Cuban women speak in NYC
Published Mar 11, 2009 3:20 PM
The Solidarity Center hosted a meeting and reception on March 4 to welcome
two revolutionary women who traveled to New York City from socialist Cuba to
participate in International Working Women’s Month activities at the
United Nations. Shown in the photo above, Maritzel Gonzalez, a leader of the
Federation of Cuban Women, and Dora Carcano, Coordinator of the Regional Office
of the Women’s International Democratic Federation, gave inspiring,
concrete examples to show how the lives of the Cuban people, especially women,
have vastly improved since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution 50 years ago.
They also spoke about the ongoing struggle to free the Cuban Five, political
prisoners who have been held unjustly in U.S. penitentiaries for more than 10
years. Nieves Ayress from La Peña del Bronx chaired the meeting. Marcia
Campos, president of the WIDF visiting from Brazil, gave solidarity
greetings.
