Organizing meeting: Cuba Solidarity New York
Tuesday November 10th at 6:30pm
1199/SEIU Building, 310 West 43rd Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues, in Manhattan
The meeting will start with a political update on events in Cuba and US-Cuba relations and developments in Latin America, including the unravelling of the signed "accords" in Honduras and the signing of the agreement between Washington and the government of Colombia expanding the US military presence and intervention, and the recent ALBA Summit in Bolivia. We will also assess the visit to New York of Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, his meeting with solidarity representatives, and the latest overwhelming vote in the UN against the US emargo and threats against Cuba.
Other items on the meeting agenda will be updates on the upcoming US-Cuba-Mexico- Latin America Labor December 4-6 in Tijuana, Mexico, plans for the annual New Year’s Eve Party and Celebration initiated by Casa de las Americas which, of course, coincides with the victory of the Cuban Revolution on January 1, 1959, and progress towards calling a united, national action in Spring 2010 in Washington, DC to demand an end to the US embrago of Cuba and the lifting of all US travel restrictions to the island..
We hope to see you on Tuesday, November 10!

Protest/picket the day of the re-sentencing of the Five
Tuesday December 8th at 5pm
26 Federal Plaza, Manhattan (take the 4, 5, 6, J,M, Z to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall stop)
On June 15th, The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the case of Gerardo, Ramón, Antonio, Fernando and René, known as the Cuban 5, yet another insult on the part of Made in USA-justice. Despite the worldwide clamor in favor of the freedom of the five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters, this country‚s highest judicial body turned a „deaf ear‰ and thus the Cuban 5 remain U.S. held Political Prisoners!
Last year, a federal appeals court ordered new sentences for Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino, and Antonio Guerrero. Labañino and Guerrero had been serving life terms, and Gonzalez was sentenced to 19 years.
U.S. District Judge Lenard, who unjustly sentenced them before, will be re-sentencing Gonzalez and Labañino on Dec. 8th! Guerrero was already re-sentenced on Oct. 13th to 21 years and 10 months in jail!
These brothers should not be re-sentenced, they should be freed! There was no evidence provided to convict the Cuban 5 of conspiracy to commit espionage! They are not spies! Their only crime was fighting against terrorism in Cuba and the U.S.A.!
Join us as we demand the freedom of the Cuban 5!
