Nearly two years ago President Barack Obama and Cuba’s President Raul Castro announced plans to normalize relations. Since then, how much has really changed, and what are the prospects for the future?

Two top leaders from the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), will be in Wisconsin to help build bridges of friendship between the people of Cuba and of the United States. Founded in 1960, ICAP has worked to promote solidarity between the people of Cuba and nations worldwide.

On November 15 at 7 p.m. hear Sandra Ramirez Rodriguez, Director of the North American Division of ICAP, and Leima Martinez from ICAP’s North America Division, speaking on Cuba’s perspectives on strengthening ties between our peoples. For example, Cuba is currently providing free medical school to two women from Wisconsin, and its medicines have been credited with prolonging the quality of life for at least one Wisconsin man with advanced lung cancer. What more can be done so that our citizens can travel and trade more freely and learn from each other?
