Cuba Friendship 'Inter-dependence' Day Celebration

5:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Cuba Friendship 'Inter-dependence' Day Celebration The Cuba Friendship Group of Greater Ithaca is holding a July 4th 'Inter-dependence Day' event to welcome the 18th Pastors for Peace "Friendshipment" caravan to Cuba. The event starts at 5 pm at the large pavilion in Stewart Park with a dish to pass. Inter-dependence with all other people on the planet, with no exception for Cuba, is the theme. Ellen Bernstein, who has organized 16 Congressional delegations to Cuba, will be the featured speaker. As Associate Director of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (IFCO), Bernstein continues to play a major role in all of Pastors for Peace's unfolding Cuba work. Caravaners from Buffalo and Toronto will also be welcomed. They will be continuing all the way to Cuba, challenging current US policy. A proposed three-way sister city partnership involving Ithaca, NY, Cienfugos, Cuba, and Kingston, Ontario will also be discussed. RSVP via the group's web site ithacacubafriendship.blogspot.com or call Cris at 387-9830 or Kathy at 273-4523.
