Please Support Our Work

To continue our work, we really need your support!    Free Society Project, Cuba Archive, is an “activist think tank” that promotes the understanding and observance of human rights particularly through research and publications. Our goal is to advance freedom and other urgent aspirations of those living in oppression in Cuba or who are directly impacted by the Cuban regime. Aside from our longtime work documenting deaths and disappearances and working on transitional justice issues, we also continue to focus on human exploitation/trafficking and on Venezuela.   The Cuban dictatorship devotes enormous resources to spreading its influence and propaganda globally. Yet, truth is disproportionately effective —in an instant, it can undo millions of dollars of disinformation. That's why our efforts are devoted to providing victim-centered facts. Our work makes a difference; it is cited in media venues throughout the world and our reports and newsletters are seen by many influential people in governments, policy tanks, academia, and international organizations. It also reaches civil society activists and other important actors inside Cuba starved for information. All our work is produced by a staff of just three professionals with part-time compensation (and lots of pro bono work) and a few freelance contractors. But results exceed —in scope, quality, and impact— those of similar projects worldwide with a much larger staff of full-time workers. In 2020, we have great plans that include a more user-friendly website and exciting new initiatives. Because we have so much more to do, we really need your help!   We ask for your support and generosity. Please donate via Pay Pal or send a check in the name of Free Society Project to P.O. Box 612224, North Miami, FL 33261-2224. Our Facebook page is also set up to receive donations and for dedicated fundraisers on your own birthday. (Donations are tax-deductible in the U.S.)  Also, see here other ways to help advance this work. It is especially important to have your testimony if you have information on any death or disappearance. To all our supporters, our heartfelt thanks. To all our readers, thanks for your interest and for disseminating our work. Best wishes for the holiday season and in the coming year.
