For the last 15 years the Watsonville Brown Berets, along with families of fallen victims and other community members, have organized the Peace and Unity March to promote unity in our barrios. We utilize the medicines and ceremonies of our indigenous roots to help in this healing process as well as the message of social justice and liberation. Over the last 15 years, more than 80 residents of our community have lost their lives to violence. This must end! As a community, it is vital to remain proactive and send a united and positive message into all our homes and neighborhoods. It is important for us and this community to keep this March going. Just this month alone this community has experienced two more deaths due to violence. We can not push this effort forward with out your help. It is up to us to build peace in our community now! We hope to see you there

On Sunday November 4th the Watsonville Peace and Unity coalition made up of the Berets, the YWCA, the Resource Center for Nonviolence, EA Hall Middle School Mecha, Viernes Cultural and many more organizations held the 14th Annual Peace and Unity March in the barrios of Watsonville. The day started at 11 AM with a vigil and some short words from invited guests and the presentation of the Barrio Warrior Awards to Luis Alejo and Lilliana Barrios. Then the March was led as always by the White Hawk Indigenous Danzantes and was followed by some of the family members of victims of violence. Following them was the Low Vintage Bike Club which led almost 300 people with some smooth cruisers and other tricked out bicicletas. The march went off without a hitch and we just want to thank everyone who made it happen.
More to come soon but check this Indymedia article for some cool photos!
