From Our Hearts to Cuban Hearts: Send Pacemakers to Cuba, Remove Cuba from SSOT List, Defend Cuba’s Medical Brigades.
Dear Cuba Supporter:
What would you do if your relative, co-worker, or friend had a heart condition and couldn’t get the needed pacemaker? This is the dire situation of thousands of our Cuban friends, whose outstanding free healthcare system is under attack by U.S. policy, including undermining Cuba’s ability to purchase heart pacemakers.
FIRST, take immediate collective action. Join the Saving Lives Pacemakers Campaign to raise at least $150,000 to purchase and send to Cuba at least 150 pacemakers. Working with Global Health Partners, in 2024 we sent over 300 pacemakers to Cuba. Let’s now send 150 more.
Please make a donation today to the pacemaker appeal and reach out to your networks to urge them to do the same.
- Make checks payable to Global Health Partners with the memo “pacemakers” and mail to: Global Health Partners, 39 Broadway, Suite 1540 New York, NY 10006.
- For debit & credit card payments, visit the GHP website or go directly to the Payment Page
SECOND, campaign to tear down the U.S. blockade of Cuba and to take Cuba off the U.S. list of “State Sponsors of Terrorism” (SSOT). President Trump’s totally unjustified placement of Cuba on this list means that financial institutions refuse to handle Cuban transactions of any kind, including money transfers, payment to venders, etc. The SSOT severely hampers Cuba’s ability to receive regular shipments of fuel, food, and medical supplies.
Now Republicans in Congress want to turn the screws even further by introducing a House bill HR 450 – known as the Force Act – to take away the ability of a future U.S. president to remove Cuba from the SSOT.
Make your opinions known to your congressional representatives – by phone, email or, best of all, in person. Go to https://actionnetwork.org/letters/notforce/
Trump is now threatening sanctions against countries who have Cuban international medical brigades working, unless they expel the Cubans based on baseless claims that the brigades are a form of human trafficking. Cuban medical personnel are the backbone of many countries healthcare systems and have saved countless lives. During COVID, Cuba sent 3,875 Cuban medical workers in 52 brigades to 46 countries, including even Italy.

Cuba Calls for Urgent Mobilization of the International Community to Halt Zionist Military Escalation and a Direct U.S. Aggression Against Iran
Declaration by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
The Government of Cuba reiterates its deep concern and warns of the imminent risk of an intensification of the war by Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the threat of direct aggression by the United States, and the danger that the conflict could become nuclear or cause radioactive leaks with disastrous and devastating consequences for humanity.
We call on the American people and the international community to demand the immediate cessation of military aggression against Iran, now entering its seventh day, and to oppose the potential involvement of the U.S. government. Its financial, political, and military support for Israel—along with threatening statements and the recent deployment of war assets to the region—acts as a destabilizing factor and represents a dangerous escalation of the conflict.
Cuba reaffirms its full solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran and recalls the disastrous consequences of previous military interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, which left behind a trail of chaos, violence, and insecurity in those countries and their surrounding regions.
We urgently call for the pursuit of peace through dialogue and negotiations without preconditions or coercion.
Cuba stands with Palestine
The Cuban and Palestinian people share a common struggle against colonialism and imperialism, and for self-determination and dignity.
Cuba has faced a 63-year-long brutal blockade by the US government to strangle its economy and “bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.”
Palestine has suffered 75 years of ethnic cleansing, occupation, and genocide.
For more than six decades Cuba has stood with Palestine both in words and actions.
Less than six months after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Che Guevara visited Al-Bureij refugee camp in Gaza and saw the devastation of the Nakba first-hand, promising to denounce the oppression “before all of humanity.”
