DESCRIPTION:Rally & Press Conference - Speaker Pelosi: Sign Your Colleagues’ Letter 
 on Cuba, End the Blockade, Let Cuba Live! \n\nMonday, January 3 @ 
 2pm\nFederal Building, 7th + Mission Street, San Francisco \n\nSponsored 
 by: Answer Coalition - Bay Area, Bay Area Saving Lives Committee, Cuba and 
 Venezuela Solidarity Committee) \n\nOn Dec. 14, 114 members of Congress, 
 including almost every Bay Area Representative (Barbara Lee, Zoe Lofgren, 
 Anna Eshoo, Ro Khanna, Jackie Speier, Jared Huffman, and Eric Swalwell), 
 sent a letter to President Joseph Biden urging him to take a series of 
 steps aimed at reversing the anti-Cuba measures taken by the Trump and 
 Biden Administrations, and to move towards normalization of U.S.-Cuba 
 relations. This demand is particularly urgent in the midst of a 
 pandemic.\n\nNotably missing from the signatories of the letter was San 
 Francisco’s Representative and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. With 
 this action we demand that Pelosi sign her colleagues’ letter, and bring 
 its recommendations to a vote in Congress.\n\nThe key demands of the 
 Representatives are:\n• Suspend U.S. regulations that prevent food, 
 medicine, and other humanitarian assistance from reaching the Cuban 
 people\n• Remove all restrictions on family remittances\n• Roll back 
 restrictions on travel to Cuba\n• Remove Cuba from the State Sponsor of 
 Terrorism List\n• Re-engage with Cuba in areas of mutual interest\n\nTo 
 these demands we add our own demands:\nRep. Pelosi — Sign your 
 colleagues’ letter on Cuba!\nEnd the Criminal U.S. Blockade of Cuba!\nLet 
 Cuba Live!\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2021/12/31/18846998.php
