As your constituent, I am contacting you to urge you to speak out against what is happening in Southern Mexico. Since 2021 the municipalities in the state of Chiapas are under a siege of armed conflict waged by criminal organizations. The people of Chiapas continue to experience human rights violations daily and lose their loved ones, their homes, and their crops. Hundreds of people are fleeing to Guatemala as we speak. I ask you to speak to the State Department and urge the government of Mexico to formally recognize the armed conflict in Chiapas, to stop attacking human rights groups and the press, and to take action to protect the people of Chiapas. Thank you for your your time and attention on this critical issue.
