DESCRIPTION:The International Caravan for Justice will travel across the United States 
 and Mexico to fight for justice for the women in Juarez and Chihuahua. 
 Almost 400 young women -- half of whom work in maquiladoras opened in 
 Mexico under the North American Free Trade Agreement -- have been murdered 
 in these two border cities over the past decade. \n\nGovernment and police 
 officials are inadequately investigating the growing number of deaths, 
 while maquiladora owners refuse to acknowledge their responsibility for 
 safety measures. \n\nThe caravan will raise consciousness about conditions 
 faced by women along the border. \n\nHear testimony from Ramona Morales, 
 mother of Silvia Elena Rivera Morales, victim of the Juarez femicides, and 
 from Jessica Marques, representative of the Mexico Solidarity Network, who 
 will discuss the influence of globalization and neoliberal economic 
 policies on the femicides. \n\nNew College of California Cultural Center, 
 766 Valencia Street, San Francisco. \n\n$3-5 recommended donation, no one 
 turned away for lack of funds. \n\nFor more information, 
 contact:\n--Jessica Marques at 415.621.8100 until October 17\n--Kate 
 Chanton at 202.544.9355\n--msn@mexicosolidarity.org.\n\n
