Washington : The next Pastors for Peace Caravan to Cuba will be on the road on June/July visiting more than 120 US and Canadian cities along 14 routes.
It will collect donations of medical and educational supplies all across the US and Canada as a collective challenge to the inhuman and immoral US blockade and travel ban, said organizers.
Five of the buses will be named in honor of the Five Cuban patriots unjustly incarcerated in US jails.
Caravan participants will spend 8 days in Cuba attending cultural events and visiting social projects such as organic farms, elderly persons´ homes and health centers, including the Latin American School of Medicine.
This year’s caravan will also host the second Hiphop Without Borders Exchange. Accompanying the caravan will be many hiphop artists to participate in an international hiphop festival, as well as carrying turntables, keyboards and other musical equipment to support Cuban hiphop.
Together with the caravan there will be other travel challenges undertaken by the Venceremos Brigade and the US-Cuba Labor Exchange. On July 14th all will return to the US proudly acknowledging that they challenged the US travel ban.
That’s the intentions, but it needs supporters, a network, to make it happen, say organizers who call on US interested residents to contact them through [email protected].
