA OFF U.S. TERRORISM LIST!
END THE BLOCKADE OF CUBA
