Thousands of people have taken to the streets in cities across Mexico protesting against the disappearance of 43 student teachers from the southern state of Guerrero, nearly two weeks ago. The students went missing on 26 September after a convoy of buses they were travelling on came under fire.

We’d like to hear from Mexicans who’ve taken part in the demonstrations. Share your pictures and stories and tell us how you’d like the government to respond. We’d also like to understand what the situation has been like in Mexico for you and your family and why the latest events have triggered a national protest.

Though we’d like to hear from you, your safety and welfare are most important – so please think about this when recording and again when sharing your content with us.

You can share your photos, videos and stories by clicking on the blue ‘contribute’ button on this article. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the new Guardian app and search for ‘GuardianWitness assignments’.

We will use the most interesting contributions in our reporting.

Nos gustaría oír de mexicanos que han participado en las protestas. Envía tus fotos e historias y cuéntanos cómo quieres que el gobierno responda. También nos gustaría entender cuál ha sido la situación en México para ti y tu familia, y por qué los últimos acontecimientos han desencadenado una protesta nacional.

Aunque nos gustaría oír de ti, tu seguridad y bienestar son lo más importante – así que por favor tenlo en cuenta cuando estés grabando y de nuevo cuando estés compartiendo tu contenido con nosotros.

Puedes compartir tus fotos, vídeos e historias haciendo click en el botón azul “contribute” en este artículo. También puedes usar la aplicación para smartphones GuardianWitness o entrar en la nueva app del Guardian y buscar “GuardianWitness assignments”.

Usaremos las contribuciones más interesantes en nuestra cobertura.
