Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Mexican Women Mark Eureka Anniversary

HeadlineAug 29, 2007

In Mexico, dozens of black-clad women marched through Mexico City Tuesday to mark the 29th anniversary of the Mexican human rights group Eureka. The marchers commemorated the anniversary of a 100-day hunger strike that led to probes into political murders and the release of political prisoners.

Mexican Senator and Eureka founder Rosario Ibarra: “Freedom to political prisoners, freedom to the disappeared, an end to torture, and punishment to those guilty — that is all. And it’s not vengeance, it’s justice. The law should be respected. That is what we want.”
