Miami is not a monolith. Gladys Canizares left #Cuba alone at 15, sent to the U.S. through Operation Pedro Pan. Years later in Miami, she became an organizer in the hardline Cuban American lobby. Today, she's one of the loudest voices to end the embargo she once defended.

Last night outside the Cuban Embassy in Washington, DC, dozens gathered to dance salsa in solidarity with the Cuban people.

People who recently returned from Cuba shared firsthand testimonies about the impact of U.S. sanctions and about the resilience, dignity, and resistance of the Cuban people in the face of escalating pressure.

As threats against Cuba intensify, more people around the world are standing up, speaking out, and refusing to stay silent. We will continue raising our voices against these cruel policies and in defense of Cuba’s sovereignty and humanity.

🇨🇺 No War On Cuba: Stop The Trump Administration’s Military Threats On Cuba

Trump wants to start another unprovoked war. This time against Cuba. We must stop it before it starts.

The Trump Administration’s escalating threats of military aggression against Cuba come on top of over six decades of U.S. sanctions and blockade, which have strangled the island’s economy, and recent measures, including a fuel blockade over the past four months, that have pushed Cubans to a new breaking point. Trump is forcing millions of Cubans to endure endless blackouts, shortages of food and basic necessities, and growing uncertainty as U.S. threats intensify.

The U.S. government claims that “Cuba is a threat to U.S. national security,” yet these claims are part of a familiar pattern used throughout history to justify aggression and endless wars abroad. Cuba is not preparing attacks against the United States, nor does it possess the capacity to threaten U.S. security. What Cuba represents is an independent nation asserting its right to self-determination despite decades of economic punishment and political pressure.

Countless voices throughout the United States and the world have rejected Trump’s war threats against Cuba. The Cuban people have the right to live in peace!

End The Blockade, No War On Cuba, Let Cuba Live!

🚨 @WHO recognized Cuba for eliminating the transmission of HIV and syphilis from mother to child, a feat it has maintained since 2015 thanks to its universal health system and primary care, despite the hardships imposed by the US blockade and oil siege.

It was a pleasure and an honor to participate in the National Lawyer Guild Convention @NLGnews in #Detroit.
I appreciate the invitation; it was a unique opportunity to discuss the law and its role in preserving peace, among many other topics. Thank you @Suz_Adely

[Cheryl @CLaBash]

Nothing better than having Cuban representatives from the Embassy in DC visit the Detroit area. Thank you to the https://t.co/5WHNsdZplQ, Project El Pan, DSA, VB4Cuba, Swords into Plowshares Gallery and more for making this visit so impactful. #LetCubaLive #TumbaElBloqueo

[Tani @Tani_DL]

I completed a full schedule of activities in #Detroit, #Michigan. I am grateful for the warm welcome I received from our friends from #Cuba and the local authorities in that state.
I would especially like to thank our friends at the @NNOCuba

[CUBAONU @CUBAONU]

The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) adopted an emergency resolution against U.S unilateral coercive measures toward #Cuba and their effects.

The initiative underscores obligations under the @UN Charter and calls for respectful negotiations based on sovereignty and non-interference.

[Cheryl @CLaBash]

@StateDept From 1960 Mallory Memo the U.S. has punished Cuba, allowed attacks from U.S. soil, plotted and lied. It is time to roll back Helms Burton and all the extra territorial measures the U.S. uses to hamper Cuba’s development. Take Cuba #offtheSSOT and #LetCubaLive

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

Massive exposure of US hypocrisy. The Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister reveals how Washington deliberately suffocates Cuba's economy with brutal sanctions then tries to brainwash the world into blaming the Cuban government for the crisis. A masterclass in gaslighting.

[teleSUR English @telesurenglish]

Outside the courthouse in #NewYork protesters are showing their unwavering support for President #NicolasMaduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, who were abducted from #Caracas Venezuela, on January 3 and are now facing a trial that has no basis whatsoever

NEW: @RepGregoryMeeks and I are leading a bill to BLOCK Trump from using any taxpayer money to attack Cuba without prior congressional authorization.

No more forever wars. No more illegal, unconstitutional attacks.

@PPitolarga @davidrkadler Let the oil flow, stop Helms-Burton Title 3, take Cuba off the State Department State Sponsors of Terrorism list and see what happens. We saw a glimpse of what could be in 2015 when cruise ships were docking. Reparations for Cuba!

Trump can’t blockade the sun or the solidarity of millions of people around the world. I’ll be back in Cuba in a few days to stand with the Cuban people!
