A couple of Canadian journalists (myself included) have started a fundraiser for local Tumbler Ridge journalist Trent Ernst. Since the shooting, he's stopped writing. We're hoping to get him some short-term support for these hard times.

He showed me the constant stream of messages he receives from people still on the island: hunger, blackouts, medicine shortages. Real people, real suffering, happening now.

Thank you, José, for your courage and for refusing to stop fighting for a free Cuba. #cuba #cubalibre

I had the honour of meeting Cuban opposition leader José Daniel Ferrer at the Cuban Museum today in Miami.

For speaking out for human rights, he has been imprisoned and tortured by the Cuban regime — yet he continues to fight. (1/2) @jdanielferrer

[Ryan Hicks @ryhicks]

Me mostró el flujo constante de mensajes que recibe de personas que aún permanecen en la isla: hambre, apagones, escasez de medicinas. Personas reales, sufrimiento real, ocurriendo ahora mismo.

Gracias, José, por tu valentía y por negarte a dejar de luchar por una Cuba libre.

Tuve el honor de conocer al líder opositor cubano @jdanielferrer en @thecubanmuseum, en Miami. Por alzar la voz en defensa de los derechos humanos, ha sido encarcelado y torturado por el régimen cubano — y aun así, sigue luchando. (1/2) #CubaNoEstáSola #Cuba #cubalibre

[Ryan Hicks @ryhicks]

@jdanielferrer @thecubanmuseum @cossiom @MarcellMiami Es un honor conocerle, José. Gracias por su lucha por una Cuba libre.
