Mining Association calls for peaceful march for miners who died in Sinaloa: find out here the date and time

The Mexican Mining Association has organized a peaceful march in memory of miners who went missing and were later found dead in Sinaloa.

In response to the recent discovery of bodies connected to miners who were kidnapped in Concordia, Sinaloa, the Mexican Association of Engineers, Metallurgists and Geologists (AIMMGM) has called for a peaceful march across various states. This initiative aims to honor the memory of the deceased miners and raise awareness about the ongoing issue of violence against the mining community in Mexico. The AIMMGM urged both the mining community and the general public to participate in these demonstrations.

The marches are set to take place in three different states on the same day and at the same time. Specifically, the first march is scheduled for Saturday, February 14 at 11:00 AM in Zacatecas, starting from the Civil Engineering department at UAZ and proceeding to the Plaza de Armas. The AIMMGM has encouraged participants to wear helmets and white shirts as a symbol of mourning and solidarity with the bereaved families. This show of unity highlights the broader implications of the violence faced by miners in Mexico, drawing attention to urgent calls for justice.

The mobilizations not only serve as a tribute to the fallen miners but also aim to address the concerns surrounding the safety of individuals working in the mining sector. The AIMMGM's call for participation underscores the need for communal support and governmental intervention to address the alarming issue of disappearances and violence in the mining industry, which has been a scourge affecting many mining communities in Mexico.
