The Cuban American National Foundation (CANF) is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to a free and democratic Cuba. Pursuit of the Foundation's mission is guided by three underlying principles: * Change should be both non-violent and meaningful, reflecting the natural will and inalienable rights of the Cuban people * Change must come from within the island, not forcibly imposed from abroad * Advocating change is the responsibility of all Cubans (those on the island and in exile), governments and organizations who share the goal of a free and democratic Cuba
