Student activist and survivor of the Ayotzinapa student massacre Omar Garcia will be speaking at two Chicago screenings of documentaries on the military attack and disappearance of 43 Ayotzinapa students. After visiting Chicago last April as part of the Caravana43, Garcia renews an international campaign to bring justice to the victims, in light of a recent attempt to defame the students and tie them to drug cartels.
