Karla Garcia and Ismael Chamu, both political science majors, harbor concerns over the Mexican government and its response to the disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa students, who were kidnapped and killed over 4 months ago in Iguala, Guerrero. Garcia and Chamu organized the march in order to send the message: that although these students are dead, there are other students demonstrating solidarity and demanding answers from the Mexican government.<\/p>\n \u201cI want \u00a0the people in Mexico to know that we are standing with them, especially because they were students,\u201d said Garcia.<\/p>\n The march was preceded by a traditional Aztec dance, which then led the group down Telegraph Avenue toward Oakland. The students plan to continue to advocate and work closely with organizations who are supporting the families of the 43 students who were killed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [su_slider source=”media: 25382,25383,25384,25385,25386,25387,25388″ width=”700″ height=”460″ title=”no” speed=”500″] Photos and Story by Angelica Ekeke \u201cLa Lucha Sigue!\u201d was the rallying cry of more than 30 students and participants on Friday Jan. 30 at a march held on the steps of UC Berkeley\u2019s historical Sproul Plaza.
