For the peace with justice and dignity
Mexico. – The caravan for the peace with justice and dignity is integrated by Mexican and American organizations, it will travel more than 9 thousand 400 kilometers, it left August 12 in San Diego, California and it is planned to conclude in September 10 in Washington, D.C. They will be carried out different acts in L.A., Phoenix, Tucson, Las Cruces, Albuquerque, Santa Faith, El Paso, and other more points. To this convocation they have adhered to more than 100 groupings of migrants, non government organizations, university boys, independent unions, activists of diverse religions, and local authorities of the diverse entities that the caravan will spend the night. Javier Sicilia added that “this war is darkening all Mexico he has serious responsibilities and The States also has theirs". Certainly there are more than 70 Mexicans participating in this initiative for the peace, among them Kate del Castillo, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu, Diego Luna, and Alfonso Cuaron, together with leaders and political and social of the great city of LA.

In this permanent dialogue with the American civil society by means of the dialogue and peaceful actions, impelling protests to cut the flow of weapons of great power to Mexico. Giving proposals that they sustain the human alternatives and of health with respect to the prohibition of the assault weapons, and guns that they are used by the armed forces and next to all this it is demanded effective strategies as the laundry of money, and a human politics of migration. In these politicians that try to impel the human social fabric in The States impelled by Mexicans and diverse American civil organizations, although as such the Americans in general have not been harassed, and they don't take into account to this social movement that comes from Mexico.

In the current politics’ context that is imposed by The States to the countries of the orb, in their supposition combats to the drug traffic. It is since an impressive and colossal challenge the size of the tragedy the country of the bars and the stars it is carried out a war against the organized crime outside of their frontiers. For both governments involved in this war against the crime, they are sacred cows the laundry of money that comes from the traffic of weapons, the legalization of the illegal aliens in this country, the drug and the smuggling of weapons carried out in both sides of the frontier that share, they are untouchable topics in the bilateral relationships, and they are managed as if they were only property of The States, and Mexico obeys and it puts into practice this political line.

Among those approximately 100 organizations that participate and they support this initiative the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities are (NALACC), net of immigrants' organizations of this hemisphere, the organization national older afroestadounidenses of civil rights (NAACP), the organization of former officials of public security against the prohibition politicians (LEAP), the Alliance for a politics on the Drugs, as well as a wide fan of local organizations in each state. Oscar Chacon, director of NALACC, indicated that “our decision of uniting to the caravan comes from having understood that many of the failures of the politicians from The States are interconnected from the war against the drugs until the highly punitive focus to the human migration, the politicians against the immigrants that promote campaigns of hate, the systematic imprisonment of a growing number of people, especially of the racial minorities."

Perhaps the scandals HSBC, Monex and Sheldon Adelson, are the tip of the iceberg of the great quantity of money that surrounds to the politicians, and the repulsion to investigate the political nexuses it is similar in Washington and in Mexico. The voices of the Progressive Movement insist that they are funds coming from the government, but this argument hides other darker, and it is the support of the cartels of the drug by means of the laundry of money supporting Enrique Peña Nieto. Clearly it is the strategy binational that the dirty money finances the electoral campaigns in favor of the powers factices and the elite of the money. Until these days it has not been attracted by the PGR, and the investigations have been made by the Progressive Movement, without the weak-willed IFE intervenes. The barons of the drug in the financial centers legalize lakes of dollars coming from the Mexican holocaust daily, of the pain, and the desolation of both sides of the frontier.

The goal of the caravan will be to place in the discussion table, impelling the development of a real strategy shared by both countries to stop the war that is developed at the moment. In this political reading they will have to give voice and he witnesses the victims of the war of both countries, so that the sick American society and slave of the drugs takes conscience and solidarity to finish the dirty and damned war. God willing they can put in the political calendar of the neighboring country of the north their political, social and economic reformation of the presidential candidates, focused in this war to replace the military and police pattern, for a strategy of public health. It is a great dream of this caravan to stop the war, and that better idea that to go to the central nucleus of the neighbor of the north to shake their hearts, with this political fact that opens illusions, dreams with scenarios of hope, and tranquility for the citizens that miss the peace and the lost tranquility. Perhaps the most impressive voices are those of former agents federal, former policemen, former judges and other officials of public security that are expressed, through their organization EP, against the politicians of the war to the drugs in those that themselves participated.
