HUMANITARIAN CARAVANS

On June 14th, a school bus left Maine for McAllen, Texas, carrying humanitarian donations and a few Maine people determined to break the blockade against Cuba. They will then travel, along with other vhicles, to Tampico, Mexico, the jumping off place for Cuba with the Pastors for Peace Friendshipment Caravan. See their blog for the latest news:

US-Cuba Friendshipment Caravan Blog

Every year since 1992 the caravans have demonstrated against the injustice of the U.S. economic blockade against Cuba. Let Cuba Live has been involved from the very beginning. The bus this year is named "Fernando" after one of the Cuban Five prisoners unjustly held in U.S. jails.

Recent Past Events

•  The documentary "Mission Against Terror" was shown by Bernie Dwyer, one of the filmmakers, and Father Geoffrey Bottoms, international justice advocate, at several locations in Maine with assistance from LetCubaLive members. The film tells the story of terrorism against Cuba organized in Florida and how five Cuban men were defending their nation when arrested. The injustice of their trial, the cruelty of their sentences, and the suffering visited upon their families come across loud and clear. It's a story too of constancy and dedication to ideals.
