To all friends in solidarity with Cuba; in the early morning of Tuesday, July 21, the 20th Pastors for Peace Friendshipment Caravan to Cuba crossed the border into Mexico from the U.S. 

 

Three weeks after the caravan began its journey, we can clearly and loudly say that the caravan has given the 20th blow to the US blockade and all the hateful people who maintain it.

With 100 tonnes of humanitarian aid, around 130 caravanistas, numerous cars, trucks and buses, the caravan broke through the blockade and entered Mexico. It is clear as time passes that as more people become aware of what the blockade truly represents, the US is having a harder time to justify and keep it in place.

 

 

Although the caravan has not completed its journey, the biggest stumbling block of getting out of the US has been passed. We can
celebrate the big victory of the US/Mexico border crossing, but we must keep our eyes on the caravan until all the caravanistas return to their place of origin.

To all the people who contributed financially, donated aid, added your labour, organized events or helped in any other aspect of this caravan, we send a big hug with thanks to all. Without your ongoing support this kind of accomplishment and success would not be possible.
