Celebrate Cubana Noche
An event celebrating Cuban culture, history, and its inspiring revolution from the Party for Socialism and Liberation-Seattle
NOCHE CUBANA
Saturday, July 29 from 6 PM to 10 PM
918 S Horton St, Seattle, WA 98134
On July 26, 1953, Cuban revolutionaries began a movement which toppled the U.S. backed military dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Today, Cuba's revolutionary social progress is an inspiration to poor and oppressed people everywhere who seek to build a better, more just world for all!
In 1959, young Cuban revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro and Che Guevara defeated the hated, U.S.-backed military dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. It was a triumph for the Cuban people and for poor and oppressed people across the world. Now, Cuba's social progress stands as an inspiration to those who seek to build a better, more just world. (July 26 marks the attack on the Moncada Barracks, commemorated as the start of the Cuban Revolution.)
Join us in celebrating Cuban culture, history, and its inspiring revolution with homemade Cuban food, music, and poetry from local artists and activists.

A summer party and showing of the movie DARE TO DREAM
Can one Medical School Change the World?
Seattle-Cuba Friendship Committee invites you to join us!
DARE TO DREAM is a 30 minute film that tells the story of the largest medical school in the world, the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) in Havana, Cuba through the eyes of US students who received full scholarships from the Cuban government with the commitment to practice medicine in under-served communities.
Through the stories of ELAM graduates, we learn the history of this medical school that is revolutionizing healthcare on a global level, graduating more than 26,000 doctors from around the world.
