SMYNews: SendMeYourNews: 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.

to join the delegation, fill out the interest form below

and if you can't travel this time - send some aid!

DONATE TO THE CONTAINER

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!
