celebrating Puerto Rican revolutionary youth: Sept. 23, 1968, #YoungLords founded in Chicago, & the next year in NYC by Puerto Rican youth devoting their lives to lift exploited communities out of poverty & to fight against police violence, imperialism & racism. The Young Lords organized their community demanging: - Regular sanitation services; - They fed poor children with the Young Lords breakfast program; - they went door-to-door bringing medical home visits (with nurses & doctors assistance) testing local children for lead poisoning, and adults for tuberculosis. #latineHistoryMonth #BLM Abolish #ICE defund anti-Palestinian genocide NOW! https://www.liberationnews.org/09-07-28-young-lords-palante-lessons-in-html/ https://www.liberationnews.org/09-02-10-the-impact-black-struggle-on-pue-html/ https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/young-lords-founded/ https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/young-lords

My parents lived at #HuntsPoint in the #SouthBronx #NYC from 1969 to 1971, they were friendly with members of the #YoungLords, they would tell stories of how the police were afraid to come to the neighborhood after dark and the witnessed early #HipHop block parties.

On this date 1919: Racist #Riots in #Chicago. Racial tensions continued for decades, but there was also #solidarity & organizing in 1960s-1970s. #RainbowCoalition= #YoungPatriots + #BlackPanthers + #YoungLords.

This morning, @NYCMayor had the gall to compare himself to the #YoungLords while speaking on a radio show.

The Lords fought against police violence and did everything they could to meet the needs of the people. Adams has done the exact OPPOSITE.
Against a red background, a recent picture of Mayor Adams speaking, with a circle with a line through it over his mouth, above a black and white picture of a group of Young Lords protesting in the streets. Large text reads "Get the Young Lords outta your mouth" Against a red background, a black and white photo of Young Lords marching in the street with a sign that says "El partido de los Young Lords sirven y protegen a su gente". Above, against black background, a tweet from Chris Sommerfeldt @C_Sommerfeldt: "Speaking about his indictment, Adams claims he was unfairly targeted in the same way the feds went after Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and the Young Lords. "I'm the Young Lords of today, and that is why when you fight for working class people...you come under fire," he says. For context: The federal corruption probe into Adams began before he became mayor and long, long before he ever criticized Biden for migrant policies. The Young Lords, a socialist group, was a target of the FBI's highly controversial COINTELPRO surveillance program."

In the 1960s, the #YoungLords, a coalition of #Latino & #Black youth, launched the “Garbage Offensive,” demanding the city provide proper sanitation services by blocking the streets with piles of trash. They also set up several community services. #NYC
Black and Brown communities continue long history of mutual aid
Titans of industry like JD Rockefeller and JP Morgan famously supported several learning institutions like Spelman College.
