These are heartbreaking stories. My condolences to all the family members who have lost their loved ones. I am moved by their courage in going on the caravan to tell their stories.

Javier’s words:”Don’t wait until that pain reaches your intimate lives to hear the cry…” still echoes long after I read each and every profile of the brave members on the caravan.I am moved by the courage and commitment of this endeavor.

My heartfelt thanks.
May the madness cease, and that deep pain not be in vain.

Hi Anna,
The portion of your comment that included your personal information was removed, because we prefer not to share with the general public out of respect for your privacy and safety.

To respond to your comment,
-Re: your desire to work for social justice, that is a wonderful goal. We wish you much luck in your endeavors. A couple of job search sites you might look to: idealist.org and simply hired (http://www.simplyhired.com/a/jobs/list/q-social+justice). Personally, I think a wonderful strategy if you still need to learn certain job skills, getting a volunteer and/or internship position is a good way to gain professional experience.
-Re: reaching out folks after the Caravan, hopefully you all shared contact info? If not, perhaps use the Caravan contact page to see if they can help you track down those people you want to reach out to: http://www.caravanforpeace.org/caravan/?page_id=11.

Best wishes to you!
Tex

Thank you. I want to work for social justice. I am poor and want to add job skills to my knowledge and help teach others those same skills as we build a action response network in the chicagoland area to help the people and each other practcing the seven acts of mercy.
I especially want to reach out to the folks i gave a ride too after the Chicago march too know you and build a bridge with friendship.
