Ten years ago, President Obama opened a hopeful new chapter in US-Cuba relations by taking the first steps toward normalization. People in both countries were optimistic that Cuba and the United States could become neighbors rather than Cold War enemies. However, Trump dismantled that policy, imposing pain and suffering on the Cuban people. As a consequence, Cuba is currently experiencing a nationwide blackout, exacerbated by the cruel sixty-year-long U.S. embargo. This embargo has prevented the country from purchasing fuel, accessing essential goods, and obtaining spare parts for its power grid—leaving millions of people in the dark.

This devastating blackout is just one aspect of the United States’ legacy of facilitating suffering on the island through the embargo. Trump’s brutal policy should be reversed. It’s not too late to do the right thing. You can change this reality with a simple signature. It’s time to act. Let Cuba Live!
