* What is the Pastors for Peace Caravan?
Since 1992, Pastors for Peace Caravans to Cuba have called
international attention to the cruel and immoral US blockade of Cuba by
traveling from the US to deliver humanitarian aid to the Cuban people,
breaking US law. The blockade causes shortages of food, medicine and
other important supplies for 11.5 million people in Cuba. It is an
immoral policy that uses hunger and disease as political weapons.

Co-organized by: The Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Church
of Vancouver, the Free the Cuban 5 Committee-Vancouver and Vancouver
