Your voice can make a difference in ending this harmful designation and moving towards a more positive and productive relationship with Cuba.
By speaking out, you can help bring about a brighter future for the Cuban people and our two countries. Join us in our efforts to Remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List by taking action today! Together, we can create real change and make a difference.

What we do
ACERE’s mission is to channel grassroots advocacy to progressive policy changes that promote positive and respectful relations between Cuba and the United States.
We work at the grassroots level while others are engaged in advocacy efforts.
Members work inspired by their values, while others help promote the interests of the business community.
We believe that sanctions and economic blockades are not the right answers to resolve conflicts or ideological differences between countries.

Nine days before leaving office, Trump designated Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Two years later, Biden has kept Cuba on the terrorism blacklist. Ironically, Cuba has been a victim of U.S.-based terrorism — not a sponsor of terrorism. There is no credible evidence to support the designation, which is aimed to devastate Cuba’s economy by cutting it off from international credit and investment.
Communities across the Americas are increasingly facing more intense natural disasters amid the reality of climate emergency.
How do Cubans, under the burden of crushing U.S. sanctions, respond? With solidarity.
When Hurricane Ian ravaged western Cuba in September, Cubans’ first instincts were to help their neighbors. “This is the culture of our community,” hurricane survivor Virginia Miranda says. “Solidarity is our distinctive trait.”
