To Heads of State, Governments attending the 61st Session of the UN Human Rights Council, and the UN Secretary-General:

As citizens committed to international law and human dignity, we urge you to respond to the escalating humanitarian consequences of unilateral coercive measures affecting Cuba. We call on you to:
  • Publicly reject collective punishment and secondary sanctions that harm civilian populations
  • Defend lawful humanitarian and energy trade with Cuba.
  • Demand the immediate lifting of the oil blockade affecting the Cuban population and halting any intimidation against solidarity countries that are sending humanitarian aid to the Island.

Stand with Cuba: Stop the Oil Blockade
Trump is strangling the entire population of Cuba. He’s blocking the oil needed to keep hospitals running and food from spoiling. And he’s threatening any country that tries to help.

Elizabeth, 68, now cooks with firewood and charcoal. She and her neighbors wash clothes in the river. She is not alone. Analysts warn the entire country is on the brink of running out of oil.

This is not happening in isolation.

After Venezuela. After Greenland. Each time, Trump tests limits – and the global response has been hesitant. Now he’s making millions suffer in Cuba.

In five days, governments will have a critical opportunity to stand up for the Cuban people. With public statements at the UN Human Rights Council, they can reject Trump’s aggression and demand measures to ease this humanitarian emergency. Add your name now – we’ll deliver this call directly to world leaders and support allies bringing humanitarian aid to the island.
