The US-Mexican Caravan For Peace, led by Mexican poet Javier Sicilia, began in San Diego, aiming to highlight the devastating effects of the drug war in both Mexico and the US. The caravan, part of Sicilia's Mexican Movement for Peace and Justice with Dignity, seeks policy changes, including drug war policies, arms trafficking, money laundering, US foreign aid, and immigration. They propose solutions like prohibition alternatives, arms import bans, stricter money laundering regulations, and humane immigration policies. The movement, sparked by Sicilia's personal tragedy, symbolizes the grief and calls for change following the violence that has affected thousands.
