Peace March with Fernando Suarez del Solar This Saturday in Watsonville
March will pass through the central coast
March For Peace!
March for Migrant Rights!
From Watsonville to Salinas
With Fernando Suarez and Pablo Parades
March 25 starting in Watsonville 10am
We will meet at the
Saint Patrick’s Church Parking Lot
721 Main Street
OBJECTIVE: A 241 mile march that aims at ensuring that the Latino voice of opposition to the War is heard loud and clear across the Americas.
WHAT/ WHEN: Fernando Suarez del Solar, Pablo Paredes, Camilo Mejia and Aidan Delgado will lead a coalition of the willing across this 241 mile quest for peace starting in Tijuana, Mexico, going through Marine Corps Depot Camp Pendleton to the Cesar Chavez burial site in La Paz, CA, culminating in The Mission district of San Francisco with a memorial ceremony and blood drive.
The March will begin on 12 March 2006. The coalition of the willing will arrive at La Paz, CA on 22 March 2006 and culminate in San Francisco from 26 March 2006 to 27 March 2006.
WHY: Latinos represent nearly 15% of the US population and 11% of the US military, with many serving in combat or hazardous duty occupations. In addition, an estimated 20% of the fallen service members in the early months of the invasion were Latino. With the continued growth of the Latino population and its vital importance to the future of this country, it is time the Latino community become an active and vocal part of the 60%+ of US citizens that oppose this War. It is also time to show the Latino community that they have a voice and a right to fight for peace and stability. Fernando Suarez Del Solar is committed to self-sacrifice. At 50 years of age he cares more about ending this war than even his own health. We make this call not only to the Latino population but to all those who agree with our message “No more bloodshed in Iraq”.
Organized locally by the Watsonville Brown Berets,
the Resource Center for Nonviolence and the Santa Cruz County Peace Coalition.

I am suprised and dismayed by the lack of coverage of the Immigrant struggle at the various peace rallies over the weekend of March 18+19. The most I heard the whole weekend was some guy in Palo Alto singing about "teenage immigrant welfare mothers on drugs". Then Monday I looked for sc-indybay coverage of the Iraq protest and all I saw was coverage of the Immigrant protest. We need to cross pollenate our two struggles. The Peace rally/Immigrant rally on Sat March 25, 2006 in Watsonville is a good start. Was there any TV coverage of the March 17 march in Santa Cruz?

Univision does a pretty good job of getting around to protests within the Latino community. They're always covering AFSCME actions at UCSC and I believe I saw them at the Immigrant Rights protest on Friday.
And fyi.. there was coverage of both the antiwar and the immigrant rights actions on SC-IMC, but friday's was just highlighted as, in terms of participation and militancy, was a more significant event, that continues to unfold.
