Cuba Advocacy
A letter to President Biden to remove Cuba
from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism
Dear Friends,
 
On May 9th, the Cuba Partners Network, along with the PC(USA) and 18 other religious denominations and organizations, wrote to President Biden and urged him to remove Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, allowing us all the freedom to engage in our religious activities by offering crucial assistance and aid to the Cuban people, who are suffering dire humanitarian conditions on the island.

Please share this letter with elected officials and civic leaders at every level, while also sharing your experiences with your partners as they navigate this difficult time. Tell the people who represent you in Congress that you have already urged President Biden to remove Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, and that you expect them to work to correct this injustice. Also ask for support from local and state officials in this cause.

We suggest that you:
  1. Visit https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials to find out how to email or mail
    your Senators and Representatives.
  2. Write a brief cover note about your partnership and the hardships
  3. your partner church experiences in the current U.S. – Cuba relationship.
  4. Send it to your legislators.
  5. Share the letter with your congregation so that other members can do the same. This is especially important if your congregation covers multiple congressional districts.
  6. Repeat the process with state and local officials.
  7. Raise the issue during election season. Ask candidates where they stand at town halls, fundraisers, meet and greets, and parades.
  8. Share your experiences with us at [email protected].

We are praying and working hard for an end to the embargo, the removal of Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, and better relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Only tireless effort will help, and thanks be to God that we have an endless supply of faith, hope, and strength. Thanks for taking this step with us!
 
Sincerely,
The CPN Advocacy Committee
