Message will repeat in English San Diego, CA México Ocupado, 10 de diciembre de 2008 (Día Internacional de Derechos Humanos)- En ocasión del 60 Aniversario de la declaración de los Derechos Humanos, Unión del Barrio y la Coalición Pro-Derechos de la Raza, quisiera mandar este mensaje de solidaridad a los pueblos del mundo que luchan por alcanzar la Justicia, la Paz y la Dignidad. Desde la herida abierta de Nuestra América, la frontera (EEUU-México), Unión del Barrio comparte nuestra lucha que se manifestó este fin de semana en una Marcha de Silencio, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5xozMDfy-A Alzamos nuestra voz en éste día de lucha y nos sumamos a las voces que reclaman por una sociedad mas justa. Desde éste rincón del mundo decimos ¡Ya Basta! a las injusticias y a los actos de agresión que consternan la conciencia de la humanidad. Por eso decimos alto a las guerras genocidas y exigimos el fin a la guerra y ocupación del pueblo de Irak y Afganistán; creemos en el respeto a la soberanía de los pueblos y la auto-determinación de las mismas y exigimos el cierre de los centros de tortura estadounidense en Guantánamo y a través del mundo. Denunciamos enérgicamente el embargo criminal y genocida de Estados Unidos en contra nuestro pueblo hermano de Cuba, y exigimos la libertad de los 5 cubanos, prisioneros del Imperio; Nos proclamamos a favor de la paz, justicia y liberación del pueblo Palestino, denunciamos al sistema de apartheid Israelita, y unimos nuestra voz al clamor del pueblo Palestino por el alto a la guerra de exterminio que se desata día tras día. Exigimos el retiro inmediato de la ocupación de los territorios Palestinos y el derrumbe del Muro de la Muerte en Palestina; Así como en Nuestra America apoyamos las luchas revindicadoras por el respeto a los derechos de los pueblos indígenas por lograr la auto-determinación y la unidad Latinoamericana, así mismo apoyamos a las fuerzas progresistas y revolucionarias de la África que buscan unir su continente y acabar con las fronteras impuestas por el colonialismo europeo que por muchos siglos ha saqueado los recursos naturales de ese continente, privando a los y las trabajadores Africanos de sus recursos y condenándolos a la miseria. Nos pronunciamos en contra del plan militarista de Estados Unidos en África conocida como AFRICOM. Hoy mas que nunca, nuestra lucha por la Auto-Determinación, la Liberación Nacional, y la Reunificación de toda Nuestra América bajo un sistema económico mas justo, mas digno, mas socialista, nos obliga seguir luchando por los Derechos Humanos. Este Día Internacional de los Derechos Humanos levantamos de nuevo nuestra voz e invitamos al público a que construyamos el movimiento social necesario para alcanzar una vida digna para todos los seres humanos.

We invite you to view our activity at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stgzi0l9IgA In the same way that we struggle against injustice here, we unite our voice with the millions of people the world over that fight for justice and self-determination for all people on this earth and for the progress of all of humanity as a whole. >From this corner of the world we say ¡Ya Basta! (enough) to the continued acts >of aggression that perturb the human conscience. This is why we denounce the >genocidal wars of occupation against the people of Iraq and Afghanistan and >demand the immediate withdrawal of U.S. Occupation forces from these >countries; We stand in support of the sovereignty of all people’s and demand that the U.S. torture camps in Guantanamo Bay Cuba be closed and all U.S. military personnel leave Cuba. Additionally we repudiate the criminal and genocidal economic embargo against the Cuban people, and demand the immediate release of the 5 Cuban Anti-Terrorists currently incarcerated in U.S. Jails; We defend the rights of the Palestinian people to live in Peace with Justice and Liberation from the genocidal apartheid Israeli state, we demand an end to the genocidal war against the Palestinian people and call for an end to the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands which includes the abolishment of the Israeli Border wall. As we struggle here on this continent to unify Nuestra America, we extend our support and solidarity to all progressive and revolutionary forces in Africa who struggle against the illegal borders imposed on their continent by European colonialism centuries ago, but who continue to struggle to see Africa and her people free. This is why we oppose the military plan of the United States government known as AFRICOM as we know that this is part of a strategy that will continue to deny the right of Africans to access their natural resources and eventually will lead to continued oppression. For this reason we reaffirm our struggle for Self-Determination, National Liberation and the Reunification of Nuestra América under a more just economic system. We invite all progressive forces to join us in our struggle to build the necessary social movement that will lead us to the protection of Human=2 0Rights for everyone.
