The March at San Ysidro Community Park was a meaningful event that was meant to educate the San Ysidro community and their visitors about the realities of the Gatekeeper. More than a hundred people including students and leaders of different organizations showed up and supported the cause. 
The 3.5 mile march starting point was at the park and to the border, across the freeway bridge and back to the park. Coffins were carried by the people that marched to represent some of the more than 5,000 recognized bodies (with out counting those other thousands that are unknown) that have been found dead from trying to cross, the majority of the people wore black to remember this as well. As the March went on we invited the residents of SY to join the march and support the cause. Some small businesses supported by calling out our cause on their microphones and other people honked from their cars as they went by. I believe that the march went well and that many people understood the message.
The fight though does not end there, Nuestra Gente will keep fighting for the wall to fall. Our goal will only be reached when there are no more deaths caused by the gatekeeper.
La Union Hace La Fuerza!!! Only together will we be able to reach our goals and help out our people.
