Ayotzinapa (English)

Description

Usually this is not my art style, but I thought it was necessary for me to do this and make awareness about what is going on in Mexico. I encouraged you all to learn about the 43 students missing in Mexico. Here is the link to the information:
www.latintimes.com/10-things-u…

43 students were disappeared in Ayotzinapa, a city in Mexico. Who did this? There are various rumors, but everything points that this massacre was a masterpiece by the Mexican government. 
The students were protesting against one of the many corruptions that the Mexican government has committed. Because they raised their voices, they were killed. As students, we have to show support for this horrible injustice. This not the first time that this occurs in Mexico. In October 2, 1960s, hundreds of students were killed. Who was blamed? No one, but everyone knew it was the government.
There are not only 43 students that had been silenced. Everyday every Mexican has been silenced by the government, the media, and drug cartels.
Thousands of people have been making movements to not only call for awareness, but also to call for justice and the renunciation of presidential position of Mexican president, Enrique Peña Nieto.

I thought about making one in Spanish and another one in English just to be mindful that this is not only our fight, but it is also Mexico's, a country where most people speak Spanish. I also thought about writing "What if you were #44" and "Your Name Here" to make awareness that this is not something that is just happening to Mexico and should be ignored because "After all, it did not happened in US/to me/to my family...," as humanity, this is everyone's problem because it is a violation of human rights. Also, the objects with the writing on top are mostly to symbolize that not only the students have been disappeared... or killed... the government has little by little made a "montonsito" of killing people's freedom of speech (speaker, banner), of listening to new ideas (speaker), of freedom (shoe), education (books, cap), of thought (cap)... and so on and on... I wanted to show that the problem has been accumulating since long time ago.

Can I use this for a petition of mine on Change.org? It is a petition to get Pena Nieto to resign.
