DESCRIPTION:MARCH 2ND\n\nSpeak Out! Act Out!\nSan Jose, CA\n12pm @ St. James Park\n\n 
 \n\n \n\nWe, an alliance of youth, students of color, migrants, workers and 
 community members in San Jose, call for mass demonstrations on March 2nd 
 against the on-going budget cuts to education and social 
 services.\n\n\n\nThe uprisings in North Africa have shown us that we, youth 
 of color, must act out our responsibility to our community and take our 
 struggles to the streets. We must come together and demand Liberation 
 through voice and action. We understand that liberal acts and liberal 
 policies are oppressive tactics that are used to divide us.  Thus, we 
 believe that the welfare of youth, migrants, workers, and people of color 
 are tied together.  At this moment, we must join struggles and organize 
 against the state forces that have denied us and our families’ freedom of 
 expression and human dignity.\n\n\n\nWe demand:\n\n\n\n·         Full 
 Legalization for All; Stop Separating Families\n\n·         Stop the 
 Criminalization of Youth/People of color\n\n·         Stop the Cuts to 
 Community Centers\n\n·         Freeze the Fee Hikes; Public Education 
 should be Free\n\n·         Justice to Families of Victims Murdered by the 
 Police\n\n·         End U.S. imperialist Wars & Occupations\n\n\n\nOn 
 March 2nd, we invite all to express themselves through a speak out and we 
 will march from St. James Park to San Pedro Square to the Federal Building 
 to San Jose State University. On the day of, we invite everyone to wear the 
 calavera with us.\n\n\n\n“We wear the calavera on our faces to symbolize 
 that our ancestors and their struggle for land and life live within us. The 
 skull represents our alliance with the Alta Califas youth movement, and 
 calls attention to the death of public education due to budget cuts, in the 
 context of the many deaths and violence inflicted on our genteand tierra in 
 the name of privatization and neoliberal economic policy. We demand human 
 rights for all people and an end to economic and military occupations from 
 Aztlan to Palestine.” MEChA, Alta Califas Norte\n\n\n\nIn Struggle & 
 Solidarity,\n\nM.E.Ch.A Alta Califas Norte & March 2nd Committee\n
