Tendremos nuestra 2da Marcha Oscar – Mandela en Nueva York el lunes 22
de junio de 2015. Empezaremos a marchar pacíficamente
a las 9 AM desde Hunter College, en la calle 68 y Avenida Lexington, hasta la Calle
43. Haremos una izquierda para marcha en
dirección Este para llegar al parque Ralph Bunche (al otro lado de la Organización de
Naciones Unidas).
Allí, repartiremos hojas sueltas para orientar al público sobre nuestro
prisionero político Oscar López Rivera y la relación colonial entre el gobierno
de Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico. Estaremos
en el parque hasta las 5 PM.
La mayoría de la gente no sabe que, todos los años, usualmente el
lunes después del Día de los Padres, la Organización de Naciones Unidas (ONU)
celebra una vista para discutir la descolonización de Puerto Rico. Los peticionarios usualmente
se unen a nuestra protesta después que terminan sus ponencias en esta vista.
La ONU determinó en el 1960, que el colonialismo es un crimen en contra
de la humanidad. Desde entonces, la ONU
ha emitido 33 resoluciones pidiéndole al gobierno de Estados Unidos (EEUU) que descolonice
inmediatamente a Puerto Rico. EEUU ha
ignorado esta voluntad de la comunidad internacional. ¿Qué tipo de democracia es eso?
El gobierno de Estados Unidos trata de mantener nuestra relación colonial
la más secreta posible. Lo que nosotros
estamos tratando de hacer es sacarla del closet. La ONU está en su tercera década tratando de
erradicar el colonialismo del mundo. ¡Por favor, ayudemos!
La mayoría de la gente tampoco no sabe que el Gobierno de Estados Unidos le
saca 14 veces más dinero de lo que invierte en Puerto Rico. ¡Pero, para eso son las colonias!
Esta explotación salvaje le impide a Puerto Rico ofrecerle oportunidades
a los puertorriqueños en Puerto Rico. Por
eso es que tenemos más puertorriqueños afuera de la isla que adentro.
Oscar López Rivera ha estado encarcelado por 34 años por su lucha para
descolonizar a su país. Por ser un
crimen (el colonialism), la ley internacional le da a Oscar el
derecho de usar todo los medios necesarios para descolonizar a su nación. Nelson Mandela estuvo 27 años encarcelado por
hacer exactamente lo mismo que Oscar. Por eso decimos, ¡Oscar López Rivera es
nuestro Nelson Mandela!
Compañeros Unidos para la Descolonización de Puerto Rico invita al público a
ser parte del tsunami de gente que será necesario para obligar al gobierno de
Estados Unidos a excarcelar a Oscar y a descolonizar a Puerto Rico. ¡Nuestras protestas anuales son absolutamente
necesarias porque, los que mantienen colonias no creen en la justicia para
todos!
We will be having our 2nd
Oscar – Mandela Protest March on Monday, June 22, 2015. We will start marching peacefully at 9 AM from Hunter
College on East 68th Street and Lexington Avenue, to East 43rd
Street and Lexington Avenue. We will
then go East (turning left) to end up at the Ralph Bunche Park on First Avenue (across
from the United Nations).
We will be at the park until 5 PM. We will be giving out flyers and talking to people about who Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar López Rivera is. We will also be educating the public about Puerto Rico’s colonial relationship with the government of the United States (US).
Most people don’t know that every year, usually on the Monday after Fathers’ Day, the United Nations holds a hearing about the decolonization of Puerto Rico. The petitioners usually join our protest after this hearing.
The UN determined in 1960 that
colonialism is a crime against humanity.
Since then, the UN has issued 33 resolutions asking the US
government to immediately decolonize Puerto Rico. The US government has ignored these
resolutions. What kind of democracy is
that?
United Partners for Puerto Rico Decolonization invites the public to be part of the tsunami of people that will be necessary to make the US government comply with the UN resolutions. These annual protests in Puerto Rico and at the UN are absolutely necessary, because, those who maintain colonies, don’t believe in justice for all!

The US government tries to
keep these hearings a secret.
What we are trying to do is to get them out of the closet. The UN is in
its 3rd decade trying to make the world colony-free. Please help us!
Most people also don’t know
that the United States government takes out 14 times more money than what it
invests in Puerto Rico. But, that is
what colonies are for!
This savage exploitation
impedes Puerto Rico’s ability to provide opportunities for Puerto Ricans in
Puerto Rico. That is why there are now
more Puerto Ricans living away from Puerto Rico than in their homeland.
Oscar López Rivera has been
incarcerated for 34 years for his struggle to decolonize Puerto Rico. Since colonialism is an international crime,
international law gives Oscar the right to use whatever means
necessary to decolonize his homeland.
Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for 27 years for doing the same thing as
Oscar. This is why we say, Oscar
López Rivera is our Nelson Mandela!
