“It is a policy of trying to starve somebody into submission…”
~ Richard Becker on Cuba Blockade
Pastors For Peace
What is the Cuba Caravan? On 14 separate routes, participants and vehicles travel through the US and Canada, making pre-arranged stops in cities along the way. Speakers discuss what is happening in Cuba and the purpose of the trip.
Humanitarian aid is gathered, consisting of medical and educational supplies and equipment, and also computers, bicycles, tools and sports equipment. These are items difficult or very expensive to obtain in Cuba, due to the 45-year-long economic blockade imposed by the US government.
This project offers concerned US citizens an opportunity to demonstrate solidarity, and an alternative foreign policy based on justice and mutual respect, towards our neighbor country, only 90 miles away.
