Dear La Mission Familia, We know many of you are running and gunning, taking care of your familias, jobs and daily responsibilities, but we’re asking you to take a few minutes to read about a National Mobilization for Peace in more than 43 Us cities this coming Weds, Decemeber 3. What is the mobilization for? For many in these United States, images of mass graves in Mexico or stories like that of the 43 missing Normalista students of Ayotzinapa are disturbing, but far away. For others of us, Mexico is not just a “foreign policy issue.” Mexico es familia. Inspired by our friends, family and loved ones in Mexico, #UStired2 is a nationwide effort involving students, local Mexican and Latino and other communities, immigrant rights activists, religious organizations, concerned scholars and many others from across the entire United States. This nationwide effort has one goal: working in the United States to promote peace as an alternative to the catastrophically failed drug war that has left more than 100,000 dead and 25,000 people disappeared in Mexico. Join us & 1000’s coming together next Weds December 3, by visiting ustired2 , or by helping to get the word out via social media. Here are some suggested Tweets and messages: I support communities in 43 cities joining #UStired2s National Mobilization for Peace on December 3 & Hope u can too ustired2 I join #UStired2 in saying Peace/Paz is the only answer in Mexico & I hope u can join them in 43+ US cities on 12/3 ustired2 Join me & 1000s coming togther in a city near u for #UStired2s Natl Day for Peace in Mexico nxt Weds Dec. 3.
