13th Aid Caravan to Cuba Defies Crackdown on Havana by Bush White House
Interview with the Rev. Lucius Walker, founder and director of IFCO, Pastors for Peace, by Denise Manzari
A caravan of vehicles, packed with medical, other aid and carrying almost 100 volunteers from across the United States, Mexico, Canada and Europe, have converged in San Antonio, Texas. They will cross the border into Mexico and load the aid onto a freighter which will set sail for Cuba.
Initiated by Pastors for Peace, a project of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization, the caravan, now in its 10th year, was organized in defiance of the 42-year-old U.S. blockade of Cuba, which requires a U.S. Treasury license to send aid to the people of Cuba.
Caravan organizers also plan to return to the United States with Cuban-manufactured goods to underscore what they regard as the detrimental effects of the embargo on the people of the U.S.
Despite the Bush Administration's recent reinforcement of restrictions on U.S. citizens traveling to Cuba, the group is risking fines and imprisonment by delivering humanitarian assistance to the Cuban people.
Lucius Walker is the founder and executive producer of IFCO/Pastors for Peace. He spoke with Denise Manzari about his group's continued opposition to U.S. government policy toward Cuba.
