Our MBDC member went to a protest in February in Los Angeles fighting for the rights of brown people. Their mom is an immigrant so this made them really mad. When the administration started ending DACA, they had to speak out, especially since they were born in California.

“Rise, Brown Souls”
In streets of fire, where justice calls
Brown bodies gather, standing tall
Their voices echo, a chorus so grand
Demanding freedom, in this promised land
From ancestors’ struggles to present-day strife
The fight for equality, a constant, burning life
Against systemic chains, they raise their fists
Refusing to be silenced, their spirits persist In every corner, a story unfolds
Of resilience, courage, and hearts that never grow old
From farmworkers’ fields to city streets so wide
Brown people unite, side by side
Their protest is a symphony, a rhythm so bold
A cry for human rights, a story to be told
Of freedom, justice, and equality for all
A dream that’s yet to come, but will not fall
So let their voices be heard, their message clear
For brown people’s freedom, they will persevere
Through every struggle, every tear, every scar
They’ll rise, united, near and far.
– Eva Barrios, MBDC Member and native Californian

Mountain Bears Democratic Club’s**** March Madness meeting was just that MADNESS!
