The People's Freedom Caravan to the USSF

This is video 1 of a series of 4 that makes up a video journal. The KUNM Youth Radio Project attended the 2010 US Social Forum in Detroit, MI, June2010, by way of the People's Freedom Caravan (PFC), organized by The SouthWest Organizing Project (SWOP), Southwest Workers Union (SWU) and Southern Echo. The PFC stopped in various communities along the way to the 2010 USSF, where the Caravan Freedom Riders stood in solidarity with the activists and grass roots organizers.

In this first video, KUNM Youth Radio Project's Josh Horton interviews Cecilia Frescas, a member of SWOP, and Lucia Martinez, a member of both SWOP and the KUNM Youth Radio Project, about their initial thoughts before the PFC trip and the 2010 USSF.

I like the way they put their emotions into words and i went on the caravan to and my initial thoughts were that i will always remember the march that happened in Detroit with sixteen thousand people. And it was true and i will ALWAYS remember that specific march.
