The parents and classmates of 43 students who vanished in the south of Mexico plan to cross the border this month to protest in the U.S.

Nearly six months after the students vanished, a coalition of Latino human rights coalitions said at a San Diego City College press conference Tuesday that a caravan will arrive in San Diego on March 23.

The caravan is one of three that will cross the border through El Paso on March 16 and fan out in different directions across the country. They will visit at least 45 U.S. cities.

The group coming to San Diego includes a mother, a father, and two students who survived a police shooting the night their classmates disappeared from Iguala, Guerrero. For safety reasons, the coalition is not releasing the names of the visitors, who will arrive on a collective humanitarian visa.
