An open letter to the U.S. Congress

No War on Cuba. End the Embargo.

317 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

I urge you to act immediately to stop any U.S. military action against Cuba and to end the devastating embargo policies that are pushing ordinary Cubans deeper into crisis. The people of Cuba are already enduring blackouts, food shortages, water scarcity, hospital strain, and worsening hunger. These are not accidental side effects. They are the predictable results of a cruel U.S. strategy that tries to force political outcomes by making civilian life unbearable. That strategy is immoral, illegal, and dangerous. President Trump’s threat that “Cuba is next” is not harmless rhetoric. After U.S. escalations in Venezuela and Iran, any threat of military action against Cuba must be treated as a real and urgent danger. Congress cannot wait until bombs are falling to remember its constitutional responsibility. Cubans have the right to decide Cuba’s future. The United States has no right to starve, blockade, sanction, bomb, occupy, or “take” another country because Washington dislikes its government. Broad economic punishment has never brought freedom to the Cuban people. It has brought shortages, fear, instability, and suffering. The U.S. government claims to care about human rights while deliberately blocking access to fuel, food, medicine, and basic necessities. That is not democracy. That is collective punishment. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution blocking unauthorized strikes, deployments, covert operations, or military escalation against Cuba. Congress must also move to end the embargo and reject any policy of regime change, blockade, or economic strangulation. The United States should pursue diplomacy, not another catastrophic war. From Iran to Venezuela to Cuba, Congress must stop accepting false premises as excuses for intervention, sanctions, and military violence. I am asking you to: Pass a War Powers Resolution to block military action against Cuba. Reject all military, covert, and diplomatic support for regime change. End the oil embargo and broader embargo policies devastating Cuban civilians. Demand diplomacy, humanitarian relief, and respect for Cuban sovereignty. No war on Cuba. No blockade. No collective punishment. End the embargo now.
