bus to go to Washington DC for the July 25 action to greet brother Carlos Lazo
Dear NY-NJ Cuba Si Activists and Supporters:
Thanks to the initiative of brothers Carlito R and John M we are securing a bus to go to Washington DC for the July 25 action to greet brother Carlos Lazo and the Cuban-American Bridges of Love Caravan movement in their walk from Miami against the blockade.
With the new post-July 11 situation and the mobilizations and threats from right-wing pro-US intervention Cuban-American forces with a perceived momentum from the anti-Cuba policies of the Biden Administration, this DC action, and other Caravans taking place on 7-25, is our first national response to this new round and wave of US anti-Cuba aggression. (Our sister Nancy Cabrero from Casa de las Americas and Cuba Si will be one of the co-chairs for this historic action.)
Additionally we are taking security extremely seriously and a preparing the necessary physical and political defense of our right to hold a peaceful, legal demonstration. We have all the necessary permits but we do expect a sizable right-wing presence with their usual aggressive provocations and so on. A SIZABLE CONTINGENT FROM NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY TO ADD INDIVIDUALS TO THE SECURITY TEAM WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT.
The bus will either be a 49 or 56 seater and will leave from a central location in Harlem or Washington Heights early Sunday morning. We will finalize details at our Wednesday Cuba Si meeting, the invitation for which is below. The cost will be $20-40 per person depending on donations we can raise to subsidize folks with less funds. The challenge now is to fill the bus. Please respond to this email ASAP to reserve a place so we can compile a reliable list.
DOWN WITH THE BLOCKADE!
JOIN US IN DC JULY 25!
in solidarity,
Ike Nahem

Dear friends,
We are touched to see, once again, that we have so many good friends here. The work you have done over these years has been particularly important and helpful. You know very well what these expressions of solidarity mean for a country like Cuba, a small, blocked and rebel Island, that continues and will continue to withstand.
The strong support we have always received from the worthy sons of this country, who are increasingly demanding the unconditional lifting of the blockade and the normal relations between the two nations, have been fundamental.
We have followed with close attention the discussions in the panels and workshops held at the Conference.
Highly sensitive issues have been addressed, such as Cuba’s role in the liberation of Africa; democracy in Cuba; the racial theme; and the empowerment of women; as well as problems directly linked to the current state of relations between Cuba and the United States, like the return of the territory illegally occupied in Guantánamo and the fight against the blockade, among other aspects.
