To the Members of the Congressional Black Caucus,

I am writing to ask that you make time during your trip to Cuba next week, to actively seek out the opinions and ideas of Cuba’s growing dissident movement. For fifty years the Castro regime has systematically denied its citizens their most basic human rights as guaranteed under the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Cubans do not have access to a free press, may not assemble without fear of government persecution, may not establish independent political parties, and cannot travel abroad without the express permission of the Cuban government. Many of the members of the Congressional Black Caucus are veterans of our own country’s Civil Rights struggles and know, perhaps better than most, how a free press, the ability to assemble publicly and the ability to speak freely are critical to the full exercise of our rights as human beings. I encourage you to actively seek out and make common cause with the brave men and women who struggle every day to create a truly free Cuba. As visiting representatives of the American people, you have a unique opportunity to ask to speak with people such as Yoani Sánchez, Oscar Elias Biscet, Oswaldo Paya, and Jorge Luis Garcia Pérez and to hear from them the often stark truth of daily life in Cuba.

Thank you.
