Miami, Fl. - City of Miami Commission Chairman Joe Sanchez will present a resolution tomorrow, May 22nd, 2008, at the City of Miami Commission Meeting stating that the City of Miami will stand in solidarity with the people of Cuba seeking political freedom and basic human rights.

On May 21st, 2008, federal officials met in Washington, DC as part of Cuban Solidarity Day in the White House.  During that day, heroes who have suffered under the Castro regime for the cause of freedom and human rights were remembered.

"It is of extreme importance that the people in Cuba, especially those who risk their lives in order to raise their voice against tyranny and oppression, know that America is behind them, and the City of Miami proudly stands in solidarity with them in this just cause," stated Commissioner Joe Sanchez.
