The Fair Play for Cuba Committee (FPCC) was an activist group set up in New York City by Robert Taber in April 1960.[1][2][3]

History

The FPCC's purpose was to provide grassroots support for the Cuban Revolution against attacks by the United States government, once Fidel Castro began openly admitting his commitment to Marxism and began the expropriation and nationalization of Cuban assets belonging to U.S. corporations. The FPCC opposed the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961, the imposition of the United States embargo against Cuba, and was sympathetic to the Cuban view during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Its members were placed under surveillance by the FBI.[4]

Subsidiary Fair Play for Cuba groups were set up throughout the United States and Canada.[5][6]

By December 1963, the Fair Play for Cuba Committee was defunct, with FBI investigations concluding in 1964.[7]
