All Cuba supporters are invited to a July 26 celebration, party and fundraiser in Los Angeles to celebrate Cuba–its people, the Cuban 5, food, art, culture and its revolution. The July 26 Noche Cubana will be a festive atmosphere with progressive politics and fun for all.
July 26th is celebrated around the world as the beginning of the Cuban revolutionary struggle. On July 26 1953, over 130 young Cuban revolutionaries, led by Fidel Castro, launched an attack on the Moncada barracks to start a rebellion against the U.S.-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. The rebellion sparked the struggle that resulted in the Jan. 1, 1959 revolutionary triumph.
Now, Cuba’s social progress stands as an inspiration to working and oppressed people throughout the world. Come on Saturday to the Noche Cubana–let’s show our solidarity with the Cuban people!
