thestar.com: "MEXICO CITY—The struggle for peace and justice continues in Mexico, poet Javier Sicilia told his supporters in the city’s main square Friday. Sicilia, leader of the Mexican Movement for Peace and Justice, entered Zocalo square to shouts of “the fight continues.”
His movement of around 600 people has been travelling through some of the country’s most violent states to demand an end to Mexico’s war on drugs which has cost an estimated 45,000 lives since President Felipe Calderon took office in 2006."
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.
