Danny Valdés reported that Stripe closed the account of Cuban Americans for Cuba, Inc., a U.S. organization that works politically to end the blockade against Cuba.

According to the message received by the organization, Stripe decided to close the account due to alleged "exposure to prohibited jurisdictions," including Cuba, because of restrictions from regulators and financial partners.

The case illustrates how the blockade not only affects foreign companies or Cuban institutions: it also punishes, within the United States, those who legally organize to defend an end to that policy.

Financial persecution operates as economic censorship: if a platform can cancel services due to political or solidarity-based ties with Cuba, it limits the ability to raise funds, organize campaigns, and sustain support networks.
