SUMMARY:Senator Klobuchar: Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism List!
DESCRIPTION:DEMAND! Senator Klobuchar: Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism List!\n\n\nProtest at Klobuchar’s office!\nThursday\, April 18\, 2024\, 4:00 PM to 5:00 pm\, 1200 Washington Avenue South Minneapolis\, MN 55415\n\n\n\nWe are gathering at Senator Amy Klobuchar’s office to call on her to advocate with President Biden to take Cuba off the list of U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism list.\nThis listing and sanctions on Cubans causes pain and suffering to the Cuban people. We need to normalize relations with our neighboring country.\n>>>>Join us to deliver petitions to Senator Klobuchar’s office.<<<<\nThe United States under Trump put Cuba on a list of few countries that are designated as State Sponsors of Terrorism. This was after the Obama administration took Cuba off the list because it did not meet the criteria and was an impediment to diplomatic normalization.\nThe list is used as a way for the US to punish countries that it is in conflict with. Cuba was put on the list by Trump without providing any reasonable justification for doing this.\nThis designation has harmed the people of Cuba by international financial restrictions that prevent it from rebooting its economy especially after the pandemic\, Biden has continued this policy\, but he can remove Cuba from the list by a stroke of his pen via an Executive Order.\nInitiated by: Solidarity Committee on the Americas (SCOTA)\, Minnesota Cuba Committee\, Witness for Peace Solidarity Collective \n\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:September Cuba Car Caravan
DESCRIPTION:September Cuba Car Caravan\n\nEnd the U.S. Blockade of Cuba! (Poner fin al bloqueo estadounidense de Cuba)\nTake Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism! (Sacar a Cuba de la lista de Estados Patrocinadores del Terrorismo de EE.UU)\n\n\nSunday\, September 24\, 2023\, Gather at 1:00 pm\nGriggs-Midway Building in St. Paul\, MN1821 University Ave W\, St Paul\, MN 55104(gather in the parking lot)\nCar caravan details:\n1:00 pm: Line up and add signs and flags to cars at Griggs-Midway.

See QR code.\n2:30: Brief closing rally at Griggs-Midway Building parking lot.Contact 612-437-0222 for more information or if you’re joining late.We join the nationwide monthly caravans first organized by Miami-based Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) to show our love  for Cuba. \nThis month we’re focusing on the continuation of Cuba on the list of nations that the U.S. designates as “terrorist” and the recent FBI questioning when people visit Cuba. \n \nCome to hear speakers that have experienced FBI questioning and/or FBI raids. We need to stand up and speak out against any form of U.S. government repression against the people of Cuba and their supporters.\nMore than 10\,000 people and 100 progressive advocacy groups have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to end the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.We are still organizing to end the US’ 60+year Blockade on Cuba:The international outcry against the U.S. intentional starvation blockade of Cuba is growing. These actions powerfully refute the claims  by anti-Cuba Senators Marco Rubio\, Robert Menendez and Ted Cruz.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.\n \n—————————–\nÚnase a SCOTA\, el Comité Cuba de Minnesota y otros en nuestra caravana mensual contra el bloqueo estadounidense a Cuba. Encuéntrenos en el edificio Griggs-Midway (St. Paul) (estacionamiento inferior) o MÍRELO EN VIVO en la página de Facebook.Este mes nos enfocamos en la continuación de Cuba en la lista de naciones que los EE.UU. designa como “terroristas”.\nMás de 10\,000 personas y 100 grupos progresistas han firmado una carta abierta urgiendo al presidente Joe Biden a revertir la designación de terrorismo de la administración Trump para Cuba y restablecer la política de la era Obama para la isla.\nEl clamor internacional contra el bloqueo con intención de causar hambre intencionado de Estados Unidos contra Cuba es cada vez mayor. Estas acciones refutan poderosamente la afirmación estadounidense de que la campaña contra Cuba de Marco Rubio\, Bob Menéndez y Ted Cruz nos representa.\nAhora en su tercer año\, las caravanas públicas de bicicletas y automóviles que comenzaron en Miami y son lideradas por cubano-americanos han roto ese mito.\nInitiated by: Solidarity Committee on the Americas & the MN Cuba Committee\nFacebook event and watch live if one can’t make it to the caravan: September Cuba Car Caravan (Griggs-Midway Building in St. Paul)!\n\n\n	Related
