NEW YORK TIMES PETITION FOR THE CUBAN 5 
 
"NEW YORK TIMES COVER THE CUBAN 5!!", was one of many slogans over 60 
activists chanted a month ago in front of the New York Times Building!! The 
New York Times has continued to ignore the people's demand to publish an 
article on the Cuban 5. 
 
In response to President Alarcon's call for a second international period of 
time to raise awareness for the Cuban 5 (Dec. 12th-27th), The Popular 
Education Project to Free the Cuban 5 has organized the following 
initiatives: 
 
Sign our INTERNATIONAL petition to demand that the New York Times publish an 
article on the Cuban 5: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/846703346 
 
Our goal is to reach 1000 signatures!! GET THIS PETITION OUT TO ALL YOUR 
FRIENDS, FAMILY, THROUGHOUT YOUR LISTS, ORGANIZATIONS AND ADDRESS BOOKS!!
