"Ours may be one of the most ridiculous accusations of espionage in the
history of this country"-Gerardo Hernandez Nordelo, The Cuban 5

This September 12th, 2007 will mark the 9th year anniversary of the
arrest
of the Cuban 5; five US held Cuban political prisoners incarcerated for
protecting Cuba from U.S. sponsored terrorist actions.

Last year, President Ricardo Alarcon, of the Cuban Parliament, declared
Sept. 12 th through October 6th to be a period of time to raise
awareness on
the case of the Cuban 5. The Popular Education Project to Free the Cuban
5
took this proclamation as a call to action. By publishing this call
through various list serves and community mediums, we were able to
motivate
organizations, individuals, teachers, clergy and students to organize a
series of events throughout the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Popular Education Project to Free the Cuban 5 is committed to
building
an international movement for the Cuban 5 by making Sept. 12 th-October
12th
"Free the Cuban 5 Month." We have extended the period of time in
commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Ernest "Che" Guevara's
assassination by the Bolivian army, under the direction of the CIA.

We are asking organizations in New York City to endorse "Free the Cuban
5
Month" and to organize an event dedicated to the Cuban 5 within your
community or for your constituency. Our goal is to organize a calendar
of
events throughout New York City and internationally that can be
circulated
through colleges, communities, unions, and churches. Our goal is to
educate, organize and mobilize as many people as possible to support the
work to free the Cuban 5.

In order to endorse, email the Project at: freethecubanfive@hotmail.com
and
let us know which date within the month you will organize your event.

Join us in building the worldwide movement to free the Cuban 5. Cuba is
calling for our support and solidarity; we cannot stand by and let this
period of time go by without action, education and fund-raising.

Email us with your endorsement and your activity as soon as you
possible.

FREE THE CUBAN 5!!
