la verdad durante el cinco de mayo
Summary
Leaders from GreenLatinos and other organizations advocate for the preservation of Latino, Chicano, Hispanic, and Indigenous histories within U.S. national parks and public lands. They condemn efforts to erase these narratives, remove Spanish-language resources, and dismantle environmental protections. The statement links the spirit of resistance associated with Cinco de Mayo to current struggles against climate change, inhumane migration policies, and the erasure of scientific truth and civil rights history in federal spaces.
Key insights
