Human
rights are being violated daily in Cuba and have been for over 50 years.
Internet
access on the island is almost impossible to come by for a Cuban citizen.
When
they are able to obtain it, it is an extremely censored version. This extremely
limited access to the average Cuban citizen is a means to keep the people of
Cuba silent and to keep the rest the world from knowing the truth about the
tortured about the oppressed lives of the Cuban people on the island. As demonstrated by the Arab Spring, the rebels
of the decade are Twitter users, bloggers and people with cameras. This site
aims to be a catch all for all SOS messages sent out by the citizen journalists on
Cuban soil.
The
mission of this blog is to sustain the lives of the current Cuban heroes. The rebels
brave enough to speak out against the Castro regime by publishing blogs and uploading
videos of human right violations of the government on sites such as YouTube. You
may ask how have they been able to get away with these acts of dissidence? They
do this by maintaining a certain visibility. Speaking out against the Cuban government is
punishable by death and torture. These rebels are placing their lives on the
line. A visibility this site hopes to
promote above all. The method of
creating a shield around these rebels is done simply by the spreading of
information. Once their voices have been heard by the world it would be
difficult to deny their existence and or to deny the blatant violations of the
most basic of human rights by the Castro Regime. We keep them brave by
providing them the access to maintain an open line of communication with the
outside world. One of the best tools we can offer this cause as a community of
Exiles in the US and as US citizens accessing the first amendment’s right to freedom
of expression, is to share the voices of those less fortunate.
This
blog condenses the information on this movement. To seek and to share the work of
artist, writers, photographers, filmmakers, journalists, poets and the messages
from a people unable to exercise the basic human right of freedom of speech. In
this way the site will act as a funnel for all information coming out of Cuba
present-day. In this site you will discover and share alternative methods of supporting
these messages from the Cuban people by providing them with access to the tools
they need to create their work and messages. Tools like video cameras, video editing
software, still cameras, flash drives, cd roms, old smart phones and
translating services for writers are just a few of the services and materials
needed for the information to spread amongst the people on the island as well as
the rest the world. The makers of this blog will seek to discover and research
secure methods of delivery and distribution of materials to the people of Cuba.
Join
us in this exciting revolution. Thanks to sites like this. This revolution will be
televised. The site will point out the easy ways you can help. Start by spreading the word. By posting,
reposting and distributing their tweets, videos, photos, we make their messages
louder and louder.
If
you would like to contribute to this blog and its mission feel free to reach
out.
