WHO IS PASTORS FOR PEACE?
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.
