It’s noteworthy that these current protests started off being led primarily by East LA high schools, as students from those schools in 1968 walked out of their classrooms to protest inequality for Mexican Americans in schools. 15,000 people joined them. Police confronted organizers & arrested 13 ppl

These protests come months after the Palestine solidarity "student intifada," which LA schools took part. USC started it off! The UCLA encampment stood for a week before police raided the camp, resulting in an hours long battle. CSULA took a building & beautiful barricades.

Students should also understand their connection to student-led immigration related protests here in LA. In 94, over 10,000 young people from more than 30 LAUSD schools walked out to protest Proposition 187.

In 06, nearly 40,000 students staged walk outs and blocked freeways

The state’s goal is to silence you and stop you from recognizing your own power in speaking out and taking action against injustices. But guess what? There are many of us out here still fighting. Join us.

I think there’s also a generational connection to the Zoot Suiters who were abused by police and the state in 1943. The Chicano Pride movement certainly ties back to that in taking on the powers that be. They were the great great and great grandparents of today’s teens.
