A call to conscience: stop Donald Trump’s cruel assault against the cuban people
On Monday 9th, an open letter under the name "Let Cuba Live!" rejected Donald Trump´s new Executive Order that seeks to cutt off Cuba’s access to oil as an intentional attempt to induce famine and mass suffering to the cuban people.
Influential public figures, elected officials, artists, and organizations—including 22 Members of the New York City Council, Mark Ruffalo, Kal Penn, Susan Sarandon, Alice Walker, Alexa Avilés, 50501, Movement for Black Lives, The People’s Forum, IFCO Pastors for Peace, ANSWER Coalition, and many others—have already signed this powerful Call to Conscience demanding an end to Donald Trump’s cruel assault on the Cuban people.
"This policy is unconscionable. It deepens a humanitarian crisis of our own making. Cuba poses no threat to the United States. Starving a population into submission is not diplomacy; it is a form of terrorism", the letter explains.
This letter is open for everyone to sign on. Cutting off energy to an island nation is a tactic of starvation—not policy. The world calls for an end to collective punishment and manufactured humanitarian crises.
