Cuba has been subject to a blockade lasting nearly 65 years. Enforcement has ebbed & flowed depending on which U.S. president is in power. In his first term, Trump instituted the State Sponsor of Terrorism (SSOT) designation, an illegal unilateral sanction. The SSOT continued under Biden and is still in place. It has imposed all too familiar suffering on the Cuban populace.

Cubamistad is demanding an end to the economic attacks on Cuba by taking the following actions: remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list; end the blockade; end the occupation of Guantánamo; and respect Cuba’s sovereignty.
