| EMERGENCY SUPPORT FOR CUBA |
| We cannot sit by and watch the wanton cruelty enveloping the world |
| Our work in Cuba and an appeal for your support Two events demand urgent response from conscious people As of May 2026, President Trump has escalated pressure on Cuba via Executive Order 14404, imposing major sanctions targeting the military-run conglomerate GAESA, the energy sector, and foreign firms. These “secondary sanctions” empower the US to penalize non-American companies and banks, specifically targeting Cuba’s mining, financial, and security sectors. The impact is to further strangle the Cuban economy as more trading partners are intimidated and pull out of the country Second, credible reports of military escalation and war preparedness accompanying by Rubio and Trump’s bellicose threats indicate a serious possibility of attack on the Cuban people we are asking all people of conscious to stay alert and act to prevent a catastrophe |
