The organizers of the event informed the authorities of the air terminal, the Miami police and the FBI about people and groups that intend to organize provocations and about threats to the physical integrity of the participants, said activist Carlos Lazo on his Facebook page.

This is not an unprecedented procedure, wrote the coordinator of the Puentes de Amor movement, recalling that “previously groups of haters have gone to where there will be caravans and have appeared there to create chaos and violence.”

“The activists of Puentes de Amor -Bridges of Love- and those who fight against the blockade in the United States and in the world will continue to peacefully demonstrate for the end of sanctions against the Cuban family,” stressed the professor living in Seattle.

The Caravan this last Sunday in July follows a tradition that dates back to 2020, every end of the month.

Lazo explained to Prensa Latina that the initiative arose “after the bicycle ride from Seattle to Washington DC, to bring the voice of the fight against the blockade to all the United States and to ask then-President Donald Trump to lift the sanctions against Cuba in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.”

The call for this day invited “all men and women of good will to join the activities that will take place in their city” and “if there is no caravan, be the caravan, raise your voice for the Cuban family.”
