“The rifles will be buried upside down, the words of hate will vanish in the heart without reaching the lips, we will go out into the street and we will all see a brother in our fellow man, let us look towards the future with a vision of peace derived from the one who knows he forgave, and has been forgiven. Let there be no blood to clean or dead to bury, the shadow of fear and catastrophe will give way to the light of reconciliation; and Cuba will be reborn in every heart, in a miracle of love made by God and us.
That will be the Liberation, it will be a new life and we will all share the feeling that we are all good and we want to be good, that each person wants the other to be happy, it will hearken back to a special time, it will be like Christmas, it will be this Christmas when Jesus comes. ”
Oswaldo Payá, Christmas message 1990
Dear friends,
On behalf of Cuba Decide, we wish you and your families a joyful holiday season and we express our deepest gratitude for your support throughout this past year.
We encourage you to maintain your hopes for freedom and democracy in Cuba.
During this time of celebration, our thoughts and prayers are dedicated to those who are unable to celebrate with us because their lives have been uprooted by persecution, imprisonment or torture due to their involvement in the fight for a free Cuba. Among these fighters is José Daniel Ferrer, leader of an UNPACU as well as a large group of promoters of Cuba Decide. We urge you to stand in solidarity with them, take the most effective action within your power and fight for the release of political prisoners in Cuba.
Through our website, your registration on AmazonSmile and your purchases from our CUBA DECIDE store, we have received, and very much appreciate, your financial contributions! These funds have allowed us to carry out our work to transform the political system in Cuba towards democracy through the promotion of the Cuba Decide campaign. We hope for your continued support, and welcome that of new friends, in 2020.
We at Cuba Decide, along with our thousands of promoters, remain optimistic. We work so that Cubans may freely elect their public officers and enjoy happiness in an unfettered democracy. As we approach the dawn of a new decade, the future that awaits is one abundant with change.
The change is in your hands.
We send our best wishes to you, and your family, in 2020.
