    *Join our monthly standout against the US embargo!*

Call for an End the U.S. Embargo & Blockade of Cuba. Demand that the US 
Lift the 243 Punitive Sanctions on Cuba. Take Cuba off the list of 
so-called State Sponsors of Terrorism.

These punitive measures harm the people of Cuba and prevent normal 
relations and exchange between the Cuban and US people.  The measures 
are outmoded and counterproductive, contributing to shortages of food, 
medicine and equipment in Cuba, blocking sources of fuel and energy to 
the Island, cutting off the Island from credit and normal financial 
transactions.  We call for normal relations with Cuba and engagement and 
dialogue, not punishment.  It is unfair, and unjust, it is not who we 
are as a people.

*LET’S CALL OUT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: *

*TAKE CUBA OFF THE SO-CALLED TERRORISTS LIST. END THE EMBARGO*

Turn out with our banners, leaflets & actions we can take to call for 
justice. It’s just one hour out of our day. For the Cuban people, US 
policy has been a lifetime sentence.

Please take a minute to RSVP so we know who can come.

*Cuba is Our Friend and Not our Enemy. Let Cuba Live! *

Yes, I'll Be There
