Iluminemos Mexico
Iluminemos Mexico, or Iluminate Mexico, was a march against violence held in 88 cities in Mexico and 6 other countries. An estimated 2 million people marched on August 30th, 2008, at 6 pm. Founded by American Aleman online, and businessman Elias Kuri offline, the two joined forces to establish a date for a march. Many Mexicans were horrified by the death of 14 years old Fernando Marti, son of a business man, who was kidnapped and brutally murdered in June of 2008, and this event spurred many to to say enough “Ya basta”—enough crime, kidnapping, murder, fear, and insecurity. The march was also named “Marcha contra la Inseguridad.” Iluminemos Mexico is based in Mexico City and was incorporated in 2008.
