Description: The amounts and types of information made available during the internet era have been unprecedented throughout the world, but not in Cuba. The restrictions that the Cuban government has placed on the distribution of information, including access to the internet, have left many citizens yearning for greater access to unfiltered information. During the last 20 years, various independent CSGs and networks have been filling this void by distributing uncensored information and knowledge throughout the country. These initiatives serve as an alternative to state-sponsored sources of information. A number of independent CSGs and networks also provide a safe place where individuals can conduct research and analysis on a range of religious, literary, cultural, economic, and philosophical themes or topics. This program will build on previous efforts to expand and deepen independent groups?
