HAVANA, Cuba, Jun 9 (acn) The 21st United States-Cuba Friendshipment Caravan will tour 130 cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico starting next July 3 to 22.

According to the website of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization IFCO/Pastors for Peace, the caravan will travel in school buses, trucks and cars along 13 different routes, visiting 130 US and Canadian cities where "the text reads" they will educate people about the almost 50-year-old US economic blockade of the island while collecting construction supplies and tools, medical supplies and equipment, educational and cultural supplies, to be donated to Cuba.

"From Texas we will travel to Cuba via Mexico, without asking for or accepting a US government license, as a disciplined collective challenge to the blockade and travel ban, and as ambassadors for a `people-to-people' foreign policy based in mutual respect.

When we return to the US, we will proudly declare our travel to Cuba and our opposition to the immoral blockade," it adds.

"It is the time to completely end the blockade, the travel ban, and all the measures aimed at starving the Cuban people into submission and overthrowing their government.

Our US/Cuba Friendshipment Caravan is one of our ways of demonstrating that we will no longer tolerate this cruel blockade," the note reads.
