DESCRIPTION:Caravana 43 Fresno: Parents of the 43 missing students from Iguala, Mexico 
 visit Fresno\n\nA caravan of parents and supporters will be coming to 
 Fresno bringing awareness of and seeking support for the 43 students 
 kidnapped and disappeared by the police of Iguala, Mexico as of September 
 26, 2014.\n\nWhat: Parents and supporters of the 43 Ayotzinapa students 
 that went missing in Iguala, Mexico will visit Fresno March 28-29. Fresno 
 is one of many stops of the Caravana 43 (Caravan 43) tour of the United 
 States traveling throughout the West Coast, South, Midwest, and East Coast. 
 Caravana 43 parents will host a press conference at California State 
 University Fresno – Peace Garden at 11:00 a.m., followed by a free public 
 forum in the Grosse Industrial Technology Bldg. 101. Caravana 43 parents 
 and supporters will hold a vigil that same day at the Mexican Consulate of 
 Fresno at 5:00 p.m.\n \nWhy: With the arrival of the Caravana 43, it will 
 be 6 months since the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa students. Although 
 many have been prosecuted for directly ordering the disappearance like 
 former Mayor of Iguala Jose Luis Abarca and his wife Maria de Los Angeles 
 de Pineda, the students have not been found. Their family and friends 
 continue to seek answers and justice.  The Mexican Federal Government 
 officially declared the death of the 43 students when the state police 
 turned them in to the “organized crime group”.  International 
 investigations have countered the official report and the public outcry 
 continues claiming that the federal army is in complicity with the 
 Government of President Enrique Peña Nieto. The parents of the 43 students 
 go beyond just claiming the direct responsibility of the federal 
 government.  The U.S. Government also has a lot to do with the violence 
 against social leaders and students who come out in the public to talk 
 about the systemic problems facing Mexico.  The economic support the U.S. 
 sends through the Merida Plan to, supposedly, fight against drugs, the 
 Mexican government uses to suppress social leaders, students and news 
 reporter for opposing all the economic reforms launched by the government 
 to privatize everything, including the most sacred liquid for human being, 
 water.\n \nWhen and Where:  March 28, 2015\n \nPress Conference: 11:00 a.m 
 .\n\nCalifornia State University, Fresno - Peace Garden\n\n5241 N. Maple 
 Ave, Fresno, CA 93740\n\nFollowing, a Public Informative Forum in the 
 Grosse Industrial Technology Building 101.\n\nVigil: 5:00 p.m. outside the 
 Mexican Consulate of Fresno,\n\n7435 N. Ingram Ave, Fresno, CA 93711\n\n

 national effort by receiving the Caravana 43 and providing them a platform 
 to tell their stories and the horror experience they are going through

 Government. Different community organizations, businesses, students, 
 churches, unions and individuals are joining our effort together to receive 
 the Caravana 43 and providing them all the necessary support.\n
