This footage was filmed and produced 11 July 2021.

On the evening of July 11, people gathered in support of the Cuban protest near the Cuban embassy in Washington.

Thousands of Cubans took to the streets on Sunday to protest a lack of food and medicine as the country undergoes a grave economic crisis aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic and US sanctions.

Demonstrators complained about a lack of freedom and the worsening economic situation during the rare protests, according to people who spoke to CNN and videos from multiple cities, including capital Havana.
Many chanted for "freedom" and called for President Miguel Díaz-Canel to step down.

"The Center for a Free Cuba supports the Cuban people's claim of freedom and calls on the international community and human rights organizations to denounce the repression on the island and demand the whereabouts" - wrote in his Twitter author of this video.
