A bill 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 Paya Way".

This bill proposes to designate a specific portion of 16th Street, Northwest, in Washington, District of Columbia, as "Oswaldo Paya Way." This area is located between the intersections of Fuller Street, Northwest, and Euclid Street, Northwest. Additionally, the address 2630 16th Street, Northwest, which corresponds to the Embassy of Cuba, would be redesignated as 2630 Oswaldo Paya Way, with the District of Columbia required to install new street signs reflecting this change. The designation serves to honor Oswaldo Paya Sardinas , a prominent Cuban political dissident and human rights activist who peacefully advocated for democratic freedoms in Cuba. Congress finds that Paya, a recipient of the Sakharov Prize, was dedicated to nonviolent reform through initiatives like the Varela Project, and his death in 2012 is widely believed to have been orchestrated by the Castro regime. Renaming the street in front of the Cuban Embassy symbolizes solidarity between the United States and the Cuban people in their ongoing struggle for human rights against the backdrop of a 64-year dictatorship.
