Press Release FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bruin Alumni Association UCLA Bruin Alumni Association Outs
Villaraigosa as a MEChA Racist
May 8, 2005; Los Angeles, CA – The Bruin Alumni
Association announced
the start of a 10-day media and protest blitz to educate the citizens
of Los
Angeles about current mayoral candidate Antonio Villaraigosa’s radical
background
as a leader of the UCLA chapter of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de
Aztlan
(MEChA) from 1972-1975. The BAA will
make the first of multiple protest appearances on May 8, 2005, with
others to follow. Contact bruinalumni@bruinalumni.com for future
dates. Archival investigation
of UCLA campus
newspaper The Daily Bruin have
revealed that Villaraigosa (then known simply as Tony Villar)
engineered the
removal of the director of the Chicano Studies Center for his refusal
to
include “community involvement,” specifically from the Communist
Chicano group
“National Committee to Free Los Tres.” The
NCFLT, as the full story on www.bruinalumni.com
shows, was a Marxist-Leninist faction whose goals included the creation
of a
"revolutionary vanguard" dedicated to the "liberation of the
Mexican people." MEChA itself holds
similarly racist,
separatist and treasonous views. Its
founding
document El Plan Espiritual de Aztlan
states, “We do not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze
continent,” declares
that “For the very young there will no longer be acts of juvenile
delinquency,
but revolutionary acts,” and introduced the motto “Por la raza, todo,
fuera de
la raza, nada (For those of the [Hispanic] race, everything, for those
not of
the [Hispanic] race, nothing).” Bruin Alumni Association
President Andrew
Jones stated, “As a recent alumnus of UCLA, I have had first-hand
experience
with the radical philosophy and violent practices of the UCLA MEChA
chapter
that Antonio Villaraigosa helped build. We
call on Mr. Villaraigosa to publicly and
unequivocally renounce his
association with MEChA.” Until Election Day on
May 17, the BAA
will be protesting at multiple Villaraigosa campaign events and
conducting a
wide-ranging media campaign to educate The Bruin Alumni
Association, a
non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 2005, serves to educate UCLA
alumni
and the general public about campus matters, including the radical
take-over of
the student body, faculty, and administration, and seeks to take steps
to
reverse the ongoing destruction of UCLA’s good name. |
