Urgent Action: Bill to give armed forces control of security in Mexico

Mexican legislators could pass a bill for a constitutional reform that would broaden the powers of the armed forces providing them wider policing authority and permission to remain on the streets of Mexico permanently. The bill is tabled for voting in the chamber of deputies.

Take action.

Please write immediately in Spanish, English or your own language to Mexican legislators:

• Urging them to reject the Constitutional Reform that would amend thirteen articles of the Constitution to create the “National Guard”.
