guardian.co.uk: "Paseo de la Reforma, one of Mexico City's most emblematic streets and home to frequent celebrations and protests, was overrun on Sunday with nearly 5,000 people clamouring for peace. As the crowd made its way to the president's residence and then to the senate, middle-class men and woman mingled with street vendors selling everything from tamales to t-shirts. The protest, opposing a law that legally sanctions President Felipe Calderón's militarisation of the war on drugs, was led by Mexican poet and leading activist Javier Sicilia."
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
