Statement on Cuba (background is flag of Cuba) Top - large, bold text: Marco Rubio's new report on Cuba is nothing but instigation and warmongering Below - normal text: "Cuban Americans for Cuba" condemns the State Department's release of "Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism" as nothing more than an act of instigation and warmongering. As the US maintains over 6 decades of economic warfare through the blockade on Cuba, it seeks to justify its genocidal policy against the Cuban people with further pretext from Marco Rubio's State Department. This document is not serious policy analysis. It reads like a document assembled to confirm a predetermined conclusion rather than to inform one, thin on evidence and heavy on the kind of generic, sweeping language that raises real questions about how it was produced and who it was produced for. We would take that less seriously if the stakes were not so high. The blockade this report exists to justify has measurable human costs: shortages of medicine and basic goods, a healthcare system starved of supplies, a power grid that collapses for lack of fuel and parts the U.S. embargo keeps out of reach. These are the daily conditions of millions of Cubans, including our own families. As Cuban Americans, we reject the State Department's attempts to escalate tensions between our two homelands. Cuba poses no threat to the American people. We call for engagement and an end to the blockade that has starved our people for over 60 years.

Yes, there are widely different opinions in the Cuban-American community in the US. The encouraging thing is that anti-blockade Cubans are speaking up more now.
