I decided to collect articles and videos from Dallas as the Caravana 43 contingent from Ayotzinapa came through our city.
Trying to place them all together in one place for easy access, my colleague Vanessa Vaile from Precarious Faculty -- an invaluable educator and friend -- helped me incredulously in getting this huge list together.
But I am sure there are a lot more articles and other telling bits of information.
Please let me know what they are: post them here, add to our growing list, so that we have a repository for the great activism and awareness we so need to achieve -- the movement we are trying to bring forth -- so that everyone becomes aware that the disappearance of 43 students is now much more than these 43 students. It marks the disappearance of these 43 plus 25 thousand more. And with them, it also recognizes that over 100,000 have been lost to the horror of drug-related violence and crime.
But what is worst is that this travesty is condoned, accepted, even propagated by those in power.
This movement, Ayotzinapa with the Caravana 43, concerns the insolence of a government that made the mistake to think that its people -- because they were poor -- could be bought.
What this government did not bother to think about, too late of course, is that when they decided to go against the Escuela Normal Rural Raúl Isidro Burgos (better known as the Escuela Normal Rural de Ayotzinapa), they were striking out against a school seeded in revolutionary thought.
At this point, the students of Ayotzinapa have made their mark in the world; the disappeared normalistas have sprouted seeds and the 43 have become millions.
It is up to us, however, to continue to spread these seeds, because through our education, through our teaching, we can germinate the world with hope.

Caravana43: Ayotzinapa to USA
“The main aim is to provide an international forum for the parents who have lost their children in a government of systemic violence and impunity. Another important goal of the caravana is to shed light on US foreign policy, specifically the Merida Initiative and its connection to socioeconomic conditions and violence in Mexico. – #Caravana43”
Mexican group, visiting Dallas, demands answers on 43 missing students
Allegations of corruption, police abuse, cartel violence and mishandling of the investigation by Mexico’s president dominate protests and vigils. The protest slogan “You took them alive; alive we want them back” makes it difficult for government leaders to put the kidnappings behind them.
Tlatempa Bello, a homemaker, doesn’t believe her son is dead.
“He is alive,” she said. “All of them are alive.”

“Although 43 lives were lost, it is much more than that. There are over 25 thousand disappeared, over 100 thousand murdered because of drug-related crimes and violence. And it includes much more than Mexico, although Mexico is central to this case. It includes all disenfranchised people, all marginalized poor, all people who have no power.”
Piden manifestantes no olvidar a los 43 de Ayotzinapa
"Pero los padres y activistas afirman no creer versiones del gobierno hasta que este presente a los desaparecidos o sus cuerpos.
Activistas en ambos lados de la frontera respaldan las preocupaciones de los familiares de los estudiantes.
“No solo son los 43, sino los 5,000, los 25,000, los 100,000 que están desaparecidos, y no solamente en México”, dijo Ana Fores Tamayo con la organización de maestros Adjunct Justice."
Ayotzinapa Families Bring Their Struggle to the U.S.
March 26th will mark six months since the students forcibly disappeared in Iguala, Guerrero in September. This atrocious attack set off a crisis that now pits Mexico's ruling elites against a powerful justice movement that directly questions their legitimacy.
Is social media fuelling a Mexican Spring?
But all of his hashtags seem to mobilise righteous anger against the government, and particularly President Enrique Pena Nieto, for all of Mexico's complex problems.
I ask him: is he peddling a simplified solution to people desperate to reduce violence in their country?

Wow! A links lollapalooza. It came out well. I just shared it on my G+ stream too. PS I have earlier links about the history of the rural Normalistaschools and the Ayotzinapa in particular.
ReplyDeleteWe must not let our colleagues forget that this massacre is government sanctioned violence against educators questioning the system. No matter how set they are on dismissing this as irrelevant, if only for that point alone, they dare not.
