Obama: Lift the Cuban Embargo

Obama: Lift the Cuban Embargo

On Monday, President Obama announced a shift in US policy on Cuba, but Latin American leaders and US members of Congress are urging him to take further steps -- to talk to the Cuban government and end the almost 50 year failed embargo.

This weekend Obama is participating in his first Americas Summit in Trinidad and Tobago. We have a unique chance to influence him with a strong international call to initiate a new constructive era of engagement with Cuba.
Add your name to the petition below -- and Avaaz members will sail a boat with the number of signatures painted on its sail in the harbour where the summit is being held this weekend.

We urge the United States government to move from isolation to constructive engagement with Cuba--initiating dialogue and lifting the embargo.
