Media, political forces, and civil society organizations from the Americas, Asia, and Europe have confirmed their participation in April in a media marathon against the U.S. blockade of Cuba, the promoters of the project said Friday.
Launched on January 23 from the channel Europe for Cuba, the initiative already involves dozens of voices willing to denounce the siege imposed on the island, in uninterrupted broadcasts that will take place for 24 hours from April 2-3 through traditional and alternative media, and through social media networks.
We are satisfied with the response to the call in many countries, but there are still two weeks left in which we will add more participants, the coordinators of the channel and the marathon, José Antonio Toledo, Haydeline Díaz and Patricia Pérez, told Prensa Latina.
In that regard, they said that the condemnation of the blockade and the demand for its end will be echoed by television and radio stations, print media, influencers, and programs on social networks, as well as solidarity associations, political parties, and unions.
All those who have accepted the invitation to accompany Cuba in this struggle receive the same welcome, regardless of whether they are large or small, better known or lesser-known organizations, the promoters stressed.
Networks such as Telesur, HispanTV, Al Mayadeen and Cubavisión Internacional, the Prensa Latina and Sputnik news agencies and the radio stations Radio del Sur, Radio Patagonia, Radio Rebelde and Radio Habana Cuba, among others have confirmed their support.
Also, the World Federation of Trade Unions, the Latin American Network of Solidarity with Cuba and associations supporting the island, Cuban residents and communist parties from Argentina, Bolivia, Spain, France, Honduras, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Russia and other countries, said yes to the media marathon.
