THE RAIN CANCELED OUR LAST PICKET, BUT WE ARE COMING BACK STRONG IN MAY!!

We CANNOT allow the New York Times to CONTINUE to ignore the Cuban 5!!

Over 650 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
downtown and knock on their doors AGAIN!!

If the Washington Post, USA Today, The LA Times and the Daily News can cover
the Cuban 5, then so can they!!

208 West 13th Street Manhattan

More than 1,000 lesbian, gay, bi, trans (LGBT) and other activists fighting
oppression based on sex, gender and sexuality have already signed on to the
call for Rainbow Solidarity for the Cuban Five.

These U.S.-held political prisoners, in the order they appear above—Fernando
González, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernández and René
González—were jailed merely for having infi ltrated CIA-backed right-wing
terrorist commando organizations to monitor and stop attacks on Cuba from
U.S. soil.

The struggle to win their freedom has galvanized a broad united front among
those who battle oppression based on their gender expression and/or sex and
who they love. Individuals and organizations have signed on from 45
countries, from every continent and from virtually every state in the
continental U.S. For more information, visit: www.freethefiveny.org or
