Before you plan that trip to Cuba: will the US government let you go?

By Dara Lind and Anand Katakam

The Obama administration announced today that, as part of its huge new deal with Cuba, it's relaxing travel restrictions on Americans who want to visit. We know what your next question is, and we've answered it:

cuba travel

Sorry, beach bums.

Our goal this month

Now is not the time for paywalls. Now is the time to point out what’s hidden in plain sight (for instance, the hundreds of election deniers on ballots across the country), clearly explain the answers to voters’ questions, and give people the tools they need to be active participants in America’s democracy. Reader gifts help keep our well-sourced, research-driven explanatory journalism free for everyone. By the end of September, we’re aiming to add 5,000 new financial contributors to our community of Vox supporters. Will you help us reach our goal by making a gift today?
