Support At-Risk Journalist Reporting from Sinaloa

Donation protected
On January 5, while covering the widespread violence following the arrest of Ovidio Guzman in Sinaloa, Mexico, local journalist Marcos Vizcarra was threatened at gunpoint and had his car, cellphone, camera, and computer taken by cartel members. Marcos's intrepid reporting has long served to expose corruption and hold authorities accountable for human rights violations, as well as document the nature of organized crime in the state.

Funds gathered will support Marcos as he recovers from the events, allowing him to replace his lost equipment and helping to ensure that he is able to remain safe. As co-founders of the Mexico Violence Resource Project, we strongly believe that the work of journalists like Marcos is vital. Please consider donating. Any amount helps.

El cinco de enero, durante la cobertura de la violencia generada tras el arresto de Ovidio Guzmán en Sinaloa, Marcos Vizcarra, periodista local, fue amenazado a punta de pistola y su auto, celular, cámara y computadora fueron robados por miembros del crimen organizado. Los reportajes valientes de Vizcarra han servido para exponer la corrupción y obligar a las autoridades a rendir cuentas por violaciones a derechos humanos así como documentar las operaciones del crimen organizado en el estado.

Los fondos recolectados servirán para que Marcos pueda recuperarse de estos eventos, reponer el equipo perdido y garantizar que pueda mantenerse en un lugar seguro. Como co-fundadoras del Mexico Violence Resource Project, creemos que el trabajo de periodistas como Marcos es esencial. Por favor considera realizar un donativo. Cualquier cantidad será de gran ayuda.
