 Friendshipment Caravan to Cuba will\nchallenge the United States gover
 nment’s economic and travel blockade\non Cuba, that has been imposed
  on the Cuban people for over 50 years.\nThe Caravan will travel throu
 gh up to 140 cities in the U.S. and\nCanada, raising awareness about t
 he U.S. blockade and gathering\nhumanitarian aid to take to Cuba. Afte
 r two weeks of travelling\nthrough the U.S. there is a blockade bustin
 g border crossing into\nMexico. Caravanistas will then travel through 
 Mexico and depart for\nnine days in Cuba, participating in a variety o
 f educational and\ncultural events. This year marks the 20th anniversa
 ry of the Pastors\nfor Peace Caravans to Cuba. Over the past 20 years 
 thousands of\nparticipants and over 30,000 tons of humanitarian aid ha
 ve been\nbrought to Cuba, building a ‘people-to-people’ foreign po
 licy based on\nmutual respect,\nsolidarity and friendship between the 
 people of the U.S., Canada and\nCuba. This Caravan also commemorates R
 ev. Lucius Walker, Jr., the\nfounding director of Pastors for Peace, w
 ho died peacefully in\nSeptember 2010.\nIn British Columbia, Canada, t
 he BC Aid Network for Cuba is coordinating a 6 stop tour along with va
 rious local organizations,\nwhich will include aid collection and even
 ts in Comox, Nanaimo,\nVictoria, Kamloops, Vancouver, as well as the b
