On March 8th, 2015, International Women’s Day, the mothers of the 43 disappeared students of Ayotzinapa broke down borders by sending a powerful video-message to the global gathering “Women’s Struggles Transform the World!” held in New York and convoked by Movement for Justice in El Barrio.
The worldwide struggle of the 43 disappeared of Ayotzinapa has been headed by the mothers of the students. These amazing mothers have touched the hearts and motivated countless people from throughout the world to join with them. A living testament that this “other world” we desire is currently being inspired and created, from the bottom-up, by women. The mothers of the 43 chose to break down borders with this heartfelt video-message which is yet another reminder of their contribution to movements everywhere.

This February 26, on the 5-month anniversary of the abduction of the students from Ayotzinapa, the ninth worldwide day of movement for Ayotzinapa and Mexico took place. During the demonstration in Mexico City, parents of the missing students and guest speakers asked those present and society in general not to abandon them, since they intend to keep struggling. They also remembered the teacher Claudio Castillo Peña, murdered in Guerrero during a CETEG demonstration, and finally they called on peole not to vote and not to allow yet one more historic lie.
At the end of the day, a group of police officers encircled a group that intended to “liberate” the Metro. Near the Metro Sevilla a confrontation took place, where some of the demonstrators–mostly minors–were injured and others arrested.
On Sept. 26, 2014, municipal police attacked a group of students from Ayotzinapa school in Mexico’s Guerrero state. Of the 43 disappeared students, eight came from Tecoanapa. Now their fellow citizens have shut down the local government buildings and set up a people’s council. It’s a movement that is gathering momentum across Guerrero.
