Marcha Migrante II

The second Migrant March began today in San Ysidro.  Over the next two weeks it'll travel the length of the border with Mexico, demanding the demilitarization of the border and "humane and comprehensive immigration reform."  Five million people participated in last years march - including lots of us in San Francisco.  Check out the schedule at Border Angels:

This coming year MARCHA MIGRANTE II will again start February 2 in San Diego and this time instead of crossing country, they will cross the entire US/MEXICO Border, from San Diego to Brownsville, Texas and back (Feb 2 – 17, 2007) which will culminate with an ALL PEOPLE’S IMMIGRATION HEARING in San Diego on February 17.

The caravan will gather stories along the border journey and share these stories at the February 17th event.
