Luis J. Rodriguez Speaker
This Saturday, August 30, 2025 I will be part of the 55th Anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War at Salazar Park, 3864 Whittier Blvd. in East Los Angeles. Starts at 10 am. On August 29, 1970 some 25,000 people marched and rallied in the largest anti-war protest in a community of color at the time. Sheriff’s deputies and LAPD attacked a peaceful crowd at Salazar Park (then called Laguna Park) that lead to the so-called East L.A. riots, the murder of three people, including the Chicano journalist Ruben Salazar, and millions of dollars in property damage. I was there–arrested, beaten, and disappeared for days on end when most other arrestees were let go within hours. This story is part of my memoir “Always Running.” I’ll be there to speak on the significance of the Chicano Moratorium to our struggle today against ICE/Homeland Security and the current fascist regime. La Lucha Sique. ¡Pero en otro nivel!
