Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Thousands of Mexicans March to Denounce Trump’s Deportation Plans

HeadlineFeb 13, 2017

Thousands of Mexicans marched on Mexico City on Sunday to denounce President Trump and his plans to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the U.S. This is Mexican writer Héctor Aguilar.

Héctor Aguilar: “I say that he’s insane. Mexicans have said no to all that he has done, and we are against the wall and deportations and against all that he is doing to Mexicans over there like they are enemies. This is how it’s perceived here. And there are families who have been very affected. Children don’t want to go to school. It’s a ghetto-like environment.”
