Over the last five months, the Trump administration has pushed Cuba deeper into a humanitarian catastrophe while openly floating the possibility of regime change and military action.
In January, Trump declared Cuba an “extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security and signed an executive order threatening tariffs and penalties against countries that supply oil to the island. Since then, the administration has pressured and blocked fuel shipments from countries like Venezuela and Mexico, effectively imposing an energy blockade on Cuba. The consequences have been devastating.
Hospitals, schools, public transportation systems, water infrastructure, and the electrical grid have all been pushed to the brink. Entire cities have faced blackouts lasting more than 20 hours a day. Fuel shortages have disrupted surgeries, food distribution, garbage collection, and emergency services. The U.S. is committing an economic assault on the basic infrastructure of Cuba and inflicting collective punishment. This is a manufactured humanitarian crisis, all to destabilize Cuba, as Trump said, he wants the country to be available for ‘taking’.
Congress cannot remain silent while the administration manufactures a humanitarian crisis and threatens military action.
We call on Members of Congress to:
- Oppose any unauthorized military action against Cuba.
- Block funding for escalation, intervention, or regime-change operations.
- Push to end sanctions and fuel restrictions that are collectively punishing the Cuban people.
- Demand diplomacy, humanitarian relief, and respect for Cuban sovereignty.
Use this tool to automatically email your Members of Congress and tell them no war, no blockade, and no collective punishment against Cuba.
Dear Representative/Senator,
I am writing to urge you to oppose the Trump administration’s dangerous escalation against Cuba.
Over the last several months, the administration has tightened sanctions and fuel restrictions that are worsening blackouts, shortages, and humanitarian suffering for the Cuban people. At the same time, Trump has openly threatened Cuba’s sovereignty and floated the possibility of U.S. intervention.
We have already seen this playbook in countries like Venezuela and Iran: economic warfare, destabilization, collective punishment, and endless escalation that civilians ultimately pay the price for.
Congress cannot stay silent while the administration manufactures yet another humanitarian crisis and pushes the U.S. closer to another disastrous conflict.
I urge you to:
- Oppose any unauthorized military action against Cuba and force votes on war powers resolutions
- Reject funding for escalation or regime-change operations
- Push to end sanctions and restrictions harming Cuban civilians
- Demand diplomacy, humanitarian relief, and respect for Cuban sovereignty.
The Cuban people should not suffer because of reckless U.S. foreign policy. I urge you to act immediately.
