Please see the message that follows from LAWG:
We’re running out of time. Trump is set to announce his new Cuba policy this Friday. And we’re not expecting good news.Yet, we still have a couple of days before Trump officially turns back the clock on U.S.-Cuba relations. Yesterday, the White House disclosed that Trump hasn’t even seen or approved the final proposal yet. What’s more, earlier this morning, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Cuba policy “is still in interagency review going on today.”
We can’t trust this administration to do what’s right on its own. That’s why we must raise our voices and push back against a rollback of Obama’s Cuba policies.
We need you to ACT NOW before it’s too late. Please take 5 minutes to CALL the White House and stand up for all the progress we’ve made. (Remember: calling is by far the most effective way to get our government to pay attention to our concerns!)

Suggested script:
“I want President Trump to know that I strongly support continued U.S. engagement with Cuba. Increased travel and trade with Cuba not only benefit major industries and job creators in the United States and allows American citizens their right to travel to Cuba, but also helps to improve the lives of the Cuban people. The U.S. embargo on Cuba has failed to accomplish its intended goals and has instead hurt both the Cuban and the American people.”
It’s now or never. We’re counting on you.
With determination,
