Moreover, Lazo explained that the U.S. authorities warned him that some could try to infiltrate participants of the caravan, wearing the symbols of the project, to generate violence and later blame any disturbances on the activists.
“Amid this campaign of hatred, exacerbated in recent weeks, there have even been attempts to threaten the lives of those of us who make pilgrimages,” Lazo recalled. The Bridges of Love project started as a small initiative carries out by teacher Carlos Lazo and his students a year ago and evolved into a worldwide solidarity project to advocate for the Cuban family and the end of the U.S. blockade on the island.
