Sincerely Guadalajara Pride Committee GUADALAJARA PRIDE ABOUT US The first LGBTIQ protest in Guadalajara took place in 1981, when a group of LGBTIQ people were taken out of a bar for “lack of morals”. It's been almost 40 years since this group of brave people started to create new dreams, and some of them have already came true. Guadalajara Pride is not just the 8th largest Pride parade in Latin America, and the second biggest one in Mexico, it is also an organization with a great commitment to spread the LGBTIQ culture and education through the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area. Guadalajara Pride has the most extensive LGBTIQ cultural programs in the Mexican Pride Movement, which includes sport events (a national soccer cup), film projections, human rights presentations and trainings, art and cultural workshops (which includes dance, theater and music), and events related with innovation and information technology, most of them are for free, thanks to partnerships with insitutions, government ministries and sponsors. Guadalajara Pride is also a platform for work, discovering new talents and helping to raise the voice of the political and social needs of the community. The organizing committee of the Guadalajara Pride is non-partisan, non- governmental, self-managed and non-profit, with a deep interest and commitment in that public policies, human rights, access to recreational activities and access to information provide equality and empower LGBTIQ people.

  • In Response to the “Sharing” Economy: Issues Facing Platforms, Participants, and Regulators United States Federal Trade Commission Washington, DC June 9, 2015
    In Response to the “Sharing” Economy: Issues Facing Platforms, Participants, and Regulators United States Federal Trade Commission Washington, DC June 9, 2015 Uber Technologies, Inc. (Uber) appreciates the opportunity to provide comments to the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Sharing Economy Workshop, Project No. P15­1200. ​ Uber is an app­based technology that is evolving the way the world moves. By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through our apps, Uber makes cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers. From our founding in 2009 to our presence in more than 300 cities around the globe today, Uber continues to bring people and their cities closer. The constantly increasing use of app­based technologies marks a significant shift in the way our economy functions; the relationship between consumer and producer/provider is much more personal in this new economy, and that must have an impact on the way the regulators and lawmakers treat those functioning in this space. Competition authorities from around the world have frequently been among the first government agencies to examine the impact and regulation of ride­sharing platforms and the “sharing economy” (see Appendix attached to this report). The following summarizes recent work undertaken by antitrust and competition authorities and regulators and which provides positive commentary on the impact of Uber, ride sharing, and the “sharing economy” on competition and consumer interests around the globe. The FTC’s workshop is timely, as lawmakers and regulators across the country are currently debating how to deal with this new economy and the increased economic opportunity and consumer benefits that it brings to the market.

  • Tlaquepaque Fact Sheet
    Tlaquepaque Fact Sheet Profile Named for a picturesque suburb of Guadalajara, Mexico’s Queen City, Tlaquepaque Arts and Craft Village is home to more than 40 shops and galleries and four restaurants, all enclosed in a compound of Spanish-style buildings. Known as “The Art and Soul of Sedona,” artists and artisans, craftsmen and chefs, feature their one-of-a-kind items for more than one million tourists annually. History Tlaquepaque’s construction began in 1971 with the creation of a wall along Highway 179 and opened in 1973. Integrated into its environment and true to its architectural sources, Tlaquepaque creates the impression that it has been around for centuries. To preserve the integrity of the site, buildings were constructed around existing trees. Where possible, methods of construction mirrored those of Mexican artisans and builders; tiles, statuary, lanterns, pots, doors, wrought-iron – even fountains – were largely imported piece by piece from Mexico. The result is a unique blend of architecture and nature, old and new…and an ambience of special charm and quiet elegance. Tlaquepaque largely reflects the dream of one man, Abe Miller. Abe’s standards were very high and his control extended from planning and construction though landscaping and maintenance. Merchants Tlaquepaque is home to restaurants, galleries, and shops featuring fine jewelry, collectibles and gifts, and wearables. Restaurants in Tlaquepaque include El Rincon, Oak Creek Brewery & Grill, RENE, How Sweet it Is, and The Secret Garden Café. Events Tlaquepaque is center stage to numerous events annually. Whether first time visitors or those that have made a tradition of attending, Tlaquepaque offers a festive atmosphere for all to enjoy.

  • UNMARRIED and WIDOWED WOMEN in GUADALAJARA, MEXICO, 1821-1910 by Andrea Vicente a DISSERTATION Submit
    SINGLENESS AND THE STATE: UNMARRIED AND WIDOWED WOMEN IN GUADALAJARA, MEXICO, 1821-1910 By Andrea Vicente A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY History 2012 ABSTRACT SINGLENESS AND THE STATE: UNMARRIED AND WIDOWED WOMEN IN GUADALAJARA, MEXICO, 1821-1910 By Andrea Vicente This is a study of women who lived without men between 1821 and 1910 in Guadalajara Mexico. In these years single and widowed women consistently outnumbered men in the city. I argue that disproportionate sex ratios created obstacles to legal marriage at a time when Mexican political leaders and reformers promoted marriage and motherhood as an important, idealized part of a solution to political instability in the aftermath of Independence in 1821. The same liberal political philosophies that motivated the fight for national Independence, promoted new economic and social reforms that displaced rural peasants forcing many to seek employment in cities. It was a trend that added to the demographic growth and industrialization of Guadalajara and created a growing class of poor urban workers. Among these new migrants were women who arrived to the city widowed and single. Some women never married, or remarried. Others lived in consensual unions and mothered illegitimate children. City officials grew anxious over the presence of unmarried working women who lived outside the boundaries of traditional marriage and patriarchal control. Increasingly, politicians, clergymen, women’s magazines, police and judges of various political stripes debated the role of unmarried women in their efforts to reform what they believed to be the wayward lifestyle that typified the urban poor.

  • Spain's Cabify to Return to Barcelona Despite Restrictions 6 March 2019
    Spain's Cabify to return to Barcelona despite restrictions 6 March 2019 "We hope that many people from Barcelona continue to choose our service and, in doing so, take back their right to choose how to move about their city," Cabify founder and CEO Juan de Antonio said in the statement. When the new rules were announced, Unauto VTC, an association of transport companies in Spain, estimated they would put 3,000-4,000 jobs at risk and force the closure of over 60 firms. While Catalonia gave into taxi drivers' demands to restrict ride-hailing services, the conservative regional government of Madrid refused to adopt similar measures despite a 16-day strike by taxi Pressure from taxi drivers resulted in tighter regulations drivers in the region over the issue. for ride-hailing companies such as Cabify © 2019 AFP Spanish ride-hailing service Cabify said Wednesday it will return to Barcelona, a month after it suspended its services in Spain's second- largest city due to strict new regulations. Cabify and its main US rival Uber pulled out of Barcelona on January 31 after the regional government of Catalonia passed new regulations requiring customers of ride-hailing services to book a ride at least 15 minutes in advance. The new rules were passed under pressure from taxi drivers, who had staged an open-ended strike and noisy street protests calling for tighter regulations for ride-hailing services, which they argue operate with an unfair advantage. Cabify said in a statement that it would resume its services in Barcelona on Thursday with a fleet of around 300 vehicles.

General Information about Mexico Mexico shares a border with the United States to the north, Belize and Guatemala to the south, and is bounded on two sides by expanses of water—on the west, the Pacific Ocean and to the east, the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico lies in both the temperate and torrid zones, with towering mountains alternating with broad plateaus, and scenic highlands giving way to untouched jungles. As you might expect with such varied geography, Mexico has many different climate zones, with consequentially varied plant life. Animal species are a combination of those found in North America and many others often thought of as more exotic.
