Find out: LeBarón family will travel by caravan to Washington to talk to Trump
Julián LeBarón announced just this week that he will join the march to demand a halt to the violence in the country, because he is unaware of the 22-day investigations of the attack on women and children in the Mormon community, although he hopes that on December 2, when he will meet with President López Obrador, he will be given information.
Nine relatives of activist Julián LeBarón were killed on 4 November: three adult and six underage women, including two babies.
The vans in which three women and 14 minors were travelling were ambushed by armed groups.
TheLeBarón family, therefore, asked the U.S. government to declare drug cartels terrorist organizations, under the argument that the policies implemented by the Mexican government to combat drug trafficking have been “failed.”

“In National Action we are convinced that in the face of the serious situation that Mexico is experiencing today we all need each other, that is why we have decided, as citizens, to accept the invitation and join the march. We will go without partisan logos, because we want to be one voice, the voice of Mexico,” said Marko Cortés, national president of the PAN.

The PRD also announced that it will join the mobilization. Estephany Santiago Fernández, a member of the perredist national leadership, indicated that the demonstration is to denounce that “the country is not on the right track”, so “it is necessary and urgent that the president knows that his data is not correct, there is discontent”.
Margarita Zavala said that the organization México Libre, which promotes together with former President Felipe Calderón, will participate in the march, although they did not make a call because they will do so as citizens.
“Mexico Libre is respectful of the citizen character of this Sunday’s march and therefore we are not contitering.
