The WALL OF DEATH between the US-Mexico border must come down because it has killed migrants, its a waste of taxpayer money and its a wall of SHAME
More than 500 young working women were disappeared, brutally killed and their bodies dumped in the Chihuahua desert...justice has NOT been done to date! The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is part of the blame!
Since 1980 the US-Mexico Border has become militarized with Army, National Guard, Homeland Security, IC, Border Patrol and local law enforcement agencies resulting in VIOLENCE and DEATH
Universal rights of migrants gives people FULL CITIZENSHIP rights where ever (country) they may find themselves at working or living.
The free trade neo-liberal model is a failed state and in seeking alternatives for a new world possible the Bolivarian Alternative ALBA is based on solidarity economies and cooperative societies..
In order to have another world possible we demand an emancipatory educational system and curriculum with inclusiveness and equality for ALL
The November “Global Alternative Forum of Peoples in Movement” is intended to directly challenge the GFMD´s promotion of such approaches and to repudiate its legitimacy and that of the Mexican state and government and equivalent sectors elsewhere in countries of origin, transit, and destination, who seek to suppress, supplant and co-opt the voices, demands, and struggles of “peoples in motion” and their families, communities, organizations, and allies throughout the world.
