- DEMONSTRATE TO
- SUPPORT THE U.S.-CUBA FRIENDSHIPMENT CARAVAN!
-
- on the day it crosses the border.
-
- On Friday, November 20, the U.S.-Cuba Friendshipment Caravan will
- cross the border into Mexico. The Caravan will travel through over
- 90 cities on 9 routes, collecting food, medicine, bicycles and
- other humanitarian aid for Cuba, before converging in Laredo,
- Texas. From there it will go to the Mexican port of Tampico, where
- it will load the goods onto a Cuban freighter.
-
- The Caravan, initiated by the Pastors for Peace and supported by
- many other individuals and organizations, is an historic challenge
- to three decades of an illegal and immoral U.S. blockade of a small
- nation. The Blockade has recently been tightened by passage of the
- Torricelli bill, supported by both Bush and Clinton.
-
- It is crucial that we show our support for this courageous people-
- to-people effort. Its success will depend on a strong public
- showing of our belief in its goals. On November 20, the day the
- Caravan is scheduled to cross the border, there will be support
- demonstrations in many cities. The San Francisco demonstration
- will be at the U.S. Treasury office, the department which often
- enforces the blockade.
