Our New Anahuac

The mural at the University of Houston’s University Center is an icon. The mural showcases leaders of the Chicano Movement along with Uncle Sam in the middle as the embodiment of a calavera. Different historical images of Mexican history are painted throughout the mural. It is a political statement as much as anything else, but [...]

Some students and staff at UH have provided alarming information that the Chicano mural at the UC, painted during the historic Chicano Rights Movement, might be removed due to proposed renovations at UC. Please sign this petition, which we plan to use in organizing to make sure that the mural stays up. Sign the petition [...]

Compas, I wanted to take some time to recap my understanding of what we discussed at our first meeting.  The subject of our meeting was the need for an idea like the Mexica Church (or whatever we will call it).  What we decided was that some of us will continue investing some time to see [...]

I have spoken to some over the past many years and months about the need to be able to communicate the principles of Mexicayotl to the people. Mexicayotl is the spirit behind the rebirth of indigenous traditions, conscience and spirituality. In many cases, it is the spirit behind Danza Azteca, Temazcales (sweat lodges), and ceremonias. I have even mentioned to some the idea of a [...]

The other day, I thought that it might be good to change the name of this group to Progresista Voter’s Union. The concept of a union is vivid in the minds of many people. As an individual, it is difficult to bargain with the company. As a group, they are forced to listen, or you [...]

It has been a couple of weeks since the battle over began to heat up. Only two weeks ago, most of the city’s Latinos were united in rejecting the plan presented by the City Of Houston, which most of us call the Parker map. Since that time, many different groups have presented their plans, and [...]

It is a group dedicated to pushing a progressive Latino agenda by more closely organizing and directing our votes. I know that I am not alone when I say that for [...]

La Raza Justice Movement will offer summer study sessions. Sometimes, we get so caught up in the battles, that we forget to understand the war. Come learn about the thirteen beliefs of La Raza Justice Movement. It is my hope that these study sessions, not soon, but later will give rise to something important and [...]
