Join us next week for a drinks reception and talk from Rosa Mariá Payá

Good afternoon,

We would love for you to join us for a drinks reception and short talk on the 30th March at the ASI office. We will be joined by guest speaker ​​Cuban human rights activist Rosa María Payá to discuss her fight for democracy in Cuba. 

‘It is time to impose a significant geopolitical loss on Russia by removing from its grasp its Latin American empire. This little empire composed of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua is held together by its linchpin Cuba, also its weakest link.’

As always (free) wine will be provided and political discussion will be had by all.

About the speaker:

Rosa María Payá is a Cuban human rights and democracy activist and the daughter of slain Cuban democracy activist Oswaldo Payá. She is a graduate of the University of Havana and Georgetown University’s Global Competitive Leadership Program.
