Welcome to Para Justicia y Libertad

Para Justicia y Libertad (For Liberty and Justice) is based on the principles of Emiliano Zapataâ’s manifesto, el Plan de Ayala. Zapata had a strong belief in social justice. The Plan was reminder of the hardships and oppressions that many have been suffering at the hands of corrupt government officials in the past.
The first signature to the Plan was by General in Chief Emiliano Zapata and followed by over forty revolutionary leaders. Preceding the signatures were the words liberty, justice, and law.
The Plan of Ayala can be compared to our Declaration of Independence – they are both manifestos calling for governmental and social change.
This blog is intended to follow the same principles as the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the Plan of Ayala – un voz ¡Para Justicia y Libertad!
Xicano/as, it is time to awaken the sleeping giant from its long slumber!
This is our wake-up call to rise up against our oppressors with hopes of a better future. ¡Viva La Raza!
�.. la ignorancia y el oscurantismo en todos los tiempos no han producido mÃ��Ã�¡s que rebaÃ��Ã�±os de esclavos para la tiranÃ��Ã�Âa�� (Emiliano Zapata, en una carta dirigida a Pancho Villa)
