Washington, January 30 (RHC) –- The activist group CODEPINK will be hosting a “super delegation” of 150 people to Cuba from February 8th to the 15th to mark the recent thawing in U.S.-Cuba relations, particularly the easing of travel restrictions.

Timed for Valentine’s Day, the “To Cuba With Love” delegation will include some of the U.S.'s most dynamic activists, including leaders from the peace and justice movements, environmental, health care and LGBTQ communities and representatives from Ferguson, Missouri, working on police accountability.

The delegation will have high-level meetings with government officials, visit members of the Cuban 5 who were recently released from U.S. prison, talk to doctors who combat Ebola in Africa, meet with entrepreneurs about new business possibilities and interact with local people on cultural, economic, environmental, educational, agricultural and health care issues.

Numerous delegates have been involved with Cuban/U.S. issues for years –- lobbying, protesting, advocating for the closure of Guantanamo Bay prison, setting up sister cities and committing civil disobedience by openly challenging the travel restrictions.
