Cause 1, the Guerreros Buscadores De Jalisco

The Madres Buscadoras are multiple groups who search for their disappeared loved ones. You can learn more about them here 👇 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madres_buscadoras Though each of these groups deserves support, I had to pick only one, and so during the event we will be supporting the Guerreros Buscadores De Jalisco.

🛑CONTENT WARNING: human remains in all links below🛑 You can read about my selected group here 👇 https://www.facebook.com/p/Guerreros-Buscadores-De-Jalisco-61555458753120/ Or read a recent article about their work here 👇 https://www.bbc.com/mundo/articles/c4g972j2gn7o Or on their instagram here 👇 https://www.instagram.com/guerrerosbuscadoresdejalisco Or on their tiktok here 👇 https://www.tiktok.com/@guerrerosbuscadoresjalis

There's little I can say about these groups and why I chose them that does not feel trite against the terrible weight of what they have to do and the peril they work under. Take a moment to scroll the endless missing posters on the facebook page. Please help me support them.

Cause 2, Tlatoanitsin, David Marcelino Cayetano

For a while now I have been taking lessons in a language called Náhuatl, an indigenous language of Mexico. Like many indigenous languages it is in imminent danger of extinction. David Marcelino Cayetano is a teacher, filmmaker, and artist, and his life's work is to preserve and pass down this language and culture. I met him when I asked to join one of his classes, and despite being far from the intended audience he welcomed me magnanimously. He has been my teacher since then. I am deeply grateful to be learning from him, and I am increasingly conscious of the heavy burden he faces in trying to prevent the extinction of his language and culture. I would love to help support his efforts.
