González—were jailed merely for having infi ltrated CIA-backed right-wing
terrorist commando organizations to monitor and stop attacks on Cuba from
U.S. soil.
The struggle to win their freedom has galvanized a broad united front among
those who battle oppression based on their gender expression and/or sex and
who they love. Individuals and organizations have signed on from 45
countries, from every continent and from virtually every state in the
continental U.S. For more information, visit: www.freethefiveny.org or
