venceremos

In October 2003, Bush formed a new “transition commission” headed by Secretary of State Powell to study further ways to overthrow the Cuban Revolution. Bush ordered hundreds of Homeland Security agents to interrogate and harass more than 44,000 legal travelers on their way to Cuba. Several organizational religious licenses have been suspended. Criminal investigations against unnamed organizations have been ordered. Top Administration flunkies have made slanderous attacks on Cuba with no evidence whatsoever. Candidates for office in Florida speak openly of favoring an invasion of Cuba and millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars continue to be appropriated for the subversion of the Cuban government.

The Venceremos Brigade is completely opposed to all these policies. In July 2004, the VB joined with IFCO-Pastors for Peace in what was an even bigger, more successful Travel Challenge. Now, more than ever, is the time to join a VB contingent as we exercise our constitutional right to travel and our right as human beings to learn about Cuban society and to create friendships with Cuban people. Recent Contingents spent time in Cuba’s two most important cities--Santiago de Cuba and Havana. Our trip had have a special concentration on the African roots of Cuban history and contemporary society.
