Protests continue in Cuba and in the Tampa Bay area as people demand freedom from the communist government. Saturday morning, hundreds of protesters gathered at Al Lopez park to make their voices heard.
"Libertad!" was chanted as people gathered around a stage. Tampa police had a heavy presence, making sure the event remained safe.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor spoke to the crowds, expressing her support for the protests against Cuba.
"Cuba is woven into the fabric of Tampa, and made it what it is today," said Castor, speaking to the media after her speech.
