DAMMING THE IRON RIVER
A Saturday, May 25th webinar by the Democratic Socialists of America and Global Exchange will discuss a campaign to help interrupt flow of guns from US to Mexico.
At least two-thirds of the firearms recovered by Mexican authorities are trafficked from the United States. Texas and Arizona have long been these weapons’ primary states of origin.
The webinar is at Saturday, May 25 at 11am PT/2pm ET. John Lindsay-Poland of Global Exchange’s Stop U.S. Arms to Mexico project will speak about how these arms end up in the hands of powerful drug-trafficking gangs and play a prominent role in violence in Mexico.
Drug-trafficking violence flows not from South to North, but North to South; and with the Trump administration threatening to deploy US troops over drug-trafficking violence, as well as the direct correlation between migration waves and violent crime, organizing to stop the US arms flow has never been more urgent.
Learn how DSA chapters—especially in Texas and Arizona—can partner with the International Committee’s Mexico Working Group on a campaign to interrupt the flow of guns from the U.S. to Mexico.
