Ayotzinapa Caravana43 Dallas

Dallas for Ayotzinapa Coalition would like to formally request your presence on Sunday, March 22, at the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge – El Puente Blanco – a symbolic place for us in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. We invite you to meet with representatives of the Ayotzinapa community: students, parents, relatives, and advocates from Mexico. On this bridge, where all our actions supporting the relatives of the forcibly disappeared Ayotzinapa students have taken place, we will hold a formal press conference between 10 AM and noon so you can discuss with Caravana 43 members what has brought them to the United States.

We welcome all questions.

This invitation is extended to all legislators and public servants in the DFW area. We hope you will share the stage with our Caravana 43 guests and open dialogue with them, so that we can continue towards much needed progress.

In case of rain, all events at the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge – El Puente Blanco – will be held at the Plaza de las Américas address in the flyer above.

En este puente – donde han tenido lugar todas nuestras acciones apoyando los familiares de los estudiantes de Ayotzinapa en la denuncia de su desaparición por la fuerza – celebraremos una rueda de prensa entre las 10 de la mañana hasta el mediodía, para que los miembros de la Caravana 43 puedan discutir con ustedes lo que les ha traído a los Estados Unidos.

Cualquier pregunta sobre su caso es bienvenida.

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.
