Act Now to End the Embargo Against Cuba!
Pressure to end our nation's 50-year old trade embargo against Cuba is reaching a fever pitch. Over the past several months we've seen historic, unprecedented movement in the broad-based drive to normalize relations between the United States and Cuba. There's legislation currently pending in Congress that would permit travel to Cuba by all Americans. And a wide range of groups are calling for a total end to the embargo.
"This is the perfect opportunity for President Obama to distance himself from the failed policies of the past and to send a strong message to the U.S. Congress on the need to end the embargo," Amnesty International said recently. "The U.S. embargo against Cuba is immoral and should be lifted. It's preventing millions of Cubans from benefiting from vital medicines and medical equipment essential for their health."
We couldn't agree more! Over the past 15 years Disarm has donated more than $80 million worth of desperately needed medicines and medical supplies to Cuban hospitals and clinics across the island. Disarm has been a lifeline for Cuba's beleaguered public health system, which is stretched to its limits by the embargo.
Now we have the best opportunity ever to break the stranglehold the Miami exile community has held over our nation's Cuba policy. This is the moment to make your voice heard. Please call, email or write your Senators and Member of Congress urging that they support an end to the embargo.
