Manifesto de las Mil Monarcas





By Susana Sandoval

Temazcal of the full moon
Where the multitudes of migrant souls lay dead
In the vortex of winter
Where dead children walking
Another life
Un baile trágico en el vacío del bordo
Una mariposa enjaulada
Quien es la flama y quien Es la moth?
Una campana infinita de cada mundo reciclado
En el nombre del pueblo
Hay un suspiro de libertad
Hay un albergue en una tierra triste
Que lindo pais tan cercana y
Tan Lejos del la frontera de cristal
Adonde Angeles terrestres se convertien en oficinas de nidos amorosos
Transformacion of mystery
Ni madre ni víctima más
43 sobrevivientes en la guerra espiritual
Desconocidos en la liberación
En común
Energía clandestina
Un bautizo del caudel
Una Iglesia universal
Transcendental
La persistencia de memoria
Una américa que amo
A definition of a jubilant tragedy
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Dos gigantes
Dos realidades opuestas desterrerando la fuerza
Demarcando la democracia
And the liberty of all
Una pared transparente
De memoria y justicia
A donde nombres siguen escritos
Con sangre
El grito de la lucha se oye!

On the tape, City Council President Nury Martínez, Councilman Kevin de Le ó n, County Labor Federation head Ron Herrera, and myself—all Latinos—spoke frankly about how districts based on the 2020 census could best represent the city’s evolving ethnic balance. At one point, the discussion turned to the jarring discrepancy that Latinos are half the city’s population but hold only four of 15 seats on the Council. That led to assessing which Council members might support expanded Latino representation and who might see that as a step back for other communities, particularly districts represented by African Americans. Balancing Black and Latino interes

OP-ED: It's the People's House, Disrespect at Your Own Peril

A BROOKLYN & BOYLE POINT /COUNTERPOINT EXCLUSIVE Guest Editorial by Richard Vásquez I, too, feel saddened and let down by the disclosures in the wake of the recently leaked audio recording of a conversation which took place during the course of a private, closed-door meeting held over a years ago at the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor offices. Present, we know, were L.A. City Council members Kevin De León, Nury Martínez and Gil Cedillo along with labor leader Ron Herrera. Of the four, I know Cedillo best. During our undergrad days at UCLA, we shared an affinity for progressive Democrats and a passion for the inclusive politics favored by some—but not all—of the first-generation Bruins from L.A.’s Chicano East Side whom we knew. Gil and I were inspired by the idea civic engagement and often spoke of how we might best serve our emerging community. Although I don’t know his Council colleagues well, I have had occasion to cross paths with both. Nury was the honored guest at
