Purpose
Despite the US reversion to pre-Obama era restrictions on Cuban travel, our professional delegations continue to be included in one of the categories for legal travel to Cuba. The Building Relations with Cuban Labor movement has four achievable goals. First, is to bring awareness to the economic and social situation in Cuba. Second, is to eliminate the economic blockade that the United States government has imposed upon Cuba. Third, is to close the US military base in Guantanamo Bay and return the land to Cuba. Fourth, is to protect the right of US and Cuban citizens to travel to and from Cuba the same as the other Caribbean countries.
