Wednesday-Memorial Bike Ride for Brad

Yesterday there was a protest at the Mexican Consulate in NYC to demand justice for the killing of Brad Will, independent journalist who was shot dead in Oaxaca.

Here is a link to a media roundup of yesterday's protest including 2 videos taken yesterday.

This is a response from the Will Family:

"We are grieving over the tragic and senseless loss of Brad's life. Brad's friends and family admired his brave support for the downtrodden and willingness to act tirelessly upon his convictions. We believe he died doing what he loved. We will all miss Brad's compassionate, loving and adventurous spirit and it is our hope that his life's work reporting on the human struggle will never be forgotten."

Tomorrow there will be a memorial bike ride for Brad.
