Once again, Pastors for Peace is gearing up to defy the US embargo on Cuba by delivering aid to the island without a license. And once again, one of the legs of the caravan will start in Duluth. Come on out to support Pastors for Peace and shake your salsa thang!

This year we're lucky to hear from Ellen Bernstein, a long-time staffperson at the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organizing (IFCO) who has traveled to Cuba dozens of times, most recently leading an April tour of the island by members of the Congressional Black Caucus. She also works with the Latin American School of Medicine to recruit low-income students in the US to study medicine on a full scholarship in Havana.
