[Mesh] 2018/11/15 A quick update about the Asylum Seekers Caravan.

Hello All, this a very quick update. * Donation Status - https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan * New Website - https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/ * Caravan and Jessie's whereabouts. * Goal Status * I am going in. *Donation Status*, out current goal is 15K and so far we have close to 6k. Please donate and you haven't done it. The website it is here: https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan *New Website*, this past Sunday I went to the Aaron Swartz Day event at the Internet Archive in SF. While there I got to see some familiar faces, and also I met more officially Steve Phillips from Noisebridge. Anyhow, to make the story short, since I have to go sleep, and wake up early for work, Steve kindly volunteered to help our group to migrate our just plain html static website to a WorkPress type, where the public and others group members can also add content. Steve and I did an all nighter right after the Aaron's event, working all night at Noisebridge and going home about 8am. Similar hacker schedule followed the next two night, which ended in our nice website. Many thanks Steve. Muy agradecido. *Jessie* followed the caravan from Mexico City to Queretaro, and then she returned to Mexico City when she learned that more asylum seekers were coming. Jessie, been talking and interviewing and learning more about the situation. T*he Goal*, which we are very laser focus, is as mentioned on my previous email and as the donation site mentions, is to provide transportation to as many we can to women, children, and LGBTQ vulnerable folks. And for what we have collected in donation, we are about to make the first trip from Mexico City to Tijuana. As Jessie reports, the situation there is very fluid, so not only things change moment to moment, but also she has to be very patience and wait for their choices. But, again, the first trip is this Sunday. *This weekend.* And the money that we have is only allowing about 60 people. We could offer more, if more folks would donate. The road I have taken many years ago, and there a very long one, and empty areas and distance town in between. Circling back to Jessie, in a way, because she is by herself, someone else (I am not sure if I can mention his name here) is coming over this Saturday. And, about half hour ago or so I bought a flight ticket to go help them both. Three of us will go with asylum seekers all the way to Tijuana. I am scheduled to arrive to Mexico City on Saturday morning. *I am going in, *and my intention is to team up with the other two in this task, and at the same time try to document the trip photographing. I am not sure how long I am going to be there, but the most that I can push it is until Dec 8. I should be uploading photos at my flickr account, so if you want to help spread the word, feel free to use those photos, they are intended to be here: https://flickr.com/danielarauz/sets, as often as it will possible. Please, if you haven't donate, please do. We really are using every single cent to support those in need.
