Successful fund-raiser
On July 14th, 2012 the New York Puerto Rican community came together for a special evening — A New York Night with Oscar Lopez Rivera, an evening where we celebrated the life of one of our most treasured compatriots, Puerto Rican Political, Oscar Lopez Rivera, who has endured more than 31 years of imprisonment.
The event dedicated to fundraising for Mr. Lopez’s campaign, was filled with salsa dancing as the crowd of several hundred jammed to Aurora Flores’ Latin salsa band, Zon Del Barrio. Great music was also provided by New York’s DJ Laylo and DJ Asho. The evening would not have been possible without the support of some of New York’s labor unions and for that the committee of this event was extremely grateful.
