An International Caravan for Justice will take 5 routes, each visiting about 11 cities, in its trip across the United States, from Canada to Mexico, beginning on October 18th. Cities that the Caravan is planning to visit include: San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego, Los Angeles, Albuquerque, Houston, Madison, Atlanta, Cambridge, Chicago, Washington, DC, and many more. The events to be held in many cities in North America will raise consciousness about the horrific murders and disappearances along the US-Mexico border, in Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico. Violence against women is continuing, as young women who work in the maquiladoras continue to disappear. Murder is rampant as long as impunity prevails. The Caravan is demanding action by authorities on both sides of the border. The Caravan will arrive in Juarez on October 31st, an educational conference will be held there on November 1st, on November 2, Caravanistas will participate in Day of the Dead Events; on Wednesday, November 3, and after meeting with local authorities, they will travel to Chihuahua City on November 3rd for a Thursday, November 4th meeting with Chihuahua state authorities and Press conference.
The International Caravan for Justice will be in San Francisco on October 24th, at 7:00 pm at New College of California's Cultural Center, 766 Valencia Street. More Details about this event on Indybay's Womyn Page
