DESCRIPTION:	\nFriday October 14th, 2011\n\nRally in Cesar Chavez park(910 I street, 
 Sacramento, CA) at 2:00pm\nMarch to State Capitol at 3:00pm\n\nIn protest 
 against:\n1. Deportations\n2. Cuts to Education\n3. Threats to reduce 
 Ethnic Studies Classes\n4. Colonization\n6. TO DENUNCIATION COLUMBUS DAY 
 (OCT. 12TH) OFF ALL 
 CALENDARS\n\n\n===========================================\nCarnales and 
 Carnalas,\n\nAs Columbus day approaches we take up on ourselves to denounce 
 this day as a glorification of Colonialism and the atrocities it committed 
 against our ancestors.\n\nWe call on all Chicanos and lovers of justice to 
 join us in our struggle to denounce this so-called celebration and turn it 
 into a day of resistance against attacks on nuestra Raza, our people.\n\nWe 
 are tired to see how this bad government, cuts education and social 
 services alleging there is no money, while it incarcerates our people and 
 finances deadly wars abroad; the newest one being on Libya. Instead we have 
 this war at home, were our people are losing their homes and jobs while the 
 banks are plundering our wealth.\n\nWe are tired of seeing how in this 
 so-called post racial society, our people who have migrated to this land, 
 are scapegoated for the failures of capitalism. It angers us to be called 
 “illegal aliens” when it was our ancestors who inhabited this lands 
 before Columbus came to conquer and plunder this land. Now in contrast our 
 people are forced to risk their lives crossing a further militarized 
 border.\n\nWe are tired, of seeing how this racism against our communities 
 keeps on growing, now Ethnic studies are under attack, and in places like 
 Arizona, the right to know our own history is ilegal.\n\nWe are tired to 
 see how after exploiting and repressing our migrant community, politicians 
 manipulate “undocumented” students and the “immigrant” community 
 giving false promises about legalization in order to gain the so-called 
 “latino vote”. \n\nIn California, we have seen how Jerry Brown and 
 company claim to have passed the CA-Dream Act, when AB 131, the most 
 significant part of the bill has not been passed, at least since the time 
 his statement was written.\n\nObama, has set a record for deporting 1 
 million of our gente. Many of this deportations have been done through the 
 program ironically called “Secure-communities”. But instead of security 
 it has created fear in our barrios and broken apart countless families. 
 Currently the president has recently pulled a move halting 300 thousand 
 deportations. It is our belief that this is just a move to get himself 
 re-elected in 2012. His action is not a law, therefore it remains to see 
 how it will be implemented and how long it will last.\n\nAnd the program of 
 “secure-communities” which has deported so many of our people and 
 caused fear on our barrios still in place.\n\nBut this statement is not to 
 victimize ourselves. What we are doing is a call to action to start a 
 movement in defense of our basic human rights and to pursue the justice to 
 which we are more than entitled.\n\nInstead of playing victims, we ask that 
 you organize with us this coming October 14th, to say ¡YA 
 BASTA!\n\n\nEndorsers:\nMEChA Central Tlatokan Ameyal\nSan Jose State
