If you have a blog....

For the fourth time since his arrest in July, physician/human rights activist/independent journalist Dr. Darsi Ferrer Ramírez is Uncommon Sense's Cuban Political Prisoner of the Week.

The latest designation comes as the world prepares to commemorate International Human Rights Day on Thursday, Dec. 10. In prior years, Ferrer has led peaceful protests in Havana, but since he is likely to still be in jail, it falls on the rest of us to pick up his banner and demand that human rights be restored and respected in Cuba, and that Dr. Ferrer be immediately released from prison.

You can do that by joining a blogburst/blogaccíon being planned for his behalf.

A voice for those that have none, Joe Cardona tells it like it is.

It's about time a voice like Joe Cardona's was heard in Miami's local media. Measured, knowledgeable, current, with the pulse of a people - and an urgent message. Today's Miami Herald has a great op-ed piece on Human Rights in Cuba - and how certain folk choose to ignore basic abuse time after time - we urge you to look at it and applaud Joe and everyone standing up for Human Rights - because people deserve the dignity to govern themselves, assemble publicly, and print and read what they will - and to deny them that - is criminal. Cardona is right, those who aid in denying free speech - should be called out for it.
