DESCRIPTION:Alejandro Ramos of Guerrero and Gerardo Espinoza of Chiapas will address 
 human rights of Mexican communities and Central American migrants in Mexico 
 and how the United States affects them.\n\nIn the ‘drug war’ in Mexico 
 promoted by the United States, more than 150,000 people have been killed 
 and another 27,000 forcibly disappeared since 2007. The case of 43 
 Ayotzinapa student teachers disappeared in Guerrero in 2014 uncovered 
 massive crimes against humanity in Guerrero and across Mexico. Human rights 
 attorney Alejandro Ramos of the ‘Morelos y Pavón’ Human Rights Center 
 defends families of disappeared and others in Guerrero affected 
 by\nviolence.\n\nCentral Americans fleeing violence in their own countries 
 arrive in Mexico seeking protection. Instead, spurred by Washington’s 
 policies, Mexican agents increasingly detain and deport them situations of 
 acute danger. Gerardo Espinoza of the Fray Matías Human Rights Center in 
 Tapachula, at the Mexico-Guatemala border, works to protect migrants 
 seeking refuge in Mexico. These human rights defenders will bring fresh 
 testimony from Mexico and what we can\ndo in the United States.\n\nFor
