I'm now looking to see if Lucius Walker and IFCO/Pastors for Peace link to Sojourners or Call to Renewal, left-wing religious groups connected with John Kerry's Religious Outreach Director Mara Vanderslice. Here are some articles from Sojourners' magazine covering Walker and IFCO/Pastors for Peace:

Martha Orianna Baskin, "The civil rights struggle goes Cuban", Sojourners, September-October 1994

Unwilling to abandon the bus, 13 "caravanistas," including Rev. Lucius Walker Jr., executive director of Pastors for Peace, initiated a hunger strike in the tradition of other acts of civil disobedience. After 23 days, the White House gave in to enormous grassroots and international pressure and allowed the bus to be taken to Cuba.

Julienne Gage and Aaron Gallegos, "Between the Lines: Fasting for Life", Sojourners, July-August 1996

On January 31, Pastors for Peace attempted to take 325 used computers across the Mexican border from San Diego to be donated to Cuban hospitals, in intentional violation of the U.S. economic embargo. . .Rev. Lucius Walker, Lisa Valenti, and Jim Clifford ended their fast when the remaining computers were released on May 24.
