60,000 Pounds of Aid to Cuba & August 2026 Delegation

Dear SendMeYourNews,

On May 1, Trump signed yet another Executive Order targeting Cuba. This imposes the harshest set of sanctions on Cuba yet - directly attacking remaining economic lifelines. The new sanctions will significantly disrupt Cuba’s ability to trade goods and fuel with any country, compounding the effects of the existing blockade. Trump has also openly, boldly threatened military invasion of the island. We reject escalations of the U.S. blockade and demand a stop to the military threats on Cuba!


Our two upcoming solidarity projects are critical: a major shipment of aid and our August 2026 delegation to Cuba.

This summer, IFCO is filling and shipping a 60,000 pound container to our siblings in Cuba. We will fill the container with highly needed:

  • medical equipment
  • surgical supplies
  • over-the-counter medicines
  • essential toiletries and hygiene goods
  • nonperishable food
  • school supplies
  • bicycles


We are fundraising with a goal of at least $50,000 for this major initiative. Will you adopt a cubic foot of the container for $50?

Come to Cuba with us! August 6-14, 2026

IFCO Pastors for Peace is hosting a solidarity delegation to Cuba this August. We will bring down aid and exchange with our Cuban neighbors facing the harshest set of sanctions in decades. We will head down during the centennial celebration of Fidel Castro, raising the banner of solidarity. The people of the United States are in movement against endless wars and sanctions, ICE, and billionaire rule. Our delegation will stand with the Cuban people who are in the same movement for justice.


Complete the interest form and we will be in touch soon with more information!

RECAP: Education Tour - NJ, Raleigh, NY

We extend our deepest gratitude to our hosts in Orange, NJ, Raleigh, Buffalo, Geneva, and Maui, Hawaii (virtual) on our educational fundraiser tour. So far, we have raised nearly $10,000 towards the humanitarian aid container project for Cuba this summer. We have met with communities who are building the movement everyday in resisting endless war at home and abroad. This weekend May 9th, we have another event in Philadelphia - RSVP here. Look out for upcoming dates in Texas, the West Coast, and the Midwest.


As always, thank you for your support. We rely on each other to ensure our projects become a reality.


Solidarity in Struggle,

IFCO Pastors for Peace
