The Pastors for Peace Caravan to Cuba is heading on the road again this year and I would like to invite you all to come and support the border crossing event that will be happening this Sunday July 6th. As you know, 2 years ago we were stopped at the border and told our humanitarian aid would not be allowed cross. It was only after over 24 hours of protest that the aid was allowed through. The more supporters of Cuba and the Caravan there are at the border the stronger our voice will be to make sure that all the aid gets across the border this year and on its way to Cuba. I will be organizing a car pool to and from the border for people who would like to come and participate. If you are interested, please call me at
It's your last chance! Help us stay in touch
