Progressive Latinos Speak to America

:applause: Marching in spirit with the latino & latina demonstrators in the next couple days...

JUSTICE IS THE FRUIT OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Latinos are part of a long tradition of expanding democracy and prosperity by working against injustice and broken laws.

We believe that social responsibility is the basis for lasting social justice. We have duties and responsibilities to one another, to our families, to our communities and to society.

We believe that respect for people's rights is peace; "El respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz."

We have a steadfast belief in the promise of America; an untiring willingness to work to expand the American Dream; and an unfaltering vision for a brighter, better future of respect and honor for human dignity.

We will hold our community leaders, political representatives and ourselves accountable and responsible to these values.

4. Solidarity can be a problem.

You stand a better chance if you get the Mexican flag out of sight. You need solidarity with Americans, not solidarity with other illegals. Keep in mind that our soldiers are dying so you can protest in the streets, and act accordingly. Comprende mi amigo?

6. "our soldiers are dying so you can protest in the streets"
