Petitions are certainly a good thing but what we're doing specifically is joining the week of action that is leading up to the UN vote on the blockade of Cuba. This is just one of many actions taking place all over the country, including a rally and march in New York City on the 29th and a rally in DC on November 2nd. You can find a full list on the website.

And you're right, you don't have to be a socialist to support an end to the blockade! The call to action's specific demands are:

·end the blockade against Cuba ·tale Cuba off Washington's list of state sponsors of terrorism ·End all U.S. anti-Cuba economic and travel sanctions
