PICKET at American Library Association
Convention to counter Slander of Cuban Libraries An outfit calling itself "Friends of Cuban Libraries" will take its slander campaign against Cuban libraries to the American Library Association (ALA) conference this weekend in Washington, DC. The group will picket the opening of the ALA to protest the inclusion of two Cuban documentaries, "The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” and "Salud! What Puts Cuba on the Map in the Quest for Global Health Care," during a Human Rights Festival held by The Princeton Public Library. The library's director is Leslie Burger who is also the current president of ALA. On June 23rd the No War On Cuba Movement coalition and other community members who support freedom of information and honest reporting will be counter protesting against the campaign by Friends of Cuban Libraries to slander the Cuban revolution.

3-18-2006 Again! - Demonstrators say "NO!" to Provocations against Cuba! We got a notice that three right wing Cuban groups called for a big protest at the Cuban Interests Section in DC and around the world on the 3rd anniversary of the 2003 arrests of the so-called Cuban dissidents, who Cuba jailed as paid agents of the US government. In spite of shortness of time, and other major pre-scheduled events, we mustered over 60 people in a few hours and these three right wing groups with all their apparent bluster and financial backing, brought out a total of 8 people! Again we kept them from both the front of the Consulate and the Interests Section! No War on Cuba along with Alliance for Global Justice, A-APRP, Pan-African Roots, Pastors for Peace, and other organizations and individuals successfully said "NO!"again to the latest provocations against Cuba. This appears to be part of an escalation of the US government's effort to build up to its intended launching of new offensives against Cuba! 2-25-2006 A
CALL TO ACTION! [The Provocation...] On Saturday, February 25, a group named The Cuban Memorial Committee (CMC) called a protest at 11am in front of the Cuban Interests Section in Washington DC, regarding what they allege to be human rights abuses in Cuba. They planed to deliver a letter at the entrance of the Interests Section that would contain the names of "victims." We suspect this and other recent provocations are acts of desperation in view of the fact that the extremist anti-Cuban right wing community will soon loose their most loyal support; The federal and state administrations of the Bush's. Jeb Bush's term will be over in a few months and his little-big brother in the White House will be fairly close behind him. Right-wing extremist Cuban-Americans are desperate to make the US government "deal with Castro" now before they are looking at a less accommodating administration. Report: The turnout of the right-wing CMC for this demonstration was at most 12! We had well over 90 during the day and blocked them from both the Cuban Interest Section and the Consulate. Those of us who support normalized and just relations with our neighbors, showed that support for relations of respect with Cuba is greater than their backward desires to destabilize our innocent neighbor. After the Demonstration, the CMC had to resort to lies to hide their poor performance. We know how successful our event was and how we conducted ourselves, but check out this example of how the right wing lies to themselves: Writing on the web site of the CMC, they declared that in order to deliver their petition to the Cuban Interest Section:
Notice how many lies there are in this one sentence. They didn't have to "push" us aside, since we made a clear path for them to try their futile delivery. Its a little sloppy to call us "contra-demonstratiors, but "homeless from the area!" And then "Latin American immigrants!" By accusing us of being mainly homeless and immigrants they imply we are poor, illegal and undoubtedly included a lot of people of color. Then following this barely hidden racism, they pathetically claim we are "paid" by the Cubans! Finally their fear has them describe us as blocking access to the embassy. The truth is that the only pushing that took place was when one of them pushed one of the young women with us off the sidewalk. Furious as this arrogant act, she pressed charges of assault and since the police were witnesses, he was arrested and taken away. The only thing they got right is that we did block their real aims which were to attack Cuba. Apparently, the only way they can pretend success is to distort reality. (Compare their and our photographs and note how they left out their signs for Alpha 66 which is a notorious terrorist organization.) |

| 4-13-2005 The Commission must represent every United Nations member State and ensure respect for the rights of all men and women worldwide. It is significant, however, that within the UN Commission, during last year’s sessions, it was impossible to evaluate or even debate the atrocious violations of human rights taking place in U.S. prisons in Abuh Ghraib and Guantanamo. Don’t allow the UN Commission to be used to legitimize the Bush administration’s aggressive policy against the poor of the world! 10-2-2004 8-2-2004 6-15-2004 6-2-2004 5-24-2004 3-9-2004: 3-6-2004: 3-5-2004 12-15-2003 After July 26, 2003 Aug. 5, 2003 July 25, 2003 July
