Ayotzinapa: Pay Homage to 43 Lives Cut Short!

Ayotzinapa

On Sunday, April 26th at 7 pm, at the Puente Blanco — or the Continental Bridge at 1001 Continental Street Via — please join us in our monthly Global Action For Ayotzinapa!

Get to know the personal history of José Eduardo Bartolo Tlatempa, the disappeared son of María de Jesús Tlatempa, who visited us during the weekend of March 20, during the Caravana43 tour through Dallas, to make people of the US aware of what is going on in Mexico, and how that government is filled with greed and corruption at the highest levels, in collusion with drug cartels. Come and learn about one of the students of the lost 43, as we show a video clip of his life and pay tribute to each individual student, because the 43 are not only a number: they are each a light of hope…

Let us then illuminate — together — the brilliance of 43 lives cut short!

En Pie de Lucha, a Street Performance group that first came together to bring awareness to the plight of the 43 Ayotzinapa normalistas — and the many thousands more disappeared, kidnapped, and murdered throughout Mexico and the Americas — will have a special presentation.

During one part, the group will light the air with Japanese paper balloons, as we keep demanding that our disappeared brothers are returned to us, alive.

So come unite with us, and bring us your support. Only in unity will we gather strength.

“When people die we have to let them go; when they are disappeared, we have to force them back.” Jacobo Silva

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

Conozca la historia personal de José Eduardo Bartolo Tlatempa, el desaparecido hijo de María de Jesús Tlatempa, quien nos visitó en Dallas/Fort Worth el fin de semana del 20 de marzo como parte de la Caravana43, para que los estadounidenses conocieran lo que realmente está pasando en México, y la forma en que el gobierno, lleno de codicia y corrupción a los más altos niveles, colude con los cárteles y narcotraficantes en contra de la población indígena y campesina de zonas rurales. Venga y conozca a uno de los 43 estudiantes desaparecidos, a través de un cortometraje o video clip de su vida, y rinda homenaje con nosotros a cada estudiante, ya que 43 no es sólo un número: cada uno de ellos es luz de esperanza…

Encendamos entonces juntos una luz de esperanza, conmemorando estas 43 vidas interrumpidas…

En Pie de Lucha, un grupo de teatro de la calle formado para tomar conciencia de la difícil situación de los 43 normalistas de Ayotzinapa — y los muchos miles más de desaparecidos, secuestrados y asesinados en México y las Américas — hará una presentación especial.

Como parte del evento, el grupo soltará al aire globos de papel al estilo japonés, simbolizando con esta acción que seguimos exigiendo la presentación con vida de nuestros hermanos desaparecidos…

¡Únase a nosotros, trayendo su apoyo! ¡Sólo con la unidad encontraremos la fuerza!

“Cuando alguien muere se le tiene que dejar ir; cuando es desaparecido se le tiene que hacer volver.” -Jacobo Silva

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.
