News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Hayek and Fonda demand justice in Ciudad Juarez

MEXICO CITY – Prior to their appearance in a Tuesday performance of the off-Broadway hit “The Vagina Monologues,” Jane Fonda and Salma Hayek demanded that Mexico resolve the deaths of more than 300 women murdered over the past decade in northern Mexico.

The Hollywood stars accompanied “Monologues” author and actress Eve Ensler, who has staged previous performances of her play in Mexico City, to advocate for better security in the border city of Ciudad Juarez.

All three performers blamed governmental corruption for the ongoing violence.

“This year, right now, we are going to turn the situation around,” Ensler said. “The government has not done the work it should be doing.”
