Cuba is collapsing under Trump's brutal fuel blockade – and now he's saying he can do anything he wants with the country. That's illegal – and it's time leaders start calling him out. Together! Sign and share the global call urging leaders to stand united against Trump's bullying, before he goes even further: Trump just said that he can take over Cuba and "do anything I want with it". But that's illegal – and it's time for leaders to stand together and call him out publicly. Many leaders have tread lightly as Trump has threatened Mexico, toyed with taking over Greenland, and bombed schoolchildren in Iran – but he's a bully, and if leaders don't join forces and push back now, he could go even further. This moment could be a turning point: when a united Europe finally stood up to Trump, he abandoned plans to invade Greenland. Now, with further attacks looming, we can push Latin American leaders to stand together, draw a line, and fight for a collective future where international law matters and no region can be dragged back towards colonial domination. Add your name to demand that leaders in Latin America and across the world speak out together against Trump's illegal aggression towards Cuba, and each time he breaks international law – and we'll deliver our voices at a key global summit in days!

Sign and share the global call urging leaders to stand united against Trump's bullying, before he goes even further: | | | | | Dear friends, | | Trump just said that he can take over Cuba and "do anything I want with it".
But that's illegal – and it's time for leaders to stand together and call him out publicly.
Many leaders have tread lightly as Trump has threatened Mexico, toyed with taking over Greenland, and bombed schoolchildren in Iran – but he's a bully, and if leaders don't join forces and push back now, he could go even further.
This moment could be a turning point: when a united Europe finally stood up to Trump, he abandoned plans to invade Greenland. Now, with further attacks looming, we can push Latin American leaders to stand together, draw a line, and fight for a collective future where international law matters and no region can be dragged back towards colonial domination.
Add your name to demand that leaders in Latin America and across the world speak out together against Trump's illegal aggression towards Cuba, and each time he breaks international law – and we'll deliver our voices at a key global summit in days! | | | | | Trump has strangled the population of Cuba for weeks with an oil blockade – and threatened tariffs on any country that tries to send fuel. The consequences: the power grid collapsed, hospitals are struggling to function, and millions of people are being left with rotting food. Russia has delivered some fuel, but it won't last forever and things will get worse fast if the US invades.
Governments aren't allowed to cut off essential supplies to an entire population to force political change – or threaten other countries to stop them from helping.
But that's exactly what's happening – and if leaders keep responding timidly and in isolation, why would he stop? Trump just told reporters that Cuba is next after Venezuela, and he's reportedly planning attacks across Latin America.
Yet if Latin American leaders, backed by people everywhere, start speaking out together every time he crosses the line, it can shift what's possible – by building towards a unified, prosperous and independent Latin America, isolating Trump, and opening the door to alliances that can stand up to his bullying.
The future is ours to write, let's make it one where international law and human rights are respected, by everyone. Let's show that Trump cannot muzzle the entire world – and urge Latin America's leaders to fight, together, for a just and dignified future: | | | | This is exactly why our movement exists. Time and again, when powerful leaders push the world toward chaos, it's people like us — millions coming together across borders — who can help pull it back. This moment is about more than one crisis — it's about the future we're fighting for: a world where no leader is above the law, where people's lives come before power games, and where global solidarity is stronger than the bullies.
