Rochester —
Padre Alejandro Solalinde Guerra, human rights activist and founder of the Hermanos en el Camino migrant shelter in Oaxaca, Mexico, will speak at St. John Fisher College at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14.
Hermanos en el Camino is part of a system of shelters and food kitchens along the unauthorized migratory route to the United States. As such, it is on the front line in the attacks on undocumented Central American migrants in transit through Mexico.
The National Human Rights Commission of Mexico estimates that more than 11,000 migrants were kidnapped in Mexico in a six-month period in 2010.
Hermanos en el Camino provides food, access to hygiene products and facilities, medical care, legal support to victims of crimes, a place to leave behind important information for family members in case the migrants disappear during their journey, and spiritual support.
The shelter has become a staging ground for numerous protests, and has launched Alejandro into the political fight against human rights abuses in Mexico.
The discussion is free, and the public is welcome. It will be in Basil Hall (Room 135) of St. John Fisher College, at 3690 East Ave., in Rochester.
