Freedom Caravan Supports Cuba's Democratic Resistance, Denounces New U.S.- Cuba Policy

The Drive for Freedom

This morning at ten in the morning hundreds of Cuban exiles and friends of freedom gathered at the Cuban Memorial in Tamiami Park next to Florida International University in their cars and a little after 10:30am began the drive through the streets of Miami in a Freedom Caravan.

Today's Freedom Caravan was initiated by the Cuban Resistance Assembly and sought to demonstrate the community's support for Cuba's democratic resistance and its opposition to President Obama's new Cuba policy that has coincided with rising repression and violence against activists on the island.

 More than 160 cars took part in today's caravan sending a strong message to passersby as they traveled along Coral Way to 67th Avenue turning right heading to Bird Road and again turning right on 112th Avenue and returning to Tamiami Park at 12 noon.

At the end of the event the Freedom Caravan returned to the Cuban Memorial and gave thanks and laid a wreath at the monument for the fallen.
