2:30: Brief closing rally at Griggs-Midway Building parking lot.Contact 612-437-0222 for more information or if you’re joining late.We join the nationwide monthly caravans first organized by Miami-based Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) to show our love  for Cuba.

This month we’re focusing on the continuation of Cuba on the list of nations that the U.S. designates as “terrorist” and the recent FBI questioning when people visit Cuba. 
 
Come to hear speakers that have experienced FBI questioning and/or FBI raids. We need to stand up and speak out against any form of U.S. government repression against the people of Cuba and their supporters.

More than 10,000 people and 100 progressive advocacy groups have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to end the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.We are still organizing to end the US’ 60+year Blockade on Cuba:The international outcry against the U.S. intentional starvation blockade of Cuba is growing. These actions powerfully refute the claims  by anti-Cuba Senators Marco Rubio, Robert Menendez and Ted Cruz.Now in their third year, the public bike and car caravans that started in Miami, and led by Cuban-Americans, have broken up that myth.

Únase a SCOTA, el Comité Cuba de Minnesota y otros en nuestra caravana mensual contra el bloqueo estadounidense a Cuba. Encuéntrenos en el edificio Griggs-Midway (St. Paul) (estacionamiento inferior) o MÍRELO EN VIVO en la página de Facebook.Este mes nos enfocamos en la continuación de Cuba en la lista de naciones que los EE.UU. designa como “terroristas”.
Más de 10,000 personas y 100 grupos progresistas han firmado una carta abierta urgiendo al presidente Joe Biden a revertir la designación de terrorismo de la administración Trump para Cuba y restablecer la política de la era Obama para la isla.
El clamor internacional contra el bloqueo con intención de causar hambre intencionado de Estados Unidos contra Cuba es cada vez mayor. Estas acciones refutan poderosamente la afirmación estadounidense de que la campaña contra Cuba de Marco Rubio, Bob Menéndez y Ted Cruz nos representa.
Ahora en su tercer año, las caravanas públicas de bicicletas y automóviles que comenzaron en Miami y son lideradas por cubano-americanos han roto ese mito.
