As President Biden’s term comes to a close, the stakes for U.S. foreign policy have never been higher. With a Donald Trump White House approaching and Senator Marco Rubio poised to become our next Secretary of State, a continued legacy of violence and imperialism awaits. Rubio’s foreign policy is callous, reckless, and devoid of diplomacy. We know what this kind of approach means for Cuba, Palestine and beyond. We must act before it's too late.
In Latin America, U.S. or U.S.-backed coups and sanctions have impoverished communities and torn families apart. In Palestine, U.S.-backed genocide and occupation have been fatal for countless families and communities. These policies don’t just sow violence and suffering, they perpetuate a cycle of devastation that impacts millions. Bold action is urgently needed to break this cycle. President Biden still has the opportunity to act before his term ends. The least he can do to counter his legacy as “Genocider in Chief” is to put up the safeguards now to prevent further devastation and set the course towards peace and accountability.
ACT NOW: Sign the petition below to add your name to our list of demands for Biden in the remainder of his term. Once the signature goal is reached, we’ll mail the petition straight to the White House!
We, the undersigned, are calling on you to meet the demands listed below before your term as president ends. With a Donald Trump White House approaching and Senator Marco Rubio poised to become our next Secretary of State, we are concerned that a continued legacy of violence and imperialism awaits. Rubio’s foreign policy is callous, reckless, and devoid of diplomacy. We know what this kind of approach means for Cuba, Palestine and beyond. You must act before it's too late.
In Latin America, U.S. or U.S.-backed coups and sanctions have impoverished communities and torn families apart. In Palestine, U.S.-backed genocide and occupation have been fatal for countless families and communities. These policies don’t just sow violence and suffering, they perpetuate a cycle of devastation that impacts millions. Your bold action is urgently needed to break this cycle.
We urge you to meet these demands before your term ends:
- Remove Cuba from the State Sponsor of Terrorism list and lift sanctions that have economically crippled Cuba and infringed on the the daily lives of millions of Cubans.
- Enforce the Leahy Law to prevent U.S. arms from being sent to Israel to commit human rights violations, and impose a complete arms embargo on Israel. Reach a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and ensure aid reaches the millions of people starving in Gaza.
- Re-engage with Iran diplomacy and lift sanctions on Iran to reduce the risk of further escalation in the region.
- Increase diplomacy with China by cooperating on climate change efforts. This would set a necessary international precedent to save our planet as well as nurture the U.S.’s relationship with China.
- End weapons to Ukraine and push for a diplomatic solution to the war.
President Biden, you still have the opportunity to act before your term ends. Put up the safeguards now to prevent further devastation and set the course towards peace and accountability or risk being cemented in history as the U.S. “Genocider in Chief.”
