[edit] Activities and stated goals

The CLC was established in Florida in 2001 with the goal of:

• "Assisting the efforts of human rights and opposition groups in Cuba."
• "Condemning and denouncing, in national and international fora, the criminal and repressive practices of the Castro brothers totalitarian regime, including the lack of individual liberties, the systematic violations of human rights, the apartheid against the Cuban people, the association of the Castro regime with unscrupulous businessmen to exploit the Cuban workers, and the intrusion and subversion in other countries."
• Opposing any attempt by any group or political force, inside or outside Cuba, to impose an accord or form of government on the Cuban people that would represent the continuance of the totalitarian regime that has impoverished and enslaved them."
