Chico Peace and Justice Center

The Pastors for Peace Friendshipment Caravan to Cuba visited Chico on Tuesday, July 3, 2007. A gathering was held in the garden at the Chico Peace and Justice Center. Richard Becker from the International Action Center was the keynote speaker. The event included an Indian feast, music and a short movie about the work of Pastors for Peace.
In July 2007 the 18th Friendshipment will travel on 14 different routes to visit more than 120 US and Canadian cities. The caravan members will travel in school buses, trucks, and cars to Cuba via Mexico with medical and educational supplies collected from groups across the US and Canada as a collective challenge to the blockade and travel ban. This year the focus is helping the elderly in need.
