Remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism List

advocacy

Welcome to the ACERE Advocacy Toolkit section. Our goal is to raise awareness about the unjust and harmful effects of the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism designation on the Cuban people and our relationship with their country.

This designation has been in place for too long and has had a cruel and harmful impact on the Cuban people and citizens, organizations and businesses from other nations’ rights to travel to, send humanitarian aid to, and trade with Cuba.

Through this platform, you can take action by sending messages to President Trump and 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.

We believe in the power of collective action and by speaking out, you can help change decades of harmful U.S. policy towards Cuba. Join us in our efforts to remove Cuba from the SSOT list by taking action today!
