Keep contributing to the drug wars and deaths in Mexico. Or have you not taken the time to think about where you drugs come from?

Charles Bowden on “Murder City: Ciudad Juárez and the Global Economy’s New Killing Fields”

CHARLES BOWDEN: OK, I’ll tell you about the city now. Twenty-five percent of the houses have been abandoned in a city of poverty where housing’s short. They’ve got a bumper crop there now: 10,000 new orphans from the slaughter. Forty percent of the businesses have closed. Thirty to sixty thousand people have fled to the United States. You know, this is a city dying. And I must say, this was the poster child for NAFTA.



This April 20, dress in white to show your support for peace in Mexican soil over drug trafficking.

Our strength will be taken from the numbers we find and hopefully we can make a statement that can be followed in other college campuses around the country and the world.

Vístete de blanco este 20 de abril para demostrar tu interés por la paz en México y protestar contra la violencia que ha creado el narcotráfico, en esta avalancha que ha rodeado nuestro país.

Este evento empieza en Cornell, una universidad en el estado de Nueva York, pero queremos que sea tan amplio como sea posible. Vístete de blanco y dile a todos los que conozcas. Creemos un ambiente donde nuestros números muestren que queremos paz.
Ya.

Stoners with the munchies should be sure to stock-up on free snacks provided by UCSC!

i'm glad its raining tomorrow. hopefully it will make it a little more feasible for me to catch the bus so i can get that education i'm paying so much for. how is smoking weed counter cultural? how is an enormous group of privelaged hippies and bros hanging out and doing drugs they bought using capital remotely counter cultural?

most of the pot being smoked here undoubtably comes from california, not mexico. here in northern california its more likely to come from medocino or humbolt counties; shipping it up from mexico makes no sense. it grows EVERWHERE.
