Challenging the Travel Ban
The U.S. Government has been involed in a decades-long effort to prevent its citizens and residents from traveling to Cuba. One alleged reason is to prevent people from the U.S. from "trading with the enemy". The real reasons are to isolate Cuba polittically and economically, and to prevent people - progressives and activists especially - from seeing the reality of CUba, including its tremendous successes, for themselves.
Several organizations have been at the forefront of challenging this travel ban, including:
Venceremos Brigade : Organizes annual 2-week trips to Cuba since 1969
IFCO/Pastors for Peace : Organizes annual US-Cuba Friendshipment caravan
U.S.-Cuba Laor Exchange
Solidarity Movement in the U.S.
