<p>Miembros de la comunidad se dieron cita en el Parque Chicano el pasado domingo 3 de septiembre en una muestra de apoyo a este parque y a sus murales en medio de temores de que se realice una manifestación de ultraderecha en este sitio.</p>
“They wanted to take the park from us from the beginning. They tried to destroy it several times, but [the Park] is here to stay, and it is not just standing still, it is growing.”

<p>Truth be told, when I first sat down to write this, I had no idea where to begin.</p>
<p>As I struggled, it occurred to me that this week marked 8 months since the forced disappearance of the 43 students of Ayotzinapa in Guerrero Mexico, what better place to begin. It is after all, what launched me, and my art into new levels of dedication and involvement, leading me to writing this column today.</p>
