The organization has
DEMANDED of the United States:
§
That they respect our rights as refugees and
our right to dignified work to be able to support our families
§
That they open the borders to us because we
are as much citizens as the people of the countries where we are and/or travel
§ That
deportations, which destroy families, come to an end
On March 23, Pueblo Sin Fronteras posted their demands on
their Facebook page:
To the governments of Central
America, Mexico, and the United States of America, To the media, To
human rights organizations, To civil society,
We are a group of people from different nations, religions,
genders, gender expressions, and sexual orientations migrating and seeking
refuge. We seek to become one collective, supporting each other shoulder to
shoulder and demonstrating that by uniting we can abolish borders.
We Central Americans have formed a caravan of many united in
struggle. We leave Tapachula, Chiapas on March 25.
If all goes well we will be in
Puebla, Mexico from April 5 to 9 to participate in legal preparation and
workshops. From there we will hope for the blessing of solidarity from the
Mexican people and human rights organizations, who we hope will join our
struggle and assist us with the supplies and resources that they have
available. We appreciate the support and collaboration of the people of Mexico
and the United States. We hope to be an example of solidarity and struggle to
the world.
We demand of our Central
American countries:
-An end to political corruption
-An end to violence against women and the LGBTQIA community
-An end to failures of justice for victims of domestic violence, extortion, threats, and homophobia
-An end to corruption between gangs, the police, and governments
-An end to murder with impunity and gang recruitment of youth

“Because there they kill the working class!”
“Why do they kill us? Why do they murder us…”
“If we are the hope of Latin America?”
