On Friday July 9 the Pastors for Peace Cuba Caravan arrives in Ashland, as part of the 13 routes touring 130 cities in the US and Canada, en route to Havana! This annual project is a challenge to the US government's blockade and travel ban aimed at undermining the Cuban government. Caravan members extend the hand of friendship and solidarity to the Cuban people, as ambassadors for a "people-to-people" foreign policy based on mutual respect.
