Dear Friends:

Many thanks to our supporters from throughout the world! We are gratified and deeply moved by the speed and efficiency that all of you demonstrated as you called Washington, your legislators, the press, your phone trees and email lists. It has been astonishing to see the exposure and the support that the 16th Friendshipment Caravan has received!

As you have probably heard by now, most of the aid and caravan participants have crossed the border into Mexico and are on their way to Tampico! They will deliver their solidarity, their love and their cargo to Cuba within the next few days. They could not have accomplished this immense task without the support of our network in the US and abroad. Thank you!

 

But the struggle is not over! There are still a handful of Pastors for Peace here in Texas with computers and other items that we believe the Commerce Department will seize. We are determined to deliver this humanitarian aid to Cuba. We are united in our mission to break this blockade!

We need your continued support to make this happen! So keep making those phone calls! Keep the momentum going! Our spirits are high and our resolve is deep. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Rev. Lucius Walker, Jr.
