[act-ma] 1/29 Postponed: Building Youth Friendship & Solidarity Between Massachusetts & Cuba

[Charlie Welch]

Hi

I am writing on behalf of the July 26 Boston-Cuba Solidarity Coalition 
to let you know that we are postponing our youth/May Day Brigade 
organizing hybrid event planned for this Sunday, January 29, in 
solidarity with the protests for Arif Faisal, a Cambridge resident who 
was murdered by the Cambridge Police Department in early January. The 
stand-out in support of Cuba planned for Sunday, January 29, is also 
postponed. We plan to hold our hybrid event in February or March and 
will keep you updated as our events are rescheduled.

The issue of US imperialism towards Cuba (and all countries in the 
Global South) is deeply connected to the issues of racism, police 
brutality, and the militarization of the police within the US. In lieu 
of our planned event on Sunday, we urge members and supporters to join 
the protest and vigil for Faisal in Somerville, to honor his life and 
demand accountability from the CPD.

We are gathering for a rally and march for Faisal at Somerville High 
School Sunday, January 29, at 1:00 PM. The vigil for Faisal will be held 
at the Mystic Mural at 2:00 PM. Please share this flyer with your 
friends, family, and community members.
