Hi there, John,
We only need 500 more people to take action (it only takes a minute to add your name!) before tomorrow. Will you be one of them?
It’s simple: The more actions we generate this month, the more likely we are to positively impact the lives of young people who need our help. Please add your name. We need to raise our voices in support of young people under threat — like José Adrián.
José Adrián was minding his own business, walking home from school, when police jumped him and threw him against their car. José Adrián had stumbled onto the aftermath of a clash between a group of people who ended up damaging a police car. Police arrested only José Adrián — a Mayan boy, just 14-years-old (!) at the time — with no explanation.
They stomped on his neck, strung him up by handcuffs, beat him, and then released him — after making his parents pay a fine and the cost of damage to the police car.
Police have followed a familiar pattern in Mexico — targeting the poor and discriminated against, in this case, a young Indigenous boy. We will not stand for this!
John, you can sign your name to show your immediate support for young people — including José Adrián — who have been attacked, harassed, and jailed.
By taking this meaningful action today, you’ll help keep hopes alive — and you’ll fight for what’s right.
Thank you for everything you do!
