Promoting human rights in Cuba

Promote awareness of Cubas growing community of democracy activists, those laboring peacefully for a democratic opening, and respect for human rights. Connect Cubans to each other and to the outside world and support them becoming more informed citizens.

The program will help them overcome the absence of free press, the lack of internet infrastructure, and the high cost of internal and external communications. The activity supports interaction among Cubans around social, cultural, and civic themes.

By building citizens familiarity with civic participation, the activity creates awareness of what citizens can do to improve their local communities and hold public officials accountable, as well as help Cubans and civil society groups find ways to discuss everyday problems and propose ways to solve them.
