From Gaza to Cuba

Discover the unique relationship between Cuba and Palestine through this exclusive fundraiser for the victims of the ongoing genocide in Gaza at Salsability. The mainstream media's efforts today are targeted at portraying the perpetrators as victims, demonizing the Palestinian resistance, and making Israel's acts unseen or minimized. In the midst of this long battle, it is appropriate to highlight the beautiful story of human unity that a small Caribbean island has been writing for decades. Cuba, the "terrible and inhuman dictatorship" that the main corporate media cartels insist on portraying, has been and continues to be one of the most strongest defenders of the Palestinian cause. Join us for an evening of resistance, solidarity, and discussion with films, informative talks, food, an exclusive salsa show by Malek, and more!
