July 26th celebrations in Toronto


On Tuesday, July 26th
join us in celebrating
CUBA’S REBELLION DAY 
 
6:30pm to midnight
 
United Steelworkers’ Hall, 25 Cecil St.
(one block southeast of College and Spadina)
 
Admission:  $5 suggested donation

On July 26th, 1953 a group of brave young Cubans attacked the Moncada and the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes garrisons, symbols of the tyranny and occupation of Cuba under the U.S. puppet regime of Batista.

Although the attack was defeated, it raised the banner of struggle, which would lead to the victory of the Cuban Revolution on January 1st, 1959. 
 
We celebrate the heroic resistance of the anti-terrorist Cuban Five who are unjustly held in U.S. prisons while the Cuban nation is defending its socialist achievements through mass mobilizations for the implementation of the Economic and Social Policy Guidelines of the Party and of the Revolution.
 

This year’s celebration is dedicated to Dudley Laws and Leonard Weinglass
