We affirm and defend the right of the Cuban people to shape their own destiny and to freely pursue their social, economic, and cultural development. Self-determination and national sovereignty are their inalienable rights.
Organizational Goals
Change the Narrative
To build public pressure and influence U.S. public opinion in order to bring about an end to the criminal U.S. blockade of Cuba, including working against the U.S. prohibition of the sale of food and medicines to the people of Cuba, ending the travel restrictions, and promoting cultural and educational exchanges.
Change Foreign Policy
To work actively to change U.S. foreign policy toward the people of Cuba by supporting legislative initiatives and lobbying projects which call for ending the policies of hostility toward Cuba, primarily the blockade, travel restrictions, the U.S. military presence in Guantanamo, and TV and Radio Marti – which serve as yet another form of U.S. intervention in the internal affairs of Cuba.
Countering Military Action
To work to counter U.S. military threats and action against Cuba.
Promote Public Campaigns
To promote public campaigns to educate the U.S. people about the reality and achievements of the Cuban people and to counter the vicious campaign of disinformation and outright lies being perpetrated by the U.S. administration and the right-wing (including the Cuban right-wing) against Cuba.
Promote Exchange
To promote exchanges between labor organizations and activists, as well as other sectors, in the U.S. and Cuba.
International Solidarity
To promote international coalitions to help coordinate international actions in solidarity with the Cuban people.
