This week William had the opportunity to speak with two people
who are doing active support work for the folks involved in what’s
being called the “migrant caravan”, a group of 7,000 or so people
primarily from Honduras fleeting violence of many kinds. Firstly
we’ll hear from Chris, who is an organizer with Enclave Caracol, a
social center which stands in solidarity with migrants in Tijuana.
This center sprang from Tijuana Food Not Bombs, and you can learn
more about them via their Facebook
page or via their wordpress
site.
To donate to them, you can visit the Al Otro Lado donate
page and mark a donation for Enclave Caracol!
In this interview, we get into how it’s been for Enclave Caracol
(The
Snail Enclave in English) to do support in Tijuana, some of the
history regarding this particular situation, how the various cop
organizations in the area have been treating folks, responses by
the public and the government alike, and basic ways of how to
support. Let us know what youthink or if you have a perspective on
this issue by writing to us! You can also
write us here.
The audio quality cuts out in some portions of these interviews, so apologies in advance for that.
. … . ..To learn more about the history of what is going on right now,
and
specifically the recent history of Honduras which gave rise to
this
present day situation, we recommend the Alliance for Global Justice’s webinair on
Honduras, which was passed to us by a comrade. It is a longer
listen, and brings voices together who have been paying attention
to this situation for many years, some of whom are directly
impacted by it.
