About
The Gathering’s Mission
The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.
Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.

we fought this war for our own land,
we lost that fight, they chopped off our hands.
“DON’T SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE, NOTHING READ”
“All WE WANT IS WHITE NOT RED”
we fought this war for our own land,
we lost that fight, they plopped cuffs on hands.
“DON’T CROSS THIS BORDER INTO TOWN”
“All WE WANT IS WHITE NOT BROWN”
we fought this war for our own land,
we fight it still with our own hands.
“DON’T SPEAK UP SPIC, DON’T PICK A FIGHT”
“I JUST WISH YOU WERE ALL SNOW-WHITE’
We fight this war for our own land,
I can’t be white and join your Klan.
“YOU WILL LOSE, THERE WILL BE BLOODSHED”
“THIS DAY WILL YOU PEOPLE DREAD”
We fight this war for our own land,
Eventually, you will see we all bleed red.
This is the road that I will choose,
And in this fight YOU will lose.
“NO, YOU CAN’T”
“SI, SE PUEDE, AND YES WE CAN”

Am waiting for your mail to my email address above because i have alot to tell you,
Lot's of love,Miss Vera.
AT PRESENT DATE I AM DOING RESEARCH ON THE DISCRIMINATION OF CHICANOS/CHICANAS BORN IN THE U.S WHO WERE DELIVERED BY MIDWIVES. THIS KIND OF ABUSE BY THE HOME SECURITY APPARATUS IS STILL "ALIVE AND WELL" TODAY AGAINST THE U.S. BORN SPANISH SPEAKING COMMUNITIES AT-LARGE. .
IT SO HAPPENS THAT I LIKE MANY OTHER ETHNICS OF COLOR, WERE DELIVERED BY A MIDWIFE, ...PARTICULARLY BROWN PEOPLE ALONG THE U.S. / MEXICO BORDER FROM SAN DIEGO, CA. TO MY BIRTHPLACE OF BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS.
WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO OBTAIN A PASSPORT TO GO VISIT MEXICO, I WAS "PUT ON HOLD" ON MY APPLICATION FOR A PASSPORT. I WAS ASKED BY THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE OF HOME SECURITY TO PRODUCE "OTHER" MORE DETAILED DOCUMENTS THAN I HAD ALREADY SENT THEM.
EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN MY PASSPORT, BUT THIS EXPERIENCE LEFT ME WONDERING IF THIS WAS ANOTHER PLOT OF THEN PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH'S "DE JURE" ("LEGAL") CULTURAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS?!
IN ORDER FOR ME TO WRITE AN "EXPOSE", I NEED DOCUMENTED STATISTICS OF ANYONE OF COLOR WHO HAS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS DILEMMA.
ALSO, THERE IS NO DOUBT CAUCASIAN PEOPLE WERE ALSO DELIVED BY MIDWIVES, ...I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES TOO.
I AM A FORMER NEWS JOURNALIST AND COLUMNIST FOR SEVERAL BLACK OWNED AND SPANISH LANGUAGE PUBLICATIONS. I ALSO CO-FOUNDED IN THE EARLY 1990sTHE FIRST BLACK & CHICANO RADIO PROGRAM AT LOS ANGELS BASED PACIFICA'S KPFK 90.7FM; "THE TEAM OF TACOS & GRITS".
ANYONE WANT'S TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT HAND, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO.
THANK YOU.
