I enlisted in the “coalition of the willing” gathered by Gold Star father for peace Fernando Suarez del Solar and Iraq War military resister Pablo Paredes in Fresno, California. By that point they were already nearing the 200 mile mark of their 241 mile "March for Peace" ("Peregrinacion Por la Paz") from Tijuana, Mexico, to San Francisco, California.

From Fresno youth marching and chanting for eight hours straight, to thousands joining our ranks in Watsonville and Salinas, to being met by and speaking to hundreds of students at a half dozen Oakland schools, to finally arriving in San Francisco as thousands of youth had taken over downtown to demand respect for immigrants, everyday was simply amazing.
