Los Angeles Teach-In: Take Cuba off the State Sponsors of Terrorism List (SSOT)! End all US economic, commercial, and financial sanctions against Cuba!

With a population of 11 million, Cuba, 90 miles from the US, exists as an independent, sovereign, and peaceful nation. Cuba exports doctors, not weapons or bombs. Yet it has been the victim of Washington’s bipartisan economic, military, and political war for 65 years. The daily cost of this brutal policy is $15 million a day! Since Cuba’s 1959 revolution, it is over $144 billion!

Along with the criminal blockade, Biden maintains 243 sanctions imposed by Trump. Especially harmful, Biden keeps Cuba on the State Department’s “State Sponsors of Terrorism” (SSOT) list. Cuba has never participated in terrorist acts. Since 1959 over 3500 Cuban civilians have been killed in terrorist attacks, planned from US territories with forces trained by US agencies.

Join us to educate and mobilize people to oppose the US criminal policies against our Cuban neighbors
