SojoAction Alert - End The Blockade Against Cuba

View this email in your browser We have seen the people of Cuba plunged into a humanitarian crisis as the island experienced an earthquake amid an energy crisis caused by the ongoing pressure campaign from the United States under the Trump Administration. The nation has had a power grid failure as this natural disaster exacerbates the needs of the Cuban people. Healthcare and food were already becoming increasingly precarious, and the need for support in these areas will now be even more acute. Call on an end to the blockade in Cuba! As Christians, we are bound to care for the needy, the vulnerable, and the poor, as we ourselves would like to be cared for. In Luke 10:29, Jesus was asked, “Who is my neighbor?” and he responded with the parable of the Good Samaritan, who went out of his way to care for someone once considered an enemy. It is with this spirit that we must reset our relationship with Cuba. In this moment, we must follow the best traditions of our faith and extend our hand to Cuba in love and charity. Tell Congress to respond with love. As Christians, we ask that Congress act with the values we hold dear. Pass legislation ending Trump’s efforts to “take over” Cuba by causing a humanitarian crisis. Instead, demand that we start true diplomatic talks paired with natural disaster aid for the island while respecting the Cuban people’s right to determine their own government. We must act now to see Congress demand peace. We ask that you join us now to contact Congress and demand that they pursue peace. The policies we pass must reflect our love and care for our neighbors, as they carry real consequences for people's lives. Join me today in making your voice heard.
