(Washington, D.C.)— In response to the announcement by President Obama that the United States will restore diplomatic and economic relations with Cuba, Cristóbal Alex, President of Latino Victory Project, released the following statement:
“Decades of sanctions and silence between the United States and Cuban governments has failed to help citizens of either nation. The Latino Victory Project supports President Obama’s announcement that not only diplomatic but economic discussions will resume between these two countries to the benefit of Americans and Cubans alike. These steps forward are crucial to empowering Cubans both at home and abroad, and we hope they will lead to strengthening families within our community.”
