Pasos de Cambio Calls on Cuban Opposition to Propose Concrete Actions for Democratic Transition

Miami, FL — March 5, 2025
The Pasos de Cambio platform, composed of Cuban civic and political organizations both on the Island and in exile, signatories to the Agreement for Democracy, announces an urgent call to propose concrete measures that contribute to the transition towards democracy in Cuba.
Given the urgency of the crisis and the conditions of a failed state on the Island, it is imperative to advance in unity and coordinated action among democratic forces. We call on civil society, activists, political organizations, and citizens committed to change to join this call.
