Ramón Mejía, a US Marine Corps veteran and an organizer with the Veterans Against Fascism coalition, was one of thousands of vets, soldiers, military families and allies who marched in Philadelphia on Saturday, part of the largest anti-war protest gathering of active-duty service members since the Vietnam War.
He told BT he was there in solidarity with Daniel "Des" Sanchez Estrada, an artist and tattooer who was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for relocating leftist zines after a 2025 protest at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Texas.
