STAND IN SOLDARITY WITH CUBA !
ALL OUT FOR THE CUBAN FIVE!

· Get on the bus to go to Washington , D.C. Saturday September
23 to support the Cuban Five.

· Rally at Times Square and march to the United Nations in New
York City, Tuesday, Sept. 12

In a matter of days, over 1,000 individuals and organizations signed on
to a call from the International Action Center to demand that the U.S.
government keep its hands off Cuba in light of an escalation of tensions
emanating from Washington. And over 25,000 emails were sent to elected
officials on the subject of Cuba .

In addition, the call stated its wholehearted support for the case of
the Cuban Five anti-terrorists who are in federal prisons throughout the
United States .

On August 9, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on the case of the
Five on the issue of a change of venue. It ruled against the five and
denied a new trial or a change in venue.

The legal struggle is far from over however as there are still nine
legal issues for the court to consider. The attorneys for the five will
be meeting soon to discuss strategy and the next steps which may include
taking the case to the Supreme Court.

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON

The most important thing that supporters can do at this critical time
for Cuba and the Cuban Five is to keep the pressure on. From September
thru October there are major events taking place in support of the Five
around the world.

Here in the U.S. a major event called by the National Committee to Free
the Five is being organized in D.C. for Saturday, September 23. The
event includes a major forum with prominent speakers. A march will also
take place on the 23rd.

We are urging everyone to get on the bus and go to D.C. for that march
and forum. Please visit the websites at the end for more information on
these events.

A bus will be leaving from the offices of the International Action
Center on Sept. 23. For more information, call 212.633.6646.

And before that, here in New York City an important event will take
place on the case of the Five that we are also calling on everyone to
support.
