HR-4558House2025-07-21Government Operations and Politics

To designate the area between the intersections of 16th Street Northwest and Fuller Street Northwest and 16th Street Northwest and Euclid Street Northwest in Washington, District of Columbia, as "Oswaldo Payá Way".

YourVoice.Now Summary

The street in front of the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C. would be renamed "Oswaldo Paya Way" in honor of Oswaldo Paya Sardinas, a Cuban pro-democracy activist who died in a 2012 car crash widely believed to have been orchestrated by the Castro regime. The embassy's official address would change to 2630 Oswaldo Paya Way, and the city would install new street signs at both ends of the block. It's a symbolic gesture of solidarity with Cubans fighting for democratic freedoms and human rights.

Congressional Summary
