Dear National Network On Cuba Members,
There are serious indications that Trump is preparing to reverse Obama’s policies toward Cuba. It is critical that we show our support for continued travel, trade, and respectful engagement with Cuba.
Please see below copy of email with suggested actions sent by Latin America Working Group (LAWG) and PLEASE TAKE ONE MINUTE RIGHT NOW to contact your members of Congress to urge them to demand continued travel and engagement with Cuba!
Take Action
1. CALL or email your members of Congress:
Tell them to take action to continue travel and engagement with Cuba, before it’s too late!
Suggested Script: “As your constituent, I want you 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 your district and allows your constituents their right to travel to Cuba, but also helps to improve the lives of the Cuban people.
As the Trump Administrations finalizes its U.S.-Cuba policy review, I urge you to contact the White House NOW and express your strong support for expanded travel to and engagement with Cuba.
The U.S. embargo on Cuba has failed to accomplish its intended goals and has instead hurt both the Cuban and the American people. As a member of Congress, you should build upon the momentum of the past two years, and pass legislation to lift the U.S. travel ban and trade embargo on Cuba.”
2. CONTACT the White House:
• Call the White House Comments line: 202-456-1111, or the Switchboard: 202-456-1414. . Email the White House from their website: https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/.
3. TWEET at the President and Congress:
4. SPREAD the word:
• Forward this email to your networks and ask them to make their voices heard too!
