We're bringing back one of our most beloved
series - and we're starting with her. 💙

March is Women's History Month. And in a
moment when the world is flattening Cuban
Americans into one story, we can think of no
better way to kick off this series again than
with Reyna Noriega - Afro-Cuban artist,
Cuban-Bahamian American, and a reminder
of everything our community actually is.

Reyna's work has appeared on billboards in
New York and on t-shirts at Old Navy. But
it's her words that stay with us:

"I carry my identities with pride and with
a sense of responsibility. They have afforded
me the ability to see a wide range of views
and relatability to various groups of people —
so I'm sure to use my voice responsibly."

If you've been following us for a while,
you may remember Reyna from our original
Living in the Hyphen series. We're honored
to share her story again — because it's more
relevant today than ever.

We are Afro-Cuban. Cuban-Bahamian. Artists,
dreamers, and organizers. We are not a monolith.

🌸 This is Living in the Hyphen — and it's back.

We are Cubanos Pa'lante. And we cannot stay silent while our people suffer. 🕯️

The island of Cuba is in crisis. Families are in the dark. Food is spoiling. Hospitals are cutting services. People are in the streets. Today, an earthquake.

Whatever your politics — whatever you believe about US policy, about the regime, about what comes next — eleven million people are suffering right now. And many of us have family among them.

Cubanos Pa'lante was built on the belief that our community is not a monolith. We hold complicated feelings about Cuba. We always have. We are allowed to.

What we are not willing to do is look away from human suffering.

We stand with the Cuban people.
We always will. 💙

Share this with someone who has family on the island.

We contain multitudes. 👀

This week's headlines have been A LOT — Cuba deals,
tariffs, the economy, Iran. And Cuban Americans are
out here processing all of it in real time, in our
group chats, at the ventanita, at the dinner table.

We don't have to agree on everything. We never have.

What we do agree on: our communities deserve fair
representation. Our votes deserve equal weight.
Our neighborhoods shouldn't be carved up to serve
politicians.

That fight continues — no matter what the headlines
say. Pa'lante. ▶▶

Where it started. 🕰️

In 2020, while politicians were drawing maps designed
to silence us, a small group of Cuban Americans came
together with a simple belief: we are not a monolith.

We became Cubanos Pa'lante. We held town halls.
We went to the White House. We watched our
community get pulled in every direction by headlines
about Cuba, about elections, about who we're
supposed to be.

And through all of it, we kept building.

Six years later - with a federal lawsuit before a
three-judge panel and a ruling expected this summer —
we're still here. Still moving forward.

This is nuestra historia. And it's still being written. ▶▶

This is why we do this work. 💙

Last week we announced that we filed our
post-trial brief - and you showed up in our
comments in a way that stopped us in our
tracks.

"Thank you for leading the fight to protect
us all."
"Amazing news!"
"Muy bien!"
"So happy to hear this!"

This fight belongs to all of us. Every comment,
every share, every person who said "finally"
when they found out what was happening to
our districts - that's the fuel that keeps
us going.

A ruling is expected this summer. We will
keep you informed every step of the way.

ACLU of Florida Engage Miami

This is why we show up. 💙

Cubanos Pa'lante was built on a simple belief: our community deserves to be fully seen — not as a political monolith, but as the beautifully complex, diverse, and determined gente that we are.

As we reactivate this page and continue the fight for fair representation in the courts, we want to hear from you too. What brought you to Cubanos Pa'lante? Drop it in the comments. ⬇️

¿Por qué estamos demandando al Estado de La Florida? Swipe to find out. →

Cubanos Pa'lante, ACLU of Florida, and Engage Miami filed a federal lawsuit challenging the gerrymandering of South Florida's Latinx communities. Our districts were drawn to divide us - not represent us.

The case is now before a three-judge federal panel after we filed our post-trial brief last week. A ruling is expected this summer.

This is what we've been building toward. Save this post and share it with someone who needs to understand what's at stake.

It's been a minute. But we haven't been quiet — we've been working. ▶▶

Since you last heard from us, Cubanos Pa'lante filed a federal gerrymandering lawsuit against the Florida House of Representatives alongside ACLU of Florida and Engage Miami. We rebuilt our website from the ground up at cubanospalante.com. Our community kept growing. And last week, we filed our post-trial brief - putting our full case before a three-judge federal panel.

Now we're ready to bring you along for the rest.

This page is coming back to life - with lawsuit updates, community stories, Cuban history, and the education our gente deserves.

Welcome back. Pa'lante. ▶▶

We just filed our post-trial brief. ⚖️

On February 27, 2026, Cubanos Pa'lante and our partners at ACLU of Florida and Engage Miami submitted our post-trial brief to the federal court - completing the evidentiary phase of our case against racial gerrymandering in South Florida.

This means our argument is now in the hands of a three-judge federal panel. We've laid out our case. We've shown the evidence. Now we wait for their ruling.

For the Cuban American and Latine communities in South Florida whose representation has been deliberately fragmented - this moment matters. Hispanic voters are not a monolith. Our communities deserve maps that reflect who we actually are, not maps designed to divide us.

This fight has been years in the making. We're not done. But today is a milestone. Pa'lante. ▶▶

Follow along for updates as the case moves toward a ruling. Share this with your family and friends who need to know this is happening.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: We’re taking Florida to court!🚨

Hola familia! Cubanos Palante is stepping up to fight for fair maps and fair representation.

Florida’s latest redistricting? Yeah, it’s a hot mess of gerrymandering that silences our communities and dilutes our voices. But guess what? We’re not having it.

Together with Engage Miami and ACLU of Florida we filed a lawsuit to hold the state accountable and demand maps that reflect *us*—our diversity, our stories, and our power. This isn’t just about lines on a map; it’s about justice, equity, and making sure every vote and voice counts.

Join us in this fight! Share this post, spread the word, and let’s show Florida what happens when we come together.
