Victor Rolando Arroyo, prisoner of conscience, sentenced to 26 years for his efforts as an independent journalist.

The men and women who risk their lives in the name of freedom need your support to continue defying one of the most repressive regimes on the planet.  Fidel Castro’s stronghold on Cuban society can be broken, one man, one woman at a time.  Cuba’s human rights and independent civil society activists struggle to bring each of us closer to our shared dream of freedom and social justice in Cuba.  Help them, and you will be helping to build Cuba’s future, today.

"T he Adopt a Dissident program is a breath of hope and a shot in the arm that helps activists face the daily hardships that are a fact of life for the average Cuban, but are magnified for activists.   On a personal level, I am grateful for the support that I receive from my mentor.   It is not just symbolic, it is an act of faith and brotherhood.”
