A short documentary containing protest footage and newsreels of Lolita Lebrón's arrest will be shown at a special screening. We hope to create discussion spaces that generate critical thinking and understanding of what we face as we continue to fight U.S. Imperialism.
November 19 marks the 104th birthday of Lolita Lebrón, and we can’t think of a better way to embrace our culture than through food, friends, and a backyard full of love.
✊🏽 ⁣END THE DEBT! DECOLONIZE! LIBERATE!
