CUBAN 5 SOLIDARITY WEEK

The Popular Education Project to Free the Cuban 5

In solidarity with the April 29th-30th International Youth Conference
in Cuba for the Cuban 5, The Popular Education Project to Free the
Cuban 5 has designated the week of Monday April 23rd through Friday
April 28th as "Cuban5 Solidarity Week."

We may not be able to attend the conference in Cuba, but there is
still a lot we can do here to free the Cuban 5!! GET ACTIVE IN THE
MOVEMENT TO FREE THE CUBAN 5!!

We call on all people who support the freedom of the Cuban 5 to
participate in the following calendar of events and actions for the
Cuban 5:

1. MONDAY APRIL 23RD NATIONAL CALL IN DAY FOR THE CUBAN 5!!

Since September 2006, The New York Times has ignored the People's
demand to publish an article on the Cuban 5!! We have faxed, called
in, picketed and mailed letters for SIX MONTHS without a return
telephone call or email!!

WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED!! WE WILL BREAK THE MEDIA BLOCKADE!! WE MUST
CONTINUE TO DEMAND UNTIL WE ARE HEARD!!

We are calling on all supporters of justice and peace to join our
Call in day!! We want people to call the New York Times at 212-556-
1234 and ask to speak to Suzanne Daley, National News Editor of The
New York Times!! Let her know that as a concerned citizen you think
the New York Times should publish an article on the Cuban 5.

Remind her The Daily News, The Washington Post, and L.A. Times have
covered this issue!! Tell the New York Times they should contact The
Popular Education Project to Free the Cuban 5 at 718-601-4751 for an
interview and additional information/contacts on the Cuban 5!!

CALL IN AND FLOOD THEIR PHONE LINES!!

2. WEDNESDAY APRIL 25TH, 2007 AT 5PM PICKET THE NEW YORK TIMES!!

The New York Times Building 229 West 43rd St. (btwn. Broadway and 8th
Ave.) We CANNOT allow the New York Times to CONTINUE to ignore the
Cuban 5!! Over 600 people have signed petitions and sent letters
demanding that the New York Times publish an article on the Cuban 5,
yet we have seen nothing!! We have picketed and protested and have
been ignored!!

It is time to go back down-town and knock on their doors AGAIN!! WE
WILL NOT REST UNTIL WE SEE AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED ON THE CUBAN 5!! If
the Washington Post, USA Today, The LA Times and the Daily News can
cover the Cuban 5, then so can they!! BRING YOUR FLAGS, PLACARDS AND
NOISEMAKERS!!
