Our community is home to the largest Cuban exile population in the United States and the  world. We are families who fled dictatorship, political imprisonment, and economic collapse. We know that the time is now to increase pressure on the regime, cut off the lifelines that sustain it, and finally bring freedom back to the Cuban people. With the tightening of sanctions on Venezuela, reduced access to Venezuelan oil by the regime, and decisive actions by President Donald J. Trump, the dictatorship is facing unprecedented external pressure.
