The Alliance For Cuba Engagement And Respect (ACERE)
Supporting the normalization of relations with Cuba
The people of Cuba have long been suffering under an economic, commercial and financial embargo by the United States that places severe and unlawful restrictions on on individuals, businesses and organizations not only in Cuba, but also in the United States, and some in all other countries. President Trump not only reversed President Obama’s move to normalize relations but further tightened sanctions against Cuba. Despite high hopes, President Biden has so far failed to bring about a substantive improvement in relations. After six decades of failed policy, it is time to demand a different path forward for the benefit of the US and Cuban peoples. If you agree, ACERE is here to help and work together.
MAIN CALL TO ACTION
Urgent Call for Action:
Remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List
ACERE is dedicated to promoting positive change in U.S.-Cuba relations. As part of our efforts, we have launched an advocacy campaign to Remove Cuba from the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism List. This unfounded designation has been in place for too long and has hurt the Cuban people and marred U.S. standing in the region.
At ACERE, we believe in the power of collective action to create change. That is why we ask you to Take Action by clicking on all the links and sending messages to President Biden and your members of Congress. 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 the two countries. Join us in our efforts to Remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List by taking action today!

We are engaged in advocacy efforts to change US policy toward Cuba.
The alliance maintains a robust network of organizations engaged in advocacy, education, organizing, community building, mass mobilization and communications.
Some members are inspired by their values of faith, while others help promote the interests of the business community.
The alliance advocates in Washington D.C. to normalize relations between the U.S. and Cuba and shares opportunities with our members to promote for better relations.
We believe that sanctions and embargoes are not the right answers to resolve conflicts or ideological differences between countries.
All members of ACERE believe that engagement and respect for Cuba's sovereignty—rather than outdated restrictions and aggressive rhetoric—are the best way to promote constructive relations between the U.S. and Cuba.
