On the real tip....
I've been putting in work for la lucha since birth.. still trying to replant my own seed of creativity and rock the ideas i've add for 10+ years. Started a bit of a floetry back when you wouldn't hear xicana voices on the mic, and have been so focused on organizing for liberation and others arte-- that I forgot about my own. What you see here and what will be seen-- is "mi otro yo" Bienvenido to mi vida loca....puro paisa...xicana power with MC's, mujeres en ceremonia front and center. P/V

A 12 años de la masacre en la que le quitaron la vida a 45 tzotziles, entre ellos niños y mujeres embarazadas, sigue sin haber justicia para las víctimas y sus familiares ni castigo para los responsables.
En este país la impunidad se disfraza bajo el discurso oficial de una "justicia" en la que lo único que hace el estado es deslindarse y tratar de ocultar un crímen.
