Tell Congress: no new wars in Latin America!

This week, multiple major news outlets reported a deeply alarming escalation from the Trump administration.

According to The Hill, Politico, The Miami Herald, and Florida Politics, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that Cuba should be “concerned” after the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro — and openly suggested Cuba could be “next.” Fox News and international outlets echoed the message, amplifying threats that point toward possible U.S. military action in the region.

This is how wars begin.

When top U.S. officials use this kind of language, history shows that sanctions, covert operations, and military force often follow. From Cuba to Venezuela to Central America, U.S. interventions have left devastation, displacement, and humanitarian crises — while failing to deliver democracy or security.

Human rights experts and United Nations officials have long warned that U.S. sanctions and military threats primarily harm civilians — cutting off access to food, medicine, and fuel, and driving mass migration. Even congressional reports acknowledge that decades of pressure on Cuba and Venezuela have failed to produce meaningful political change.

Lawmakers can block funding, deny authorizations, and publicly shut down any move toward attacking Cuba, Venezuela, or other Latin American countries. But that window is closing fast. Major budget and foreign policy decisions are expected in the coming weeks, and once money is approved, escalation becomes much harder to stop.

The warning signs are flashing. We cannot wait until threats turn into bombs.

Sign the petition now and tell Congress: no attacks on Cuba, no new wars in Latin America, and no more U.S.-driven violence in our hemisphere. 

We’ll deliver your petitions to Congress when they return to session this week.

Thanks,
