Global Action for Ayotzinapa Eight Months on May 26

Global Action for Ayotzinapa

After eight months of the Ayotzinapa student teachers’ disappearance, we would like to draw your attention to one of the student activists who was not part of the 43 disappeared – but who nonetheless was very much a part of the ongoing activism – and is very much alive in our search for justice.

On this eighth month, we want you to share the joy of Julio César Mondragón’s life, as well as the awareness and pain of his death.

Through En Pie de Lucha’s performance, we want to tell you his story, ”Todos Somos Tu Rostro/We Are All Your Face”, a day in the life in this normal school of Ayotzinapa. You can also read more about Mondragón here.

And to end things off, we will again try to light Japanese paper balloons, as we keep demanding that our disappeared brothers are returned to us, alive.

We hope you will join us. We hope the media will come to pay homage to our lost brethren. Together, we can make a difference!

Global Action for Ayotzinapa

Convocamos a la población de Dallas/Fort Worth a unirse a nuestro evento mensual, Acción Global por Ayotzinapa, el martes 26 de mayo a las 7 pm en el Puente Blanco — o el Continental Bridge en la 1001 Continental Street Via.

Después de ocho meses de la desaparición de estos maestros/estudiantes de Ayotzinapa, nos gustaría llamar su atención a uno de los activistas que no forma parte de los 43 desaparecidos – pero sin embargo forma una parte indispensable del mismo activismo que se encuentra muy vivo en nuestra búsqueda por dicha justicia.

En este octavo mes, queremos compartir la alegría de la vida de Julio César Mondragón, así como la toma de conciencia y el dolor de su muerte.

A través de la actuación de En Pie de Lucha, queremos contarle su historia, ”Todos Somos Tu Rostro/We Are All Your Face”, un día en la vida de esta escuela normal en Ayotzinapa. También pueden leer más sobre él aquí.

Y para terminar, trataremos otra vez de soltar al aire globos de papel al estilo japonés, simbolizando con esta acción que seguimos exigiendo la presentación con vida de nuestros hermanos desaparecidos…

Esperamos que todos vengan a mostrar que este es un día especial. Esperamos también que los medios de comunicación vengan a rendir homenaje a nuestros hermanos perdidos.

Juntos, ¡podremos hacer una gran diferencia!

About Ana Maria Fores Tamayo

Ana Maria Fores Tamayo is ABD in Comparative Literature from New York University, though she presently lives in Texas. She never completed her Ph.D. because motherhood got in the way: tenure and parenting do not mix. Thus she switched fields and worked in academic publishing for many years. She missed academia, however, and decided to return, only to find the Ivory Tower inhospitable to most educators. It did not take her long to take up their cause, beginning a petition for adjunct faculty, now with over 10,000 signatures. This grew into a Facebook forum for like-minded individuals to connect and organize. The past few years, Fores Tamayo expanded her work to reach out to those rendered invisible. She is trying to raise awareness of these marginalized peoples in order to erase borders. Her labor naturally grew from her work with students: DREAMers, undocumented students, and eventually asylum seekers from Mexico and Central America. Although this is heart-wrenching work, it is at the same time quite satisfying, being able to help others one to one. Working with diverse populations too, she is trying to make sure the disenfranchised become strong and have their voices heard. Her work can be seen in the Dallas/Fort Worth Refugee Support Network.
