Saturday, July 7: at Central United Methodist Church (639 N. 25th St., Milw.): 6:00 pm potluck, 7:00 pm program: Welcome the 22nd Annual Caravan to Cuba as it stops in Milwaukee! 2012 marks 22 years of the caravan’s solidarity with the Cuban people! Every year, Pastors for Peace, along with caravanistas from around the country (and world), embark on a journey to Cuba — without a license — and bring material aid to the Cuban people in an act of civil disobedience against the immoral U.S. blockade. Our speaker is a journalist and leader of Canada’s First Nation Metis population, Aaron Mercredi (bio below). Join us for an evening of good food, friends, and music!
