And Iraqi war resisters Pablo Paredes, Camilo Mejia and Aidan Delgado as well as Fernando Suarez del Solar, whose son was killed in Iraq, have begun a 241-mile march for peace from Tijuana, Mexico to San Francisco. The march is inspired by Gandhi’s 1930 Salt March protesting British imperialism. Historian Howard Zinn said, “This is one of the most significant actions taken yet to dramatize the movement against the war — especially because it calls attention to the Latino population, the loss of Latino life in the war, and the unrecognized Latino opposition to the war.”
