November 15 Cuba Solidarity Rally at Park St. MBTA on Boston Common (click to enlarge)
More happened at the rallies in the U.S. than in Cuba. Promoters of the planned disruptions saw this as proof of a vast repressive network. U.S. supporters of Cuba and critics of the U.S. role in promoting the anti-Cuban government mobilization saw this as proof of the limited support it received.
