"Festival del Pueblo"

Boston, May 1–5, 2002

A five-day-long gathering with anarchist bookfair, free school, community carnival, concerts, radical sports tournament, marches, demonstrations, and direct actions.

As yuppies increase the cost of living in our neighborhoods; as greedy landlords raise our rents and drive us out of our homes; as the police enforce racist policies, persecuting and caging like animals our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters; while politicians turn a blind eye...

The voice of the people calls out demanding justice!

     As businessmen exploit "illegal" immigrants who live under the constant fear of deportation or worse; as we get paid less even though everything costs more; as we are forced to waste our youth and our old age in the indignity of shit jobs; while even union officials turn a blind eye...

We unite our voices to better our lives!

     From the workers who died in the 1880s fighting for the eight hour work day, from our Latin American brothers and sisters who have fought so long for freedom, from the Black liberation soldiers who died victims of racism, from the immigrants of all countries, legal or illegal, who rise up and demand that they not be shoved aside...

We draw our inspiration!

     From May 1st - 5th, those of us who are sick and tired of being cold all winter, of living on too little food, on too little money, of being harassed for being the wrong color; those of us who are tired of struggling just to survive will come together in Boston in a struggle to truly live...

This is the Festival del Pueblo!

A 5-day celebration of resistance, of community, and of freedom. Visit the website for full gathering details.
