About Me

Joining the Brown Berets:If you are interested in joining the Brown Berets, we first advise you to go through our blog and read our Code of Conduct, History, and Communique to be informed of our organization.History SummaryThe 60's are well known for revolution, civil rights, and freedom of speech. Rarely (if ever) do we hear of the Chicano Struggles and impact on communities at that time, or the present. Chicanos in the Los Angeles area were tired of police harassment, discrimination, and being treated as "less-thans" because of their heritage, color, and socio-economic background. They wanted to strive for equality, justice, solidarity, but most of all peace. They began organizing and helped bring community awareness to the Vietnam draft, politics, and even political representation just to name a few. This was the birth of the Brown Berets. Their struggle paved the way for educational opportunities, community centers, and programs for our youth.Issues such as Proposition 187 and 209 have sparked awareness and action in our community, only to lie dormant after a few months.With the May 1, 2006 uprise and roar of representation, the Brown Berets of Modesto had established itself. In collaboration with Aztlan Rising, The Nation of Islam, Modesto Anarcho and Wingnuts Liberation Project, to name a few, we plan to promote community organization and awareness. With solidarity amongst The Brown Berets of Watsonville, Salt Lake City, Dallas and Los Angeles we promote change throughout Aztlan, plan to grow and make a progressive change for the safety of our children, schools, and barrios.Â»-(Â¯`vÂ´Â¯)-Â» Design your MySpace with MyLook Â«-(Â¯`vÂ´Â¯)-Â«Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
