Rosa Parks Women Movement for Civil Rights Announces March in Honor of
the Fallen Every Thursday / Jorge Luis García Pérez Antunez
Antunez - Jorge Luis Garcia Perez, Translator: Unstated
The Rosa Parks Women's Movement for Civil Rights announces that on
Thursday it held its second weekly march in honor of the fallen despite
the brutal arrests the members were subject to during the first march on
30 August; so we put out a wake-up call to national and international
public opinion urging them to closely follow our march and that we fear
for our lives.
These marches, which are called the weekly Rosa Parks Movement Marches
to Honor the Fallen replace the earlier marches that were held by the
women on the first of each month and will begin at the national
headquarters of this movement which is located on Seventh Street South,
No. 5, between Paseo Marti and Primera del Este in the municipality of
Villa Clara, Placetas. The path of the march will be from Paseo to
Primera del Norte, where it will turn left, returning to Park Cazayas to
the Catholic church of St. Athanasius at this location.
These marches will be extended to the length and breadth of the island
as above. The activists of the Movement chose Thursdays unanimously to
hold the march, as the Day of the Orlando Zapata Tamayo National Civic
Resistance Front and Civil Disobedience to which we are affiliated, and
our dress will remain our usual black clothes of mourning, as we reflect
on those who fell defending the homeland, praying the Our Father for
each arrest caused by the repressive forces.
St. Athanasius Catholic Church, where the women of the Rosa Parks attend
Mass every Thursday, is located on West Second Street and the corner of
North First Street in the municipality Placetas, Villa Clara province.
