All posts by Casa de las Americas

Casa de las Américas (Casa) is a New York-based organization of Cuban emigrants who support the revolution. Beginning in 1955, the July 26 Committee was established in NY for the purpose of supporting the armed struggle that was taking place in Cuba against the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Shortly after the triumph of the revolution in 1959, the Committee was renamed Casa Cuba, which later became Casa de las Américas.

FROM OUR ❤ TO CUBA

Cuba’s exemplary health service, free to all its citizens and many others through its international missions, now can’t access many medicines and supplies essential for the care, at times life saving, that its people need.

Cubans with heart conditions are dying or suffering serious symptoms because there are no heart pacemakers to implant. The most seriously ill cannot leave the hospital without a pacemaker.

Let’s raise $150,000 to send 300 heart pacemakers to Cuba. $500 will buy a heart pacemaker. Cuban surgeons will then insert it at no cost to the patient.

Act now with your tax-deductible donation!

Make checks payable to Global Health Partners, memo pacemakers, and mail to Global Health Partners, 39 Broadway, Suite 1540 New York, NY 10006

TAKE CUBA OFF THE SSOT LIST

Cuba has endured 64 years of a U.S. economic blockade. This intensified when President Trump unjustifiably put Cuba on a list of so-called State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT). President Biden has continued that listing. Companies worldwide that want to sell medicines or food to Cuba often can’t because their own bank refuses to accept Cuba’s payment under threat of enormous fines from the U.S. treasury for dealing with “terrorists.”

Tell Biden that he must, with a stroke of his pen, remove Cuba from this arbitrary list.

  • Make your opinions known to your Congressional representatives – by phone, email or best of all in person.
  • Get a resolution passed and sent to Biden, by your union branch, labor council or city council.
