To All,

Chicano Press Assocation has created the CPA News Wire at http://www.egroups.com/group/chicanopress.

All articles and messages are open to the public view.

The primary objective of the CPA is to advance the struggle for Raza self-determination by promoting and unifying the progressive Chicano press/media.

Essential to this process is confronting stereo-types espoused by the U.S. bourgeois media. The CPA holds the position that Raza are colonized, indigenous people and that the so-called "Southwest U.S." is in fact Aztlan, part of the Mexicano nation, stolen in the U.S. expansionlist/imperialist war of 1846-1848.

Furthermore the CPA will commit itself to combating all manifestations of oppression and exploitation. Central to putting into effect our objectives the CPA membership will actively get involved in the day-to-day struggles being waged by our movement and by our people. As part of this movement activism, the CPA will commit itself to organizing study sessions, forums, give presentations and disseminate information/liberature/publications to our communites to help raise the political consiousness of nuestro pueblo.

All articles/statements/news will be subject to approval from "collective of editors of CPA" to assure that it meets the goals/ojbectives of CPA.

If you agree with the objectives of the CPA, join the CPA News Wire.

Un Pueblo - Sin Fronteras,

Chicano Press Assocation
