El Mejunje Event: Lesbians and Allies Project 
One of the main accomplishments of the September 2014 women's delegation to Cuba was a gathering of lesbians and allies at El Mejunje in the historic city of Santa Clara to launch the work of the Lesbians and Allies Project. The genesis for this project was laid years ago when we first formed the Collaboration with one of our goals being to learn how the Cuban women's movement and Cuban government were addressing issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. As a result of a growing network of grassroots lesbian organizations in Cuba spearheaded by CENESEX, the Collaboration was able to hold this important meeting. The article that follows is by Moon Vazquez, Collaboration National Steering Committee Member, and Marjorie Richards, 2014 Delegate, on their reflections about this memorable gathering and discussion.
