DESCRIPTION:Join us in San Francisco on Saturday, July 23!\n\nCommemorate 10 years of 
 struggle to free the Cuban Five\n\nCommemorate the 10th anniversary of the 
 founding of the\nNational Committee to Free the Cuban Five \n\nOn June 8, 
 2001, after a seven-month trial, the Cuban Five were unjustly convicted in 
 a courtroom in Miami. By the end of that month, the National Committee to 
 Free the Cuban Five was formed, signaling the start of the political battle 
 to free Gerardo, Ramón, Antonio, Fernando and René. Shortly thereafter we 
 produced the very first brochure (shown at right) explaining the case of 
 the Five. Included in the brochure was the "Message to the American 
 People", which the Cuban Five Heroes wrote together in Miami prison on June 
 17, nine days after their conviction. Since the start of that very first 
 committee, hundreds of other committees have been formed around the world, 
 and the struggle to free the Five continues. \n\nOn Saturday, July 23 we 
 will celebrate the 58th anniversary of the historic attack on the Moncada 
 Barracks (July 26, 1953) led by Fidel Castro, which began the Cuban 
 Revolution, as well as the 10th anniversary of the founding of the National 
 Committee to Free the Cuban Five, and rededicate ourselves to spreading the 
 message of the Five and fighting for their freedom. \n\nJoin us to hear a 
 reportback by Frank Lara and Antoinette Márquez, two young activists who 
 just participated in the Havana 3rd Annual Youth Conference in Solidarity 
 with the Cuban Five. Learn about the current legal appeals of the Five, and 
 get involved in the struggle to help free them. And enjoy an evening of 
 food, drinks and music! \n\nDonation: $15-20 sliding scale (no one turned 
 away for lack of funds)\n\nTo purchase tickets in advance at 
 www.freethefive.org.\n\n\n
