Hola hermano, I hope this message finds you in good spirit. I wanted to touch base with you and hope your received my email. Give me a call when you have the opportunity. Peace and blessings!
I found a quote by a guy named Tad Williams; it reminded me of our last circle when we were discussing what a home was.
I will like to share it with you.
"Never make your home in a place.
Make a home for yourself inside your own head.
You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory,
friends you can trust, love of learning, and
other such things. That way it will go
with you wherever you journey."
This poem is dedicated to Oscar Grant and the other Oscar Grant’s
Bullets piercing the bodies of my people,
I thought the constitution said we are all equal.
Puppets in this world voicing our sad stories,
Eyeballs filled with sanction killings by police sissies.
When will the shooting stop from the hired guns,
Good men die while marksmen freely run.
Mothers hanging on to the last breath of there child,
Minutes go by and she grows more, wild.
Murders are banging Her heart to death,
Riots seem old, it outgrows the poor, and defiles.
Bigots were crushed by the hands of peaceful men,
Cries didn’t come from guns, but from there mouth and pen.
Lead an army of soldiers with guns and rocks, and we will be crushed,
Because violence begets violence, when we are rushed.
Heal our broken hearts with sage and gospel song,
The real ordeal is to fix the pain of wrong.
Forgive and forget, seems to far fetch,
But I promise, you,
Brother Killing Brother, Sister Killing Sister,
Others shooting others to enact revenge,
Its like rhyme with no reason, it doesn’t end.
I want to thank Paradise, for being my inspiration. I hope that our words reach Oakland, and we can be there for them, and heal, organize, and do things the right way. Because you and I know, riots are what the oppressor wants. It gives them a reason to oppress. Destroy the violence, and they have no tools against us.
Aloha nui Brahda Juan,
How are you my spiritual brahda with a "Great Heart of Gold". I've been in contact with our brahda Julien and we have started to create dialogue of what we have experienced their at kalani honua. I have been creating kaneuhanenui's program to orginize in our future of the value of life that we all share in this wonderful world. How is your dreams ? Have you seen any stars later ?
Aloha brahda Juan,
It's been an awsome experience to meet a you guys . Always seek to see that Ho'ailona(s) "signs" . Always listen to the still voices for they shall tell us what our Na'au "Gutt" knows as the truth.

Hi Juan, I work with Alex Santillanes. The Barrios Unidos in Yakima, WA. I met you in Oakland California. I doubt if you remember me, but I just wanted to tell you how much you have inspired me. I talk about you with my students. You are an inspiration. Hope to hear from you.
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”
c/s It's a new day.
