Abstract
This article explores social mobilization by the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity (MPJD) and United Forces for our Disappeared in Coahuila (FUUNDEC) between 2006 and 2012. Places and experiences at different geographical scales are important to social mobilization in Mexico because state authorities have used intricate scales of government, legislation, and decentralization to set the conditions for the prevalence of impunity and the lack of access to justice in cases of disappearances. The MPJD has had more national visibility and has negotiated more directly with federal authorities because of its focus on mobilization across the country through caravans. However, FUUNDEC has been more effective in pressing for local legislation that assists the families of the disappeared through its emphasis on the politics of scale.
