The Archipelago platform announced on Thursday a group of recommendations for those who want to participate in the Civic March for Change in Havana next Monday, given the threats received by the regime, which considers the call “illegal.”
In addition to insisting on the exercise of the right to demonstrate, the platform offers other alternatives to demonstrate support for the march, such as collective applause, cacerolazos, the use of white garments next Monday and a “massive blackout” to the National Television Newscast. on November 15, 16 and 17.
The group maintains the proposal to march from three in the afternoon on Monday in the places initially proposed in each city. However, they recommend that if when approaching the area it is “militarized” it is better to go to the parks with “friends and acquaintances” to “talk about the Cuba” that you want to build.
In the event that the park was also “occupied by military personnel” or there were “activities with children”, the organizers of the initiative then suggest looking for another space.

“If they militarize the city, they will only show their fear of citizens’ dreams of change,” they explain, and recommend that those who manage to meet make circles or groups with their acquaintances “to avoid infiltrations by the regime.”
In his proposal, he includes the idea of taking a photo or a video where the date is recorded to send it to Telegram with the user: @ggarmendiac, a space whose access may be compromised if the authorities apply a network blockade similar to the one they implemented after the popular protests of July 11.
In Las Tunas, Archipelago reported that the demonstration will leave at 3:00 pm from the Plaza Martiana, with the intention of advancing to the Plaza Cultural to place flowers on the bust of José Martí located in the middle of the park and make a “sit-in” there.
“In case it cannot be done in those two spaces”, it would begin at four in the afternoon so that everyone can reach Avenida 1º de Mayo. They remember the use of “white clothing, flags or white scarves” as well as the idea of carrying “a flower in hand, Cuban flags or posters” without words that could be offensive. “We reiterate that this march is civic and peaceful, and has the following demands: Against violence, respect for human rights in Cuba, the release of political prisoners and resolve differences between Cubans through democratic means.”

Similar proposals were disseminated on networks to Camaguey, Pinewood of the river, Hundred fires and the municipality of Southern Consolation, in Pinar del Río.
The Cubalex Legal Information Center has also made a group of recommendations available to protesters. Among the advice they offer is that of sharing the information obtained from a detainee in the protests, as well as that, before leaving, some general information is left with a trusted person “outside of Cuba” that can later facilitate making complaints and the presentation of a habeas corpus. For this last procedure, they also give precise instructions on how to do it.
In addition, they advise those who are going to record videos or broadcast live to say the date, time and exact place where the events are taking place, although the cut off of internet access that day may be similar to that suffered after the protests of the past 11 of July.
