As Mexico continues to grapple with the growing unrest in the wake of the ever-expanding scandal surrounding the disappearance of 43 college students, activists in the U.S. are taking to the streets to voice their solidarity with their southern neighbors and protest Washington’s involvement in Mexico’s bloody drug war.

Students and activists in places such as New York and San Diego have already held demonstrations and candlelight vigils as tensions in Mexico continue to build and more sordid details emerge about the disappearance of the 43 teachers college students in Guerrero. Authorities say the students died at the hand of a mayor and local police working with a drug cartel.

A group of activists in the U.S. have also organized a series of simultaneous demonstrations early next month to take place in at least 54 cities – up from the original 43 – across the country in an effort to call for an end of U.S. military funding to Mexico.

“The 43 missing students are symbolic of the deeper problems and the mass graves that the U.S. military has helped create in Mexico,” Roberto Lovato, a writer and activist who helped organized the so-called #USTired2 demonstrations to take place on Dec. 3, told Fox News Latino. The organizers of the demonstrations have also launched a social media campaign using the USTired2 hashtag to raise awareness for the Dec. 3 events on Twitter and Facebook.
