Event description: 

Every year Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba and our supporters join the Caravan at the border to wave our Cuban flags and hold signs challenging the US blockade on Cuba. Every year the US border services have the legal right to refuse the caravan entry to the US. We need a strong presence at the border to ensure the border service agency will let the Cuba bound Caravan through!

** RIDES will be organized from Vancouver, please phone 778-882-5223 or 604-719-6947 if you would like a ride to the border.

LISA VALENTI - National President of the U.S.-Cuba Sister Cities Association and participant in all 20 Pastors for Peace Caravans to Cuba, including a successful hunger strike for 94 days to release U.S.-seized aid bound for Cuba

Co-organized with: Victoria Goods for Cuba Campaign, Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba, the Free the Cuban 5 Committee-Vancouver and other groups and Cuba-lovers from Washington!
