Today, across the Cochella Valley, thousands marched to honor "
Our Lady Guadelupe. Lady Guadelupe is the Mexican icon for the Virgin Mary. This month being Christmas those who are very devout joined this March. But that's not the only reason they were walking. The thousands that joined together were also marching for change in their communities using spirituality as a way to bring them together. Local leader Sergio Carranza said the march is "
geared to raising public awareness, and protecting and improving the environmental health conditions of these rural communities." Coachella remains a spiritual and liberal meeting-ground for many as is seen today, but also at the annual Coachella Festival in August that is visited by people all around the world. People seem to be grouping together all over America this fall to fight whether it be
Occupy Wall Street or even just changes in their local communities.
