People have come from all around the globe to say in unison “Free the Cuban 5!” who are innocent of all charges and need to be reunited with their families and loved ones immediately. The organizers of the 5 days for the Cuban 5 believe that this national rally at the White House will be the largest. (For more info on the Cuban 5 go to TheCuban5.org) But there are still many people in this country who do not even know who the Cuban 5 are, and it is up to us to change this which is why our outreach caravan and bike ride is important. Plus it will be a lot of fun and music! This Is a Critical Moment If President Obama can exchange five top Taliban soldiers held in Guantanamo Bay for a U.S. soldier then isn’t it time to release the remaining three members of the Cuban 5, who are regarded throughout the world as hero’s for their work to prevent terror attacks on the Cuban people. It’s been pointed out that the U.S. government could exchange Alan Gross currently held in jail in Cuba charged with smuggling illegal satellite communication equipment into Cuba as part of a USAID regime change program initiated under the Bush Administration.

What you choose to do may make the difference for the freedom of the Cuban 5. If you cannot make the caravan at Langley Park Shopping Center – please go straight to the White House for the 1 P.M. rally. Our very best – Justice for the Cuban 5! Free them now!
