Last week, many groups near South Florida began organizing supplies to deliver to Cuba, where citizens are in critical need of food and medical supplies amid an economic crisis.
As protests in solidarity occurred in Florida, many grew frustrated with the U.S. government’s lack of response and have decided to take matters into their own hands. An organizer, Osdany Veloz, said that boaters plan to travel near Cuba’s coastline to make Cubans aware of their support without them having to cross into Cuban territory.
