Canadian churches, labour organizations, and civil society groups call on the Government of Canada to reject U.S. actions endangering the life of people in Cuba, and to expedite delivery of fuel with other life-sustaining aid.
Today, an ad of a public statement was published in the Hill Times calling on the Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Government of Canada to:
• Publicly oppose and work to stop a U.S. military intervention in Cuba
• Speak out forcefully against unlawful and coercive U.S. measures to withhold fuel and starve the Cuban people
• Work more determinedly with the United Nations and with other countries to deliver fuel and other life-sustaining supplies to Cuba without delay
In addition to The United Church of Canada, signatories to the Hill Times advertisement include Canadian unions, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, the Council of Canadians, KAIROS, Presbyterian World Service and Development, the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the Anglican Church of Canada, Alongside Hope, the World Association for Christian Communication, Common Frontiers, and the Americas Policy Group.
We hold in prayer the Cuban people affected by the ongoing crisis and call for peace, justice, and humanitarian support.
