USA Welcomes Caravana43: Todos Somos Ayotzinapa!

I want to let you all know that finally the Caravana43 will enter the USA with the parents and students of the disappeared normalistas of Ayotzinapa.

Caravana43

They will be crossing the border on Thursday, March 19th, and then they will break off into three contingents to drive through the country.

Caravana43 Pacific
For WestCoast‬‪ friends interested in ‪Caravana43‬, these will be cities ‪Ayotzinapa‬ ‪contingent‬ will be touring in west!

I will place these maps here altogether, so that if you are in any of these cities, you will seek these places out, check out where they are holding events, and go to them, so you become aware. See larger versions of these images at Adjunct Justice too.

Caravana43 Central
Caravana43‬ will be coming soon! These are the cities they will be touring from the central region: check them out!

It is our duty to know what we are doing not only to our students here in the United States, but also to the world at large. When the world forgets about the higher truths, and only thinks about itself and the power it can hold, it leads only to corruption and violence.

On December 2nd, Omar García told us during our first livestream, “They are after not only our education. They will destroy all sectors of society.”

We need to listen!

Caravana43 Atlantic
Ayotzinapa‬ families will visit these cities in the ‪Atlantic‬ region!

I have talked about the countless deaths in Mexico, the thousands of disappeared, kidnapped, mutilated. They are not only from Mexico, however. They also belong to the migrants traveling north who are displaced, because the corrupt are seeking power by any means necessary.

They do not care whom they hurt.

We are all complicit if we do nothing, if we learn nothing of our neighbors.

So we need to become aware.

We cannot close down our borders. We are not an unfeeling people. We need to open our hearts, our minds.

Besos, not Borders
Ana M. Fores Tamayo, Adjunct Justice

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.
