Free the Cuban Five billboard unveiled in Los Angeles

On Feb. 1, nearly two dozen solidarity activists gathered on famous Hollywood Boulevard in downtown Los Angeles, Calif., to unveil the only non-electoral political billboard currently standing in a city filled with billboards advertising movies, cars and other products. The billboard proudly proclaims, “Free the Cuban Five Unjustly Held in U.S. Prisons,” to the traffic passing by, coming and going from the busy Hollywood Freeway.
The vocal crowd was thrilled to see this tribute to five heroic men, and happy to know that the message of the Five will reach hundreds of thousands of people over the course of the next month. A series of prominent activists in solidarity with the Cuban Five spoke to the crowd during a rally chaired by Ian Thompson, an organizer with the Los Angeles chapter of the National Committee to Free the Cuban Five. “*
