As the Trump Administration continues policies to strangle the Cuban economy, a number of bills have been introduced in the House and Senate to stop the US from military action against Cuba and to finally end the US embargo of Cuba.  Our goal is to get our legislators to support these bills to show they don’t support the current genocidal policies.

Let’s get as many legislators as possible on record supporting a future of mutual benefit.

For Senators:

“My name is [YOUR NAME] from [YOUR CITY]. I’m calling to urge [Senator NAME] to vote YES on Sen. Kaine’s War Powers Resolution — that is, S.J.Res.124 — to stop the United States from going to war with Cuba. Congress must reassert its constitutional power over military action. Additionally, I urge the senator to support Sen. Wyden’s bill, S.136, to lift the trade embargo on Cuba. Thank you.”

For Representatives:

“My name is [YOUR NAME] from [YOUR CITY]. I’m calling to urge [Representative NAME] to vote YES on Rep. Velázquez’s War Powers Resolution — that is, H.J.Res.153 — to stop the United States from going to war with Cuba. I also urge the representative to co-sponsor Rep. Jayapal’s resolution, H.R. 8103, to prevent the use of funds for military action against Cuba. Congress must reassert its constitutional power over military action. Finally, I want to ask the representative to support Rep. McGovern’s bill, H.R.7521, to lift the trade embargo on Cuba. Thank you.”
