54. "well said. i'm friends with an LA founder, alex sanchez" In response to In response to 24 Thu Feb-01-18 07:18 PM by rawsouthpaw
peacemaker/activist director of homies unidos. powerful brother. you basically said all that needed to be said, especially around us imperialism / involvement in el salvador's civil war which of course contributes to the chaos that refugees flee.
peep this 12 minute edit of a DOPE film called "fruits of war", which i screen in my LA high school before inviting alex into my classroom. some of the students are newcomer immigrants who just fled the violence he helped to launch decades ago and can't believe he's alive and walking in LA with a message and org pushing peacework and advocacy.
