This Saturday June 27, the Pastors for Peace Caravan to Cuba is leaving Vancouver, crossing the U.S./Canada border to begin its journey down to Cuba! It would be great if you could join us at Peace Arch Park for the border crossing this year. As you know, and some of you were there, at the border crossing 3 years ago all of the aid was stopped at the border and was only allowed through after 24hrs of protesting and a big media campaign. We need your support again this year! I will be arranging a carpool from Victoria to Vancouver so if you would like to join us but need a ride please email or call me and we can arrange it.The email announcement for the border crossing is below.

LET'S BREAK THE U.S. BLOCKADE ON CUBA!
December 17, 2014 was a historic day, US President Barack Obama and
Cuban President Raul Castro both announced the first steps towards
restablishing diplomatic ties between the US and Cuba after over 50 years of US
hostility towards Cuba. However, despite ongoing negotiations and some
important steps forward, the US government is still refusing to lift its cruel
and inhuman blockade against Cuba.
The Pastors for Peace Caravan to Cuba is a U.S.-based Cuba solidarity project
that each summer brings humanitarian aid and U.S. citizens to Cuba to challenge
the U.S. Blockade and travel ban against Cuba.
Cuba solidarity organizations across Canada have supported the Caravan since
the beginning over two decades ago. Cuba solidarity activists and Caravan
supporters from across British Columbia and Washington State will once again
join the Caravan by supporting the border crossing at Peace Arch Park. We will be
bringing humanitarian aid and Caravan participants across the U.S/Canada border
on route to Cuba!
The Peace Arch border crossing has been the scene of several important recent
victories against the U.S. Blockade on Cuba. Notably, the 2012 border crossing
became an international event when U.S. border officials repeatedly
attempted to deny our humanitarian aid from crossing the border. However, by
launching an emergency media campaign, legal challenge and extended
demonstration on both sides of the border we forced them to allow the aid
through. We need a strong presence at the border to ensure our humanitarian aid
will cross again this year!
>> Rain or Shine!
>> The event will include a potluck lunch (please bring a dish to share
if you can!)

WHAT IS THE PASTORS FOR PEACE CARAVAN TO CUBA? This summer for the 26th time,
the Pastors for Peace Friendshipment Caravan to Cuba will challenge the United
States government’s economic and travel blockade on Cuba, that has been imposed
on the Cuban people for over 50 years.
The Caravan will travel through up to 100 cities in the U.S. and Canada,
raising awareness about the U.S. blockade and gathering humanitarian aid to
take to Cuba. After two weeks of travelling through the U.S. there is a
blockade busting border crossing into Mexico. Caravanistas will then travel
through Mexico and depart for nine days in Cuba, participating in a variety of
educational and cultural events.
Over the past 25 Caravans thousands of participants and over 30,000 tons of
humanitarian aid have been brought to Cuba, building a ‘people-to-people’
foreign policy based on mutual respect, solidarity and friendship between the
people of the U.S., Canada and Cuba.

¡ÚNANSE A LA
CARAVANA A CUBA DE PASTORES POR LA PAZ 2015!
¡ROMPAMOS EL BLOQUEO CONTRA CUBA!
El 17 de diciembre de 2014 fue un día histórico, el Presidente de Estados
Unidos Barack Obama y el Presidente de Cuba Raúl Castro anunciaron los primeros
pasos para el restablecimiento de lazos diplomáticos entre Estados Unidos y
Cuba luego de 50 años de hostilidad de los Estados Unidos hacia Cuba. Sin
embargo, a pesar de las negociaciones que tienen lugar y algunos pasos de
avance, el gobierno norteamericano aún se rehúsa a levantar su cruel e inhumano
bloqueo contra Cuba.
La Caravana a Cuba de Pastores por la Paz es un proyecto de solidaridad con
Cuba, basado en Estados Unidos, que transporta cada verano ayuda humanitaria y
a ciudadanos norteamericanos para desafiar
el Bloqueo norteamericano y la prohibición de viajes a Cuba. Organizaciones de
Solidaridad con Cuba por todo Canadá han apoyado la Caravana desde el
principio, hace más de dos décadas. Activistas de
solidaridad con Cuba y simpatizantes de la Caravana de todo Columbia Británica
y el estado de Washington se unirán de nuevo a la Caravana apoyando el cruce de
frontera en el Peace Arch Park.
¡Traeremos ayuda humanitaria
y participantes en la Caravana a través de la frontera de Estados Unidos y
Canadá, rumbo a Cuba! El cruce de frontera en Peace Arch ha sido el escenario de
recientes victorias importantes contra el Bloqueo de EE.UU. hacia Cuba. Notablemente,
el cruce de 2012 se convirtió en un evento internacional cuando funcionarios
fronterizos de EE.UU. intentaron de manera repetida impedir que nuestra ayuda
humanitaria cruzara la frontera. Sin embargo, al lanzar una campaña mediática
de emergencia, retos legales y extendidas protestas a ambos lados de la
frontera, los obligamos a que dejaran pasar la ayuda. ¡Necesitamos una fuerte presencia
en la frontera para asegurar que nuestra ayuda humanitaria logre cruzar!
>> ¡Bajo
lluvia o sol!
>> El evento
incluirá un almuerzo potluck (¡por favor, traiga un plato para compartir si
puede!)

¿QU´ÇE ES LA CARAVANA A CUBA DE PASTORES POR LA PAZ? Este verano, por 26ta ocasión, la Caravana a
Cuba de la Amistad Pastores por la Paz desafiará el bloqueo económico y de
viaje de Estados Unidos contra Cuba, que ha sido impusto al pueblo cubano por
más de 50 años. La Caravana viajará a través de hasta 100 ciudades en Estados
Unidos y Canadá, creando consciencia del bloqueo de Estados Unidos y
recolectando ayuda humanitaria para llevar a Cuba. Luego de dos semanas de
viajar por todo Estados Unidos, hay un cruce de frontera para golpear al
bloqueo en México. Los Caravanistas viajarán entonces
por México y viajar a Cuba por nueve días, participando en una variedad de
eventos educacionales y culturales. Durante 25 Caravanas, miles de
participantes y más de 30 mil toneladas de ayuda humanitarian han sido
transportados a Cuba, creando una política exterior “pueblo-a-pueblo” basada en
el respeto mutuo, la solidaridad y la amistad entre los pueblos de Estados
Unidos, Canadá y Cuba.
