demand human rights without borders in the u.s., mexico...

apologies for the lack of new content but the primary site caretaker has been very ill...

mexican president felipe calderón will be in the united states between february 10-14 to call attention to the abusive treatment of mexican migrants in the united states ranging from arbitrary detentions and mass deportations, to the militarization of our shared border. ..while i applauds such efforts, i believe the mexican government needs to make a stonger commitment to ending serious human rights violations in mexico...meanwhile the u.s. congress considers a bulky aid package for central america and mexico, known as the “merida initiative” which so far would send $950 million to mexican institutions known for being abusive...

human rights have no boundaries - tell mexican and u.s. officials to put human rights at the core of their policies...

peace out <3
