Proyecto Guerrero Azteca

Proyecto Guerrero Azteca has initiated a 241 mile march by Latinos against the war in Iraq. The march is now taking place in California, but the event has national if not international repercussions. Fernando Suarez del Solar, Pablo Paredes, Camilo Mejia, Aidan Delgado and their supporters are marching on this 241 mile quest for peace - which began in Tijuana, Mexico on March 12, 2006. The "coalition of the willing" - as the marchers are being called - will end their trek with a large antiwar rally in San Francisco on March 26 2006.

Proyecto Guerrero Azteca wrote the following on their website, explaining their actions; "Latinos represent nearly 15% of the US population and 11% of the US military, with many serving in combat or hazardous duty occupations. In addition, an estimated 20% of the fallen service members in the early months of the invasion were Latino. With the continued growth of the Latino population and its vital importance to the future of this country, it is time the Latino community become an active and vocal part of the 60%+ of US citizens that oppose this War. It is also time to show the Latino community that they have a voice and a right to fight for peace and stability. Fernando Suarez Del Solar is committed to self-sacrifice. At 50 years of age he cares more about ending this war than even his own health. We make this call not only to the Latino population but to all those who agree with our message 'No more bloodshed in Iraq.'"
