#hispanic rights

I don't care what you believe, it's a fact that if you are an immigrant, a woman, black, trans, gay, or any religion other than Christian, Trumps reelection directly affects YOU and YOUR rights. it's not debatable, stay yourself, be loud. If we hide they win.

I am Mariel, I am 15 years old, I am a queer, Hispanic-American afab person. I am pagan, I wear a headscarf. I will not stop being myself for you or anyone.

The lack of Latino Rights posts on this website and everywhere else is highly upsetting

These are the reasons I'm sad. I live in a community that does nothing but tries to oppress and kill me because of the way I look and because of which genitals I have. None of which I had any control over. But does that matter to them? No. It never will. They will not be happy until I and anyone of the like is dead.

"White is better"

Where are the fired up white people fighting for Mexicans do you know we experience discrimination too where are the rally's the poetry slams the tv appearances where are they an it's just just us that are very well represented I know that but why I am still being looked down upon when I walk into a store with my father why do my darker little sisters get dirty looks why can't I hold their hand and people know that's my little sister why do people look at us as dirty why can't my parents walk together in peace why did my little sister tell me I didn't belong when I was younger because of my fair skin just as Mexican or Hispanic as she is why was I told as a child that white is better where the fuck is our rally's in The Supreme Court but yet I believe I don't need anyone watching out for my toes I can do it myself but I'm tired of the sneers an snide comments about my family go drink bleach my dad wasn't even out in the smarter class because of his skin color not his grades they thought he was a gang member so they have him an a by default and fear and I just feel like we're swept under the rug and forgotten And muffled screams

Today celebrates the 86th birthday of Cesar Chavez. He was instrumental in gaining more rights for Hispanic workers through the founding of the National Farm Workers Association. We can learn a lot about standing up for what we believe in from this man.
