DESCRIPTION:  Cinco de Mayo:  In the Spirit of the Battle of Puebla  Resist Police 
 Brutality!  No HR 4437!  Demand Total Amnesty For All Undocumented Peoples! 
  Community March & Rally 5:30 PM  Story & King to King & McKee  (La 
 Tropicana) to (Plata de Arroyo Park)  Copwatch teams will assemble at Plata 
 de Arroyo Park at 8:00p and then be dispatched into the community. Bring a 
 video camera, a still camera and your homies!  Be out on the streets this 
 Friday night on Cinco de Mayo!  These streets are watching!  This Cinco de 
 Mayo honor the liberation struggle of the people of Mexico and build 
 resistance to police brutality through a community copwatch!  Eastside San 
 Jose is the home of the largest Cinco de Mayo celebration in Northern 
 California with celebrations, lowriders, cruising, art, music, and a huge 
 fiesta that feels like a 5 square mile block party.  Mexicano people claim 
 a day to party down, but the celebration of Cinco de Mayo started in honor 
 of the victory of Mexico against a French invasion force on May 5, 1862 at 
 the Battle of Puebla.  Mexico had spent decades fighting to kick out the 
 Spaniards (O.G., original genociders) and the Yankees (who stole half of 
 Mexico in 1845 to prevent their own Civil War which was raging in 1862 in 
 spite of their conquest).   Today, the liberation struggle is against the 
 repression of workers crossing artificial borders and against the 
 neoliberal economic organizations and policies (like NAFTA, FTAA, WTO) 
 which force them to cross the borders as their land is stolen from them by 
 the Mexican government to be sold to the greedy U.S. and international 
 elites.  The ICE raids and the Department of Homeland Security keep the 
 workers living in fear so they will work for enragingly low wages, and the 
 police are the first line of attack in this state terrorism against 
 undocumented workers and people of color in the U.S.  Basta Ya!  No Mas!  
 Enough!  No More!  Eastside San Jose has been the site of tremendous police 
 brutality for years.  Chicano, Latino, African, and Asian youth are 
 constantly being pulled over, detained, shoved to the ground, brutalized 
 and disrespected by the San Jose Police and the Santa Clara County 
 Sherriffs.  Many people of color have been killed by the police recently in 
 San Jose (Rudy Cardenas Presente!) and there has been no justice for their 
 killers.  The fear is real and everyone who feels it knows it must be 
 stopped.   All who believe in self determination and self defense for 
 communities under attack are invited to participate in a community copwatch 
 after a march for self determination and for unconditional Amnesty for the 
 people who live and work in our communities.   All power to the people!  No 
 More! (No Mas!)  &  Peninsula Anarchist Collective  \n
