This week we were outside the U.S. Capitol for CPAC Cuba Libre, the first rally since Pelosi locked up the People’s House after January 6th. Together with Bienvenido US, Republican National Hispanic Assembly, Tea Party Patriots and members of Congress we demanded action NOW from the Biden administration to support the Cuban cause of freedom.

We thank everyone who spoke against communism and called for action at CPAC Cuba Libre:















- Leader Kevin McCarthy
- Sen. Rick Scott
- Marta Beatriz, Cuban dissident
- Santiago Avila, Republican National Hispanic Assembly
- Rep. Nicole Malliotakis
- Abraham Enriquez, Bienvenido
- Jenny Beth Martin, Tea Party Patriots
- FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr
- Rep. Mark Green
- Rep. Pat Fallon









- Sen. Ted Cruz
- Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart
- Rep. Elise Stefanik
- Rep. Roger Williams
- Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar
- Rep. Alex Mooney
- Gordon Chang, ACU Board Member
- Pastor Mario Felix Lleonart Barroso, Cuban dissident
- Rep. Carlos Gimenez
- Morgan Zegers, Young Americans Against Socialism















For too long, the Left has ignored the failures of communism. Communism fails in every country where it is tried -- and for good reason. The dangerous ideology is wrong about economics and human nature. The food shortages, healthcare crisis, and the repressions from the government in Cuba are all a consequence of the communist system there.

At the ACU, we stand for individual liberty and for the free market. These are both absent in Cuba, but the protesters in Cuba are rising up to tell their government, "Enough!" We are united with those protesters in spirit, and we have a responsibility as concerned Americans to make sure our U.S. government stands for freedom. Now is not the time to appease the communist government in Cuba.

Here's a look at everything we accomplished this past week at ACU:
