CHICANO MEXICANO PRISON PROJECT (CMPP)
Inside and Outside Prisons: LIBERATION IS A STRUGGLE!
Inside and outside prisons, Raza are catching hell from white-settler vigilantes, the various police agencies, and the so-called criminal justice system.
As the current economic crisis of the racist U.S. imperialist system continues, the vicious attacks against the Mexican-Indigenous community will only get worst.
Through brutality, fascist-racist laws, irrelevant “colonial” education, and the locking up of our youth –we see how schools, police, courts, and prisons are being utilized to destroy our capacity to unite and defend ourselves!
To find solutions to this current situation will be central to the discussions and presentations that will take place at the CMPP’s Conference On Raza Prisoners And Colonialism. Organized under the theme of “Inside and Outside Prisons: LIBERATION IS A STRUGGLE”, the conference will be held on Sat. June 19, 2010, in San Diego, Califaztlán, at the Centro Cultural de la Raza.
The conference will focus on: (1) The Prison Industrial Complex: The role of capitalism, colonialism, and the mass incarceration of Raza. (2) Women and Youth and Colonial Incarceration: Why so many Mexicano/as-Raza are being sent to prison, how does it impact our community, and what needs to be done to end this situation. (3) Planting The Seeds Of Unity: Violence Among Colonized People In Prisons And The Streets. What is behind all the racial violence in prisons? How does it affect all of us? And what are the solutions?
JOIN US AS WE STRUGGLE FOR THE END TO THE MASS IMPRISONMENT OF MEXICANOS-RAZA AND OTHER OPPRESSED NATIONS AND COMMUNITIES!
