Some of the relatives of the 43 students who disappeared last September in Mexico marched in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday to bring attention to their cause.
The march began at the Olvera Street plaza and end at the Mexican consulate.
The family members are visiting more than a dozen U.S. cities to rally support from Mexican Americans and others.
The students have not been seen since Sept. 26, when they were stopped by Iguala police.
Supporters said they can’t imagine the pain the families feel in the face of so much uncertainty.
"We all can sympathize with their cause. It’s such an aberration, such a horrific situation what they are living in Mexico," said demonstrator Ana Quintero.
Mexican prosecutors say they have been able to identify the remains of one student who was burned in a garbage dump.
Mexican authorities investigating the disappearance said they were turned over to a drug gang, which killed them and incinerated their remains. But the families of the victims say they have not seen definitive proof of their deaths, and hold hopes that the students missing are still alive.
