NOTE THE NEW LOCATION – IN ST. PAUL!!
Not a caravan but a Bannering for Cuba!

Bring your banners, signs, flags and join us!
 
Background: Miami-based Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) to show our love for Cuba has nationwide monthly caravans and was the first to organize them.
-End the U.S. Blockade of Cuba-Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism
We focus on ending the 60 year U.S. blockade on Cuba and the continuation of Cuba on the list of nations that the U.S. designates as “terrorist.”
More than 10,000 people and 100 progressive advocacy groups have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to end the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.
The international outcry against the U.S. intentional starvation blockade of Cuba is growing. These actions powerfully refute the claims by anti-Cuba Senators Marco Rubio, Robert Menendez and Ted Cruz.
Now in their third year, the public bike and car caravans that started in Miami, and led by Cuban-Americans, have broken up that myth
