Supporters greet caravan headed to Cuba
Published Jul 17, 2011 7:10 AM
Rev. Luis Barrios of IFCO/Pastors for Peace and other caravanistas made a
stop in Milwaukee, Wis., on July 8 at the Central United Methodist Church.
There they met other friends of Cuba, gathered supplies and enjoyed a dinner
and evening forum where presenters talked about the U.S. economic blockade of
Cuba and other topics regarding the socialist nation.
A special guest of honor was Milwaukee resident Joya Mosely, who is one of the
U.S. students receiving free medical education in Cuba. After the
presentations, everyone joined in packing the bus with supplies which had been
stored at the church.
The caravanistas on this bus include an array of working people. The bus is on
its way south to Mexico where all the supplies gathered by caravans traveling
throughout the U.S. will be loaded onto ships bound for Cuba. There are 47
caravan events in 25 states and Washington, D.C.
On July 9 a similar event took place in Racine, Wis. The Wisconsin Coalition to
Normalize Relations with Cuba sponsored both events. The Racine activity was
also co-sponsored by the Racine/Kenosha Central American Solidarity Coalition
and the Racine Coalition for Peace and Justice. For more information, see
