Rally Against the U.S. Blockade of Cuba

Posted April 18th, 2024

Date: Sunday, May 26

Time: 1:00 – 2:00 pm

Location: River & Osborne

Join us for our monthly Rally Against the U.S. Blockade of Cuba. Rallies and Car Caravans have been ongoing across North America as well as in other countries since March 2021, on the last Sunday of the month. Started by Cubans in Miami, Puentes de Amor or Bridges of Love, calls for the ending of the 62-year old Blockade which continues to cause major damage to the Cuban economy. We also call on Biden to take Cuba off the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism which Trump put Cuba on at the end of his term in office.
