Hermano/a Networkaztlan.com, as far as I know is one of the best venues for Latino activists for political exchange.

 Javier Rodriguez, March 25th Coalition

I believe that in the last several years many of us who have the luxury of being online have gotten daily and actively involved in progressive online groups via Yahoo and other online service providers. We share news articles, analyses and other news items amongst each other when time and circumstances permit us to do so and many of us are also local activists in our local communities.

In many ways, on a collective cumulative basis online groups have proven to be a vital means of getting the truth out about events in Iraq-nam, about attacks on humane rights including attacks on immigrant rights and have helped to expose the attacks by the Bush Rogue Regime against humane rights in general, in essence, reporting the news to its online members and letting the central kernal truths of these vital issues spread out to the general public. These online progressive groups together have brought about a new kind of citizen’s media.

Plus, as time goes by there are more and more blogs that are related to online groups. Thanks to the power of the Internet there have been great strides among world citizens to provide the truth about vital matters that are important to masses of people worldwide and we are only scratching the surface of Internet technology-based media. We are not dependent only on the corporate media and its gatekeepers. We learn daily and exponentially.

We world citizens will continue to uphold the truth as we see it, be open to valid, caring criticism and always be receptive to new facts as circumstances change, develop and expand along with our own humane consciousness.

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” --John 8:32

Peter S. Lopez AKA Peta de Aztlan

It is not fame or notoriety or money that Chicano art is about. It is about a truth we have bled over and continue to bleed over to this very day ... it is about being true to ourselves in the most honest and informed sense.

Ralph "Rafas" Lopez, c/s magazine founder

"Chicanismo ~ an attitude - Chicano is an attitude that is a composit of the culture - you know it when you see it... it's a walk ... it's a talk ... it's a style ... it's certain symbols ... it's certain themes ... it's a manner of presentation... it's a language... it's a manner of expressing oneself... it's born out of struggle to be heard, seen and acknowledged."

Oye! Chicanada. El Mental Menudo has invoked the gente to speak. The communication between us has awakened the fresh aroma of the mind. Menudo y tamales are great metaphor of intellectual comida. Let us assemble. Let us serve the menudo aesthetico para la union. La nueva de la Raza epocha es significant to those who have subscribed to the Aztlan Network and by those who want to forward Raza art endeavors.

Las comunidades virtuales chicanas presentes en Internet son muchas y variadas, por lo que en principio me ha parecido conveniente presentar solo las relacionadas con los grupos de discusión electrónicos. En nuestro trabajo de campo hemos localizado hasta el momento no menos de 50 grupos de discusión chicanos de todo tipo. Presentamos en este trabajo los resultados de los tres grupos de discusión (newsgroups) de los que hemos recolectado más información y profundizado en el análisis: Chicle List, Network Aztlan y soc.culture.mexican.american. Estos tres grupos de discusión tienen dos características comunes: están constituidas mayoritariamente por chicanos y los temas tratados en ellos se desarrollan en torno a la literatura, el arte y la sociedad chicanos.

The Chicano Movement is a civil rights a revolutionary duty to help awaken the people's political awareness and incite them to action, thus enables Chicanos to stand against the right-wing war in Iraq "as the passed examples: 60’s Vietnam protests, educational walk-outs, art of resistance, unions and worker’s rights, self-determination for Chicanos to stop drugs and gang warfare, included the Latino right to have a VOICE and a VOTE for Chicano people".

We promote Internet media as a vehicle for a message of liberation. Our Monitor(s) in any way possible are demanding “Chicano Power” as a step forward, not a step backwards, but a cycle of things to come, to measure, to ensure and win economic, aesthetic and social changes. The ballet box is not empty of respect and concern for reinforcement for our liberation. (The same implies to the Internet outlook). Online..We are a VOICE OF CHANGE, because of corresponding encouragement for “ACTION” that makes Chicano Power ‘leadership and liberation’” more probable in Aztlan.
