43 for 43: A Social Protest Quilt
43 quilters come together to make a quilt that the parents of the missing 43 college students from Ayotzinapa can use like a banner in protests
We need 43 quilters to make 43 quilt blocks for the 43 college students who were arrested by the police and then never seen again.
43 college students disappearing overnight is a crime that no one should get away with, but that's exactly what's happening in Mexico to date. Unless justice and explanations are demanded of the federal government, these 43 college students will remain disappeared. Watch the video above to see how you can help these families bring justice before the second anniversary of the Ayotzinapa disappearance this September.
