Chicago hunger strike in solidarity with refugee caravan

By staff

Chicago, IL – Father Jose Sigfredo Landaverde from the Mission Faith, Life and Hope is undertaking a hunger strike, as of November 30, in solidarity with the mothers of the migrant exodus. A group of refugee women in Tiajuana have launched a hunger strike to demand the end of deportations and an accelerated asylum process. The hunger strike comes a few days after a march in Tijuana ended with U.S. officials throwing tear gas at migrants who tried to cross the border.

In solidarity, Father Jose Sigfredo Landaverde joins this hunger strike supporting these women and all migrants.
