We are sending information on how to watch the extraordinary meeting planned on Thursday, June 23 between Javier Sicilia -- together with his close advisors, and a group of family members of drug war victims – with President Calderón and his war cabinet.
This meeting represents a major milestone for the growing anti-war movement in Mexico. It is a moment of opportunity and peril. The opportunity is for the movement to speak directly to the Mexican public about the atrocity inherent in the current drug war model and the urgent need to change it. The peril is that the vast public relations machinery of the presidency could paint the moment to win Calderón points for listening, while ignoring the movement’s challenging call for deep change and reform of Mexico’s failing institutions.
