Stop Trump's assault on Cuba

Cuba is on the brink of running out of power. That means blackouts, silent hospitals, food that spoils, and parents trying to care for children without electricity. Trump's latest executive order threatens tariffs on any country that dares to sell oil to Cuba – tightening the noose around 11 million people. After attacking Venezuela, threatening Mexico, and attempting to seize Greenland, this is part of a dangerous pattern of escalation. Add your name to help stop the strangling of a nation. Trump is strangling the entire population of Cuba. His latest "emergency" order blocks Cuba from importing the oil it needs to keep hospitals running, food refrigerated, and lights on – and threatens tariffs on any country that tries to help. The consequences are already visible. Provincial hospitals have reportedly canceled surgeries. Outpatient transfers are being suspended. International airlines are grounding flights as jet fuel runs dry. Experts warn Cuba may run out of oil at any moment. This is not happening in isolation. After Venezuela. After Greenland. Each time, the limits are tested – and the response has been hesitant. Now he is imposing collective, inhumane punishment on millions of innocent people in Cuba. Join the urgent call for governments everywhere to make clear that collective punishment cannot become the new normal. We will deliver this call to world leaders and will support allies preparing to bring humanitarian aid to the island.

SIGN NOW Dear friends, Trump is strangling the entire population of Cuba. His latest "emergency" order blocks Cuba from importing the oil it needs to keep hospitals running, food refrigerated, and lights on – and threatens tariffs on any country that tries to help. The consequences are already visible. Provincial hospitals have reportedly canceled surgeries. Outpatient transfers are being suspended. International airlines are grounding flights as jet fuel runs dry. Experts warn Cuba may run out of oil at any moment. This is not happening in isolation. After Venezuela. After Greenland. Each time, the limits are tested – and the response has been hesitant. Now he is imposing collective, inhumane punishment on millions of innocent people in Cuba. Join the urgent call for governments everywhere to make clear that collective punishment cannot become the new normal. We will deliver this call to world leaders and will support allies preparing to bring humanitarian aid to the island. Stand with Cubans: No oil blockade Some argue this is about national security or promoting democracy. But cutting off fuel to an entire population – adding to a decades-long embargo and already severe living conditions – does not create political reforms. It deepens human suffering. And this order doesn't only target Cuba. By threatening tariffs on any country that supplies oil, it seeks to silence other nations – forcing them to choose between helping civilians and protecting their own economies. Add your name now. We will deliver this call to world leaders demanding an end to the oil blockade and to threats against countries that show solidarity. Stand with Cubans: No oil blockade Our movement exists because powerful leaders sometimes go too far. When Greenland was threatened, global pressure helped push back. Today, millions of Cubans are paying the price of geopolitical brinkmanship. They are not bargaining chips – they are families, workers, elders, and children. If we don't speak now, escalation becomes the norm.
