PART OF THE CAMPAIGN TO TAKE CUBA OFF THE US STATE SPONSORS OF TERRORISM LIST.\
Call-in days from Feb. 13-15 – messages for President Biden and Senators Klobuchar and Smith
We will provide phone numbers and scripts closer to the dates of the call in days. You can find this information on this Facebook post.
Background information:
SCOTA is committed to support 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 to take action against Cuba being on the US State Sponsors of Terrorism list.
Nine days before leaving office, Trump designated Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Two years later, Biden has kept Cuba on the terrorism blacklist. 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. We can urge Senators Klobuchar and Smith and our congressional delegation to advocate with President Biden to remove Cuba from the list. Most importantly we must demand that President Biden remove Cuba from this list.
Please join SCOTA campaign to take Cuba off the list and support the Cuban people. Our campaign will take place in February to show the love of Minnesotans for the Cuban people.
