This year marks the 20th anniversary of the annual U.S.-Cuba Friendshipment Caravan, sponsored by IFCO/Pastors for Peace. For two decades, the caravan has been challenging the criminal U.S. blockade of Cuba. The Caravan travels throughout the U.S. and Canada every year collecting supplies and equipment for the Cuban people. The drivers stop in dozens of cities to educate the U.S. public about the effects of the blockade.

Pictured here are two volunteers in Queens, N.Y., who helped to load medical equipment into Caravan vehicles. The Caravan has brought thousands of volunteers and tons of humanitarian aid to Cuba over the years as part of a direct challenge to the blockade.
