Join Students For Liberty on Thursday, July 29, 2021, at 5 PM EDT to discuss a pro-freedom perspective on Cuba in the wake of the #CubaLibre protests in that country earlier this month.
Gloria Alvarez, Alejandra Franganillo, and Andres Guilarte will talk about the #CubaLibre protests, widely considered one of the biggest anti-government protests in Cuba. After decades of repression and economic suffering, the Cuban people have taken to the streets demanding liberty. They are fighting the tyranny of the communist regime, which has denied generations of Cubans the right to determine their future and strive for prosperity freely.
Gloria Alvarez is a Guatemalan political commentator, media personality, and a published author focusing on international development and economics. On account of her speeches against populist regimes and public advocacy of libertarianism in Latin America, she has become the benchmark leader for a new generation that is beginning to see a way of doing politics in Guatemala with fresh eyes.
Alejandra Franganillo is a Students For Liberty’s Local Coordinator based in Miami, Florida. Alejandra studies political science at Florida International University. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Alejandra is the product of Cuban immigrants; her grandparents left Cuba in the 70s and her father left in 1997. She has lived her whole life through the lens of Cuban heritage and suffering due to the effects of the 62-year-old Communist dictatorship.
“I live in Miami, Florida, 90 miles away from Cuba, hoping to see it break from its chains. My connection to Cuba is not only by blood but by heart, as my family has cultivated in me the love for its culture and the dream of a Cuba for all,” says Franganillo.
The event will be hosted by Andres Guilarte, Students For Liberty’s Research Associate.
