A "caravan of comfort" that includes victims' families and civil rights reps will journey through many violent Mexican cities to the USA border.
Led by poet and journalist-turned-activist Javier Sicilia Members, 15 buses and other vehicles left Cuernavaca and arrived for a rally today in Mexico City.
They are protesting President Calderon's 5-year-long military crackdown on warring narco gangs that has seen at least 38,000 killed.
The caravan plans a 9 June arrival in Cd. Juarez, one of the world's most violent cities, some 2,000 kilometers/1,200 miles distant.
"We are heading towards the city most hurt (by the violence) and most symbolic of our countrymen who have been affected by a war which is not theirs," Sicilia said.
