Se re&uacute;ne cada s&aacute;bado a las 10:30 de la ma&ntilde;ana en la plaza pietonal de University y Main en el centro de Riverside. El Foro cuenta con part&iacute;cipes salvadore&ntilde;xs, mexicanxs, guatemaltecxs, y bolivianxs. Entre los temas m&aacute;s destacados en las pl&aacute;ticas del Foro son educaci&oacute;n, inseguridad econ&oacute;mica, y migraci&oacute;n.\r\n<br><br>\r\nLa fiesta de hoy se plane&oacute; para festejar y reconocer las contribuciones de la comunidad latina. Llegaron alrededor de 50 personas y sus familias, muchas de ellas con platos t&iacute;picos de sus pa&iacute;ses para compartir, no s&oacute;lamente a lxs invitadxs, sino tambi&eacute;n a las personas desamparadas.\r\n<br><br>\r\nUn pintor expuso sus obras, y el grupo Son Real toc&oacute; m&uacute;sica andina y mejicana.\r\n<br><br>\r\nA pesar de la participaci&oacute;n de varios activistas pro-inmigrantes desde su comienzo, este encuentro marca la primera vez que lxs indignadxs de Occupy Riverside une fuerzas con el movimiento migrante. El desalojo del campamento anti-Wall Street dio nuevo sentido al lema cl&aacute;sico \"Aqu&iacute; estamos y no nos vamos\" cuando se cante&oacute; entre lxs indignadxs. Y aunque cuestiones migrantorias suelen provocar controversia en el ambiente pol&iacute;tico conservador del Inland, el p&uacute;blico simpatiz&oacute; con los mensajes a favor de la legalizaci&oacute;n y en contra de la deportaciones, y reconoci&oacute; al pueblo migrante como parte del 99%.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<br><br>\r\nFor almost two months, the Latino Forum has meeting Saturdays at 10:30 at University and Main to bringing attention to the issues of the Latinx community. The Forum has members from El Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala, and Bolivia. Some of the issues that have stood out in their discussions are education, economic insecurity, and immigration.\r\n<br><br>\r\nToday's fiesta was held to celebrate and recognize the contributions of the Latinx community. About 50 people and their families, many bearing traditional foods to share, not only with each other, but also with the homeless and hungry.\r\n<br><br>\r\nA painter showed his work, and the group Son Real played Andean and Mexican music.\r\n<br><br>\r\nDespite the membership of numerous immigrant rights activists since its inception, today's gathering marked the first time that Occupy Riverside has joined forces with the immigrant rights movement. When Occupy Riverside chanted \"Aqu&iacute; estamos y no nos vamos,\" (\"We're here and we're not leaving!\") took on a new meaning in light of the eviction of our encampment. And while immigrant rights is often a controversial issue in our area, the public was sympathetic to pro-legalization and anti-deportation messages. There was also a recognition that the immigrant community is part of the 99%.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"rockero420@yahoo.com","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","summary":"S\u00e1bado, 17 diciembre 2011<br>\r\nRIVERSIDE (California) - El Foro Latino de Occupy Riverside hoy celebr\u00f3 tres meses de la existencia del movimiento &quot;Occupy&quot;
