DESCRIPTION:Honoring the lives of all those killed by police brutality \n\n35 year 
 angel-versary of Lil Milagro Ramirez \n\nBuilding unity amongst the 
 oppressed \n\nWe convoke her spirit of resistance as we recite her poetry 
 and give honor to her life. “Lover of peace, I want to struggle for her 
 desperately, because since the beginning, I have dreamt of peace.” 
 -Awakening \n\n\nA lawyer by profession, and a guerrilla fighter by 
 compassion, Lil was characterized for her intellect and courage. She was 
 part of a group of writers for whom aesthetic renewal and social revolution 
 went hand in hand. A daughter of educators, Lil played the guitar and 
 piano, wrote poetry, practiced yoga and was a vegetarian. Disenchanted by 
 the broken legal system, she decided not to practice law for she saw it as 
 an instrument of oppression by the ruling political class. \n\n\nLil 
 Milagro entered the People's Revolutionary Army in 1972, but due to 
 ideological differences, she broke with the organization in 1975, after the 
 assassination of fellow poet and lover Roque Dalton. After founding the 
 political-military National Resistance Movement (RN), she was kidnapped one 
 morning in August 1976 by the National Guard. Tortured for three years, Lil 
 was kept shackled, blindfolded and held completely naked. Allowed to eat 
 four corn tortillas and about 25 grams of beans per day with five grams of 
 cheese once a week, she died in this state of captivity. On the anniversary 
 of her death, we convoke her spirit of resistance as we recite her poetry 
 and give honor to her life and all those killed due to police brutality. 
 \n\nWe will then continue with a community event at the Eastside Cultural 
 Center from 8-1030p. \n\n
