Demonstrators in Mexico City and 24 other cities throughout Mexico will march this weekend to stop military violence against the Mexican people.
The 'National March for Peace, Justice, and Dignity,' let by poet and writer Javier Sicilia, has, as its goal, the immediate demilitarization of all national territories and the ending of violence and impunity.
The protests are in response to President Felipe Calderon's heavy-handed attempts to impose order and reduce crime. Protestors believe that creating new jobs and reducing corruption will do more to reduce crime than law enforcement, arguing that the only reason there are so many criminals is because they have no other way of making a living.
