New regulations ease U.S.-Cuba travel limits

Restrictions on U.S. travel to Cuba are loosening, thanks to some recent changes by the Treasury and Commerce departments. 

The GAO, U.S. Government Accountability Office, released a report last week that details the new regulations. They include authorizing family travel under a general license rather than a specific license. The report notes that the President can authorize travel under a general license for non-family travelers, such as freelance journalists, professional researchers and full-time students.

If you believe in giving all Americans the freedom to travel to Cuba, we encourage you to sign our petition urging lawmakers to end the 50-year-old travel ban.
