Nos Unimos

The following is from an email I received from la mami más chula, la Irinacita.

PUEBLOS OPRIMIDOS NOS UNIMOS
Como latinoamericanos y caribeños conocemos muy bien la represión del imperio norteamericano que nos ha plagado desde que nos deshicimos de los españoles. Ellos han dominado nuestras economías, ejércitos y gobiernos para robarnos de nuestras riquezas. Es por eso que salimos a la calle y gritamos ¡YA BASTA! con esta guerra injusta de Estados Unidos al pueblo Iraki!

Hoy en día los pueblos del mundo estamos creando una emoción de Conciencia Mundial y es por ese lado que debemos empujar la lucha. Porque los pobres y oprimidos de cualquier parte del mundo también son mis hermanos y hermanas.

Como luchadores y luchadoras por un mejor mañana necesitamos unirnos por encima de estas fronteras falsas para poder tener más victorias en los años que vienen. Primero que todo somos pueblo, luego por factor cultural somos latinoamericanos, caribeños e indígenas.
NUESTRA PATRIA ES AMÉRICA
