DESCRIPTION:On Aug. 29, 1970 over 30,000 Chicanos marched down the heart of t Los 
 Angeles protesting the Vietnam War, the high casualty rate of Chicano 
 soldiers and racist conditions in the barrios. The participants included 
 youth and families of a mainly working class community with delegations 
 from throughout the Southwest including San Jose. It is important to 
 commemorate the Chicano Moratorium because it is part of our history of 
 resistance that is not always taught in history classes.  Today it is 
 important to continue the fight against the wars abroad and to protest the 
 military recruitment targeting Chicanos and especially immigrant 
 youth.\n\nIn San Jose, we have decided to commemorate the Chicana/o 
 Moratorium by hosting  a series of events throughout the San Jose State 
 campus on September 26th 2013.   As part of the Moratorium we will Aztec 
 Dancers & Conjunto Libertad set us up for a great day.  Around 2:30pm we 
 will have a film screening to educate people about the history and 
 significance of the original Chicana/o moratorium along with an exhibition 
 about the history of Chicana/o movements in San Jose. In the evening, we 
 will have a commemoration for Corky Gonzales and a community 
 panel-discussion on what can we do to resist wars abroad while creating 
 change that affects all citizens of San Jose. We invite everyone to come 
 and help us commemorate this great day in Chicana/o History!\n\n\nSan Jose
