COMMEMORATION OF THE HISTORIC AUGUST 29TH NATIONAL CHICANO MORATORIUM MARCH
COMMEMORATION OF THE HISTORIC AUGUST 29TH NATIONAL CHICANO MORATORIUM MARCH
August 28, 2010- Los Angeles Marcha, Unión del Barrio joind the co-organization of the 40th Commemoration of the August 29th Chicano Moratorium of 1970. Then, 1970, was the call to end Raza’s participation in the colonial-imperialist war of aggression on the heroic Vietnamese people. Today we refuse to participate in, and call for the end to, the colonial-imperialst war of aggression in Irak & Afghanistan. Our War is not in Irak or Afghanistan; our war is here at home, in our barrios against migra/police terror, for justice, dignity, self-determination!
THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES
Today, 40 years later, as is evident by the Nazi-racism openly attacking Raza in Arizona and as the U.S. wages imperialist wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we understand that the need for “organized” struggle continues (la lucha continua!). For this reason Unión del Barrio upholds the statement, “It is on the 40th anniversary of this historical march that the political and ideological struggles of the 1960s and 1970s are more relevant today than ever.” (See, “40th Anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium March of August 29, 1970”, Guerrillera/os de La Pluma, Journal of the Raza Press and Media Association, Summer 2010).
To commemorate the August 29th March and to organize our community to fight back against the racist-fascist violence that is coming down throughout the United States (Occupied America), Unión del Barrio sponsored a “unity and struggle” forum on Thursday, August 26, 2010. The forum, held at the Centro Cultural de La Raza consisted of a panel of speakers, film, and dialogue.
