July 26 Coalition Notice:

The next  meeting to plan this year's July 26 Celebration, to be held
on Friday, July 17, 2007 will be this Tuesday, July 17, at 6:30 PM, at
the 1199/SEIU Building, 310 West 43rd St., between 8th and 9th Avenues,
Times Square Subway Stop in Manhattan

We have 2 weeks to go before this years Celebration. Our main task is
to get out the word!! This year's event will be particularly attractive
beyond the broad layer of folks who are in conscious solidarity with
the Cuban Revolution. The addition to our program of two New York City
firefighters and first-responders on the day of the 9/11 attacks, John
Feal and William Maher, will strongly increase the attractiveness of
this year's event and potential mass media coverage. William went to
Cuba for medical treatment as shown in the Michael Moore movie "Sicko."
John was the firefighter who arranged for the group to travel to Cuba
with Moore. 

As previously stated the program will also feature a keynote address
from an Ambassador of Cuba to the United Nations. We have confirmed
solidarity talks at the event by Leonard Weinglass, Larry Hamm (Peoples
Organization for Progress), Sandra Levinson, who will give a tribute to
Vilma Espin, Antonio Camacho Negrin, and Elombe Brath. Live music will
be performed by the Boston-based rock/rap band Bojah and the
Insurrection.

Attached to this email is the flyer for the July 27 event. We urge you
to forward this to your listserves or individuals/organizations in your
email address book.

We will have available at the meeting thousands of the beautiful palm
card, as well as leaflets, for people and groups to pick up to
publicize and build this event.

At this week's meeting we will go over in detail the program for July
27 and stepping up outreach and media work. Organizations should bring
their $25 contribution for the event. 

We ask all the organizations that have been part of the Cuba solidarity
movement and the annual July 26th Celebrations to send representatives
to the July 17 meeting.

Let's make July 27 a powerful show of solidarity with Cuba!
