VOICED: Caravana de la Paz en Washington

The video covers a march led by Mexican poet Javier Sicilia to protest the war on drugs. Activists traveled nearly 10,000 kilometers across the U.S. to promote peace, drug legalization, gun control, and anti-money laundering measures. The caravan, which began in Mexico, was inspired by the murder of Sicilia's son. Participants faced numerous challenges but remained hopeful. In Washington, they shared personal stories of violence, including a mother's account of her missing daughter. The drug war has resulted in over 60,000 deaths in Mexico over six years.
