On ALBA:
The Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA) is a cooperative trade agreement among nine Latin American and Caribbean nations. Formed as an alternative to the Free Trade Agreements (NAFTA/CAFTA/FTAA), neoliberal trade model, it provides workers and anti-imperialists with a real world alternative to the savage free trade agreements that have stunted Latin America’s economic, social, political and cultural development.
In contrast, the Bolivarian Alliance provides for the nationalization of natural and human resources for the development of the countries in areas of Education, Healthcare, Housing, Food Security programs and improvements in the area of Art, Culture, Science, Sports and Technology for improvement in the quality of life for the majority of working people, historically marginalized by colonialism and imperialist globalization.
Join us to discuss how workers in the US can build and support alternatives to neo-liberal global capitalism.
On MAY 1st
Mexican & Latin American migration to the U.S. has increased since the implementation of economic free trade agreements throughout the hemisphere. Today workers from Mexico & Latin America, forced to find work outside their countries have become modern day slaves to capitalism, and have been victims of systematic human rights violations such as: death at the border, separation of families, criminalization of workers, all part of US immigration policy.
In recent years the Mexican/Latin American workers have been at the forefront of building a movement for Immigration Reform and have identified with the international working class holiday of May 1st to demand our rights.
Come and participate in a discussion on ways to unite our struggle with the continental/international working class struggle for full rights and dignity.

Inside and outside prisons, Raza are catching hell from white-settler vigilantes, the various police agencies, and the so-called criminal justice system!Through brutality, fascist-racist laws (such as in Arizona), irrelevant “colonial” education, and the locking up of our youth –we see how schools, police, courts, and prisons are being utilized to destroy our capacity to unite and defend ourselves!
