Bonnie Abaunza, Director of Artist Relations for Amnesty International states, "We don't want people to forget that since 1993, almost 400 women and girls have been murdered in Ciudad Juárez and Chihuahua, México. Our work is not done and we urge the involvement of every Amnesty International supporter and, in particular, women's issues to join us in the campaign. To get involved, visit: www.aiusa.org. Type in keyword 'Juarez' to find out more."

Greene adds, "The women of Ciudad Juárez, México-the victims and their survivors-need our passion and our voices to be raised on their behalf. LUNA ROJA features a song called "Ciudad Juárez" and is an homenaje (homage) to these women: the sisters, the daughters, the mothers, the workers who deserve justice and the basic human dignity of being treated as if their lives and deaths matter. They do matter. Lo que pasa a mi hermana, me pasa a mí también (What happens to my sister, happens to me). I urge people to speak up, speak out and end this violence."
