Take action against MEChA’s racist agenda

The United States has long defended the pursuit of liberty against those driven by reckless hate, possessed by the worst of tyranny. Government by the people, for the people, is a moral imperative for any free society.

Yet across the campuses of the United State’s great academic institutions, an enemy of freedom lurks in the shadows of multiculturalism. The organization known as Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan is one of the largest student groups in the country. Under the guise of community service, MEChA has secured legitimacy and power in academic governments across the country, including USC and LA Trade Tech. 

Although considerable, MEChA’s philanthropy does not excuse its extreme and racist agenda. For too long MEChA has gone unanswered for the hateful proclamations of its founding document known as El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan. Created in 1969, this belligerent manifesto has been hailed as quintessential to MEChA philosophy in official documents recent as 2014 by MEChA de USC & Mecha de LA Trade Tech .

In short, El Plan de Aztlan calls for the seizure of the southwestern United States. In subscribing to this document, MEChA refuses to recognize American sovereignty, convinced the United States illegally occupies the ancient birthplace of the Aztecs, known as Aztlan: “Aztlan belongs to those who plant
the seeds, water the fields and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. We don't recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent. ”According to the plan, MEChA intends to revolt against our institutions and our way of life: “Lands rightfully ours will be fought for and defended. Land and realty ownership will be acquired by the community for the people’s welfare. Economic ties of responsibility must be secured by nationalism and the Chicano defense units.”

MEChA’s plan promotes hate for the “gringo,” as the organization looks upon Americans as evil invaders of its land: “Those institutions which are fattened by our brothers to provide employment and political pork barrels for the gringo will do so only as acts of liberation and for La Causa. For the very young there will no longer be acts of juvenile delinquency, but revolutionary acts.”

Amazingly, MEChA has grown to significant numbers in recent years, infiltrating hundreds of colleges and high schools, brainwashing students with its sick racial fanaticism. Based upon a complete analysis of El Plan, it appears as if the organization’s ultimate goal seems to be a national division and violent race war. 

Like the Nazis, MEChA advocates ethnic nationalism as a call to arms, seeking political power outside the established institutions of this country. “Political liberation can only come through independent action on our part, since the two-party system is the same animal with two heads that feed from the same trough. Where we are a majority, we will control; where we are a minority, we will represent a pressure group; nationally, we will represent one party: La Familia de La Raza!”

This is nothing short of a declaration of war as El Plan de Aztlan calls for the formation of a new apartheid regime in place of the United States government. “We declare the independence of our mestizo nation. We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation,we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlan. Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.” (Translation: “For the
race everything, for those outside the race nothing.”)

Conceived in hate, fueled by racism and fixed on treacherous revolution, MEChA is a danger to the intellectual and moral standing of USC and LA Trade Tech.

Ethnic segregation and racial nationalism are the ways of fascists and have no place at USC or LA Trade Tech. If MEChA does not publicly renounce the hateful proclamations of El Plan de Aztlan, then
its funding must be frozen and official status revoked. Like the Aryan Nations and the Ku Klux Klan, MEChA’s manifesto subscribes to a philosophy of racism, violence and treason.

The founding ideals of the United States, equality and justice, and the guiding principles of USC and LA Trade Tech, tolerance and diversity, are simply incompatible with MEChA’s beliefs. In this historic choice between tolerance and bigotry, we must hold MEChA accountable for its rhetoric, sending a clear and simple message: USC & LA Trade Tech are havens of learning, diversity and tolerance, not a front for racism, treason and fascism.
