Check Out These Adopted Resolutions!

Along with the international community, a majority of US residents support an end to the US blockade against Cuba, as well as removing Cuba from the US State Sponsors of Terrorism List. 

Every year the United Nations General Assembly votes overwhelmingly to condemn the extraterritorial US economic, commercial, and financial embargo against Cuba (The 2023 vote was 187 yes, 2 no, and 1 abstention).

112 resolutions, representing over 60 million US people, have now been passed by  U.S. City Councils, County Boards, State Legislatures, School Boards, Labor Councils, Labor Unions, Workers  and other Organizations. These resolutions have addressed:

  • -Supporting ending the U.S. embargo/blockade on Cuba 
  • -Saving Lives through scientific collaboration with Cuba on Covid-19 Pandemic
  • -Urging that Cuba be removed from the U.S. List of State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT)

Many government bodies and labor unions have passed multiple resolutions regarding Ending the Embargo, Saving Lives, and/or Removing Cuba from SSOT list. This is indicated next to the name of each. Units of government are sending letters individually signed by elected officials to the President and Congressional delegations.
