The only option up until now is to travel and make demands in a group.\u201d <\/em>This was the comment of a woman who attended a community assembly with 55 other people, all native Otom\u00ed. The assembly was held on October 5, 2022, and organized by Fomento Cultural y Educativo as part of the Ambulantes project.<\/p>\n

In general, those that attended were not aware of their labor rights and did not consider themselves to be subjects of those rights.<\/p>\n

While they are aware of many of the problems associated with migration, above all disappearances and drug consumption, they had not spoken about internal migration as a community problem. The subject of drugs was heavily discussed: \u201cIn Cerro Gordo there is already a distributor who has threatened anyone who denounces him, saying that he will get his suppliers involved.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Internal migration had not been a priority for the Municipal Agent either.<\/p>\n

In the assembly, attendants received printed materials about labor rights and COVID-19 prevention. They discussed their worries, centered around the poor labor conditions on the \u201ccontracts,\u201d the disappearances, the presence of violence related to organized crime and the pressure to consume drugs: \u201cSome people go to harvest and consume green pills called \u201cpericos,\u201d their stimulating effect lasts all day and people who take them don\u2019t get hungry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Another person commented: \u201cThe main thing is that each family discusses what they are going to do the next time there is a group that goes to the harvest. I think in Santiago Tolman (the tunas) there is less risk because the bosses already know the people well, but they say that in Sinaloa it is difficult.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

After the community assembly, with this acquired knowledge, people felt better prepared knowing that the municipal agent has the same information and should demand security protocols in the contracting of internal migrants: \u201cIt was good that they shared the information with the municipal agent. He is laid back, but with the assembly we can remind him to demand that the youth at least inform where they are going.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Rufina closed with an important reflection: \u201cThis is the first time we have heard about the rights we have as workers\u2026 When someone migrates, they don\u2019t think about the rights they have. As the woman in the assembly said, it\u2019s difficult to know how to demand our rights when we are not respected.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With the assembly, people were able to see that these were larger scale problems that are occurring in many more communities. These issues involve not only those who migrate, but also their family, friends, colleagues, and the community generally.<\/p>\n

Dario, one of the assembly participants, was surprised by the number of people that attended. What he heard led him to think that it is important to learn to take care of yourself and to expose problems that persist in the community. \u201cI thought that people wouldn\u2019t attend [the assembly], but the subject is important, so they came. The most important thing is learning to take care of ourselves, here people are going to look for work outside because it is what\u2019s needed. In the community we already know that our neighbors sell drugs. It is a problem that people don\u2019t talk about because they don\u2019t want problems – but the problem is already here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Rufina, another person who attended, commented on what she heard in the assembly: \u201cIt\u2019s important to know where is a a good place to work and where is not. Here there are people worried because their children are lost and have not appeared.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

On learning the results of the interviews carried out by Fomento as part of Ambulantes in different communities of the state, people who attended the assembly could confirm that is was less risky to migrate to the tuna (prickly pear) harvest, a historical harvest in the region: \u201cI think that with this information it is clear that we should continue working in the tuna harvest because in other places there is more danger and the salary is not higher.\u201d<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][ct_button button_text=”More testimonies” button_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fproyectoambulantes.mx%2Fen%2Ftestimonies%2F|title:Testimonies” align_lg=”align-center” align_md=”align-center-md” align_sm=”align-center-sm” align_xs=”align-center-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
