No revolutionary hangs himself. No revolutionary kills himself. Julio was a revolutionary; he had been a member of MPI for ye3rs in Puerto 'Rico, and when he' came to this country he joined the YOUNG LORDS. He lived for his people, he Ijyed every day striving for a revolution: He loved life, he had no reason to die other than in battle for his people and his is/and. He lived his thirty-four years to the fullest - and he _ murdered.

On October 30 of this year, the YOUNG LORDS PARTY will go to the united nations to present the case of the Puerto Rican Nation. We will be there along with thousends of friends for Puerto Rica1 Liberetion.

Why should we gI) _-. ... "1 lepuse the u.n. is iupposed 'to -bi'tfMt' highest intarnetionel authority, end the fact that Puerto Rico .. a colony of the uni1ad statas is an imBr~ proti/em, not a lOcal one. The u.n. outlawed soIonies many v-s ego, and ordered all' nations to release their colonies. The uni1ad statas still openly owns Puerto Rico, by regulating our trade, economy, POlltlca.sociaI J1andards, culture, language, and~ educ:atiort. :There is not a _t of a Puerto' Rican's lift that is not controlled in sOme way by amerikkkL We _ a people. Wiler. a natIOn. W. have earned this .. a fact .of 'our opprasion.We have many things in common, but what binds us is the daily battle for survival we wage aliainst the united statas, against the low wages, against the racism, against the fatal abortions. against the rats, and against the polica. We have outlasted the ..... iard$, and now we struggle against the an.ikkkans.

The U.s.a. tries tit say that the "Puerto R_ .ProbIem" is a local issue, like Ii city ...... ~ .... ~.,... or how -.y ~ •• __ ~.""'Thilsis. tr. w.".,~~. we_ Puerto RiI:ImI. ~ two .,. incOmpatIble. There is no tUeh thing 1$ a Puerto Rican-amerikkkan. Ariyone who says they .,. Puerto R ican-gringos .,. fools living in a world of fantasy. Ain' .. no piece of paper can make a Jpic a yanqui.

Tbe colonization of Puerto Rico is an inwmat~I~.~acow~,ourca. must be heard before the u.n. ~ a people of coWr. we .,. part of the Third World Family· Latinos, Blecks. Indians. and ~s . What does this maan1 It means that going into the

_II a servica and killing Vietnamese is like killing your mother. It means that anything that goes down between oursalves and the united states should be treated .. a relationship between one nation and another. It means that being drafted for Puerto Ricans is the same .. the U.s. drafting a cat from Bangkok. India. It means that being put in a U.s. jail is like snatching someone from Ghana in Africa and putting them in the jOint hare. It means that the Puerto Rican nation has a right to datermine its own destiny.

The first point of the YOUNG LORDS PARTY 13 Point Program states. "WE WANT SELF·DETERMINATION FOR PUERTO RICANS .- LIBERATION ON THE ISLAND AND INSIDE THE united sta.". The island of Puerto Rico must be sat free of outside rule. and we must eliminate 'the capitalists. the businessman, and politicians from our midst. We must live in a socialist society, a sharing, people society, if we want peace. All revolutions have been based on land. Zapata fought for land. Jefferson· fought for land. Land is the base on which people build, and Borinquen is our base.

From Borinquan, we moved to the u.s.. where there is no defined land. except the ghettoes we have been thrown in. So in the unH8d statas wewillt\llm .. with our frilnds all OIl« the co.mtry"to1Irtlllfslo_1hose Who have power now. In the"' .... wherever a spIc stands. 1Iaeos. sits. or shits. she or he is ()JJpreSai. Right on the spot, at that _to we _ being colonized. Therefore. we must all fight from that spot. In the IIni1ad states as on the island we must struggle for liberation.

We must struggle for Puerto Rico end against the united states.

We must struggle for freedom for those of us in the meximum security cells( as opposed to the minimum security cells. the streets ) end in the armed serv icas, ind against wardens. polica. drill instructors, ganarels,

YORVBA " '

politiCians, businessmen, and commi~ We must struggle for healthy, secure lives

and against genocide. We must struggle for international peace

and against U.s. imperialiSOl and war. We must demand this at the u.n. on

October 30. Next year may be too late.

Las fuerzas armadas del Partido estaban dirigidas por Don Juan Jaca, EI plan era que cada junta en cada pueblo atacaria los precintos de policias y apoderarse de las armas en BUos, y despues ir a Utuado donde eI ejercito se reuniria a empezar la guerra de guerrilles an el centro della isla.

f1£SSAQ£ F~Of1 A R£t;oLlIT'ONA~Y QOf1PANt~A :

I address myself to the members of the YOUNG LORDS PARTY and to all Puerto Rican, Latin America!,1,. North A~ican patriotic organizations Of N4ijly o~ in short, to all men and women in the new struggle for people's liberation who have made the Independence of Puerto Rico their cause, and who will unite in front of the United Nations building the 30th of October to demand the irAinedlete withdrawal of the yanqui invading forces from our land and the recognition of Puerto Rico as a sovereign and· Independent I1IItioA.

J -.d you my most c:ormal meisage of tra18mity and -\imi1ude on behalf of the heedom Iovlrig people of Puerto Rico, who On that· same . day of October 30th will be gatfIer8d totether solemnly in a National AsiembJv in the town of Jayuya to proclaim and reaffirm the validity of the cry for liberty that we uttered In those mounteins on October 30, 1960, exactly 20 years ago.

That 30th of October a general uprising 1O()Ic piaca in the who ... island. There were shoot-out battles in the barrio Macena of PenueIat, in Utuedo, Ponce, Arecibo and in front of '" . - offiCial nisIcleIICi Of

.·W •• ·$wr\ ~. ... own headqu_l, te1:tIng to the city hat! and the federal offfces of the u;a.; that 11, the post offica and tile army recruiting office (which at thet tima was recruiting Puet'to R ice", to serve as cannon fodder in Korea). The municipality of jayuya was under the po_ of the revolutionaries for three days, under the c;ommand of Elio Torrasole. Elio is the brother of our martyr, Grlselio T orresola,

.. who feU November 1st in front of Blair House in Washington when as a participant in this nIVOIution he want with Oscar Collazo to shoot the president of the u.s.

'n Jayuya, the u;a. flajl$ were lowered'

from all the public buildings for three days and the Puerto Rican flag was raised in a building in the center of the town from where we illlUed OIH' freedom fII'OC'amation with the cry of VIVA PUERTO RICO LlBRE! '

The lackey government of the colony under the command of the traitor Munoz Marin mobilized the pigs, the badly namad National Guard, and launched it against Jayuya, occupying the town after having bombed and strafted it from its planes. Our people overcome, the leckeys at the service of YlllVJli imperialism handed over the control

'of the town to the insular, federal, and lnurikfpal functfOneries In a publIC ceremony.

This ceremony which Was Photographed by the newspapermen is the tacit reminder that our pciople proclelined their independence for­three days and that it repudiated the intervention of the u;a. in our fatherland.

This struggle of 1960 waS nurtured with the blood of our purest men. Once more the sacrifice of our martyrs. consecrated our sovereignty; for in that glorious step we reeffirined our desire to be free, continuing the chronolgy· of our independent republic began in Lares.

The 1 ....... '11on of .~ftIIIe ...... ,,7

namas-th8 lest one, tI1e'so-caIled "free associated state." This intervention has been fought against in whatever form this island has been abIa to, 'this small island that hes known how to rise up, especially in the last 40 years under the inspiration of the hero and teacher Don Pedro Albizu Campos. Puerto Rico has kept up 8 _ for its liberation from the first encounter in 1932 In which Rafael Manuel Suarez Diaz offered his life on the stairs to the capitol building to the recent death of another student, Antonia Mertinez, who less than a yaar ago fell, beaten down by the imperialist's bullets in the University in Rio Piedras, and the burning of the 2000 draft cards in Lares on September 23. The

struggle has had many martyrs and hundreds of Puerto Ricans have suffered imprisonment, which demonstrates our unbeatable determination to reestablish the independellCe of Puerto Rico which was proclelmed in Lares andJayuya.

t,.odav Puerto Rico is suffering the most rnonstruous intervention as our territory is surrounded with lend basas and submarine basas with powerful jltomic weapons that, because of the smallness of the island, can cause the destruction of all the Puerto Ricans and the totel disappearance of the island from the map of the wctr~d.

And as if this horrible menece were not enough, genocide is being pel peb ated in the most ~way with a,maash,."boI,IIfto hou~to force _ wOma.. ..... e U.s. form of birth control. The plan is to prevent the birth of more Puerto R leanS. At the same time, they stop the advancement of

our youth when they recruit them to take them to their deaths in the fields of Vietnam. On the other hand, they have no qualms in firing over the heeds of the Puerto Ricans whO live on the island of Culebra and the U.s. merines have the audacity to ask that the people of Culebra abandon their island because the almighty marine of the biggest empire in the world has decided to use this island as a terget for their military practicas.

Friends of the demonstration in front of the United Nations, I invite you to prepare a document including these and other violations to the human and poIiticel rights of our Puerto Alcan fatherlllflCl and to present them to all the delegates to the United Nations and

,·to'8IIthe'Ctliefs"of stIifY'Gf .n'tHe COthlUWof the world •. I ask you not to stop and to continue picketing periodically the United Nations to demand 'the liberty·!)f O\Ir.

, prisoners of _ in the jailS of the'-unl'llld' stetesr(our patriots~-'iOscar Collato, Lolita Lebron, Rafael Cancel, Andres Figueroa, Irving Floras, and Carlos Feliciano.

To all of you gathered there on that day, we say to you, forward, always forward, every day with more faith in the ultimate victory. If on that day or in following days, the United Nations plays deaf to your demand, you Puerto Ricans who are there, come beck to our Puerto Rican countryside and let us redouble the fight without mercy and without rest from ell the engIas and by whatever means necessary until we obtain the liberty of Puerto Rico. -

Primero. desde eI principio de alluldIaM el Partido NacIoneIista, Albizu fue etaeado 'pol' eI !JObierno yanqui como fueron IIIIIC8doS todos que se ·rebeleben. los yanquis decian que Ia razon pOI' Ie c:ueI Alblzlt peIeaba .era porque astaba enoja,do que en' Harvard se Ie habia ditcriminado. y no porque IIIItlIbe aI

Esto aumento latendancia a mirarlo como gran genio y no como hOmbre sensillo, representante de la vida diaria de todo '9oric:ua oprimiso. Entonces que importancia tiene don Pedro?

Albizu fue el pri.... Puertorriquefto en levan tar las armascontra eI invasor notteamarieano. Lo hizo en un tiernpO cuaRdO 18 miIyOria deBoric:uas ~. ya

i ' "-"~'s' 1;

CAMPOS accomodandose a la creciente ocupacion, la iliminacion de nuestro idioma y el robo de nuestras tierras. Este levantamiento de armas fue con un valor inigualable en nuestra historia, desde los tiempos de Betances. Toclavia hoy nos sirve como ejemplo. Albizu mismo estuvo muy conciente de la necesidad del valor para Iograr fa liberacion cuando dijo, "La patria as valor y sacrificio," y cuando sinnumero de v_ probo su propio valor.

Ademas, el resucito elestUdio y la lmportancia de la historia y cultura Puartorriquena. en vn .. 1iempo. -cUando los yanquis hacian todo para Iograr que nos olvldaramos de ambos. Asi consideramos a Albizu como gran hombre, y gran luchador en fa largll y dura fucha par nvestra liberacion que /leva el pueblo de Puerto Rico. Pero a 1a misma vez, que 10 alabamas. no podemos permitir que se santifique.

• Hoy la lucha de boricuas en la isla y aqui en las entranas del monstruo yanqui ha progresado desde los tiempos de Albizu. Vemos que cuando el liderato del Partido Nacionalista fue arrestado, no quedaben cuadros entrenedos para segu ir y intensificar la lucha. Por eso hoy nos concentramos en ese desarollo. Vamos que Albizu nunca brego con Ie reelidad que somas un pais mayormente Africano y que las mazclas que occurrieron enti'e espanoles, Indios.. y Afrftanos no nos dejp espano1izante, col11O at deci& Sabemol hoy tambien, que para lanzar la Iucha armada, se tiene primero que organizar y crear un

movimiento popular que pueda sostener y lIevar acabo una guerra popular de todo

Puertorriqueno y no de un grupo 0 partido. Por fin, hoy para Puerto Rico al punto de

extincion a las manas de las companias nortearnericanas que nos hacen producir riquezas con las wales ellos se queden y que nos roben nuestro cobra, 1ierras. bosques, y islas--sebemos que sera _io ir mas alia de fa independencia en nuestros objetivos y buscar otr8S forrnas de manejar una sociedad y una economia differentes a las axistententes formas capitallstas. que los yanquis han usado. para robarnos nuestra riqueza. En1IIndemos fa nececidad de uh socialismos autantico Puertorriqueno que. nazca de nuestra lucha cotidiana.

Pero todos estos adeIantos en nuestra lucha no Ie quitan a Pedro Albizu eampOs su grendeza' como Boricua que dedico y dio $II

vida por la libaracion del pueblo Puertorriqueno.

LA PATRIA ES VALOR Y SACRIFICIO! QUE VIVA PUERTO RICO LIBRE! EL DEBERDE TODO PUERTORRIQUENO ES HACER LA REVOLUCION!

When we ask our parents who AIblzU Campos was, many of them _ that 118 was a violent man, crazy and full of h.for the yanqui. Othars say that ha was in intelligent man, even the most intelligllnt Puerto Rico has produced, but that he used very bad methods, that he tried to do it the hard way, and that is why ha failed in his purpose. We may still find others who say that don Pedro Albizu Campos was the greatest patriot of this centrury; the most valiant Puerto Rican of our history, equal only to Betances; the fathar of our counu-y; If today we ask one of the many yanquis who from their universi'tllHnd ~t offices,

Of his actual life we know a lot. He was bom at the beginning of this century ,in Ponce, the pearl of the south. Whan he was a small boy, as he himself reported years I.r, he was able to hear the great patriot Jose de Diego recite his nationalist poems and from those days in high school ha felt the great love for his country that later on served as an example to every Puerto Rican.

Inhuman living conditions, bugs, rats, rotten food, filth, endless waiting for trials, and sick, erazy guards who laughed While we suffered beatings forced us to act if we wanted to SUNWa.

We took over the Long Island Detention Houll where man are SUfJPOIIKI to ba held waiting for court appearances. We ware treated lika animals even though the consti1ution says we ere innocent until proven guilty. We took over the institution and took hostages so that the wor\d could know what was going on in this so-called land of the free.

After our demand for bail reviews .. met, my case was the first one to .. called before the bail hearings held inside the prison. I bad a $3,500 beil, and they _ through the case and pBroled rna in my own CIMtody. The charta was' possassion of $toIen property. I was in the joint for two mon1flS before the case finally carne up.

politicos con las vidas de nuestras gentes. EI obviamente ha decidido tratar de ganarse los votos conservadores de la gente de la derecha en nueva york par medio de u'sar la brutelidad en la gente que este peleendo por los derechos basicos del ser humano. Durante 18 rebelion en las prisionas, lindsay y mcgrat(l

a el clero que Investigara el sisterne de las

prisiones y el asesinato de Julio. Aunque la ley 4.36 de 81 codi90 penal

permite al claro entrar a las piisiones con abogados para ver a los deteriidos en sus celdas, los politicos estan tratando de esconder la verdad a la gente. Ellos piensan que pueden cubrir los crimanes que han sido cornetidos dentro de las prisiones eligiendo a un politico millonario del Partido Democratico William vanden Hueval,para controlar eI sistama de correccioneles. .Pues, asesjnos,l~ g8llte no v0tBl'il por.~~;,r~.~IS;, .• no vamos a confiar Ia vida de nuema gente a nueve hombres escogidos par Lindsay--iISO , as coma dejar que los asesinos investigell el

Nosotros decimas que as "deplorable" que nadia las haya metido una patada a esos dos y los haya sacado de la ciudad.

This week's Pig of the Week Award is shared by Mayor Lindsay and his commissioner of the Department of Corrilctions, George. McGrath. Lindsay has been lying to tha public, playing political' games with our people's lives. He has obviously decided to try to win tha support of New York's right,wing conservative voters by brutalizing'Peopie f~ing for basic human rights.

During tha prison takeovers, Lindsay and McGrath promised no reprisals if hostages were released. They later watched savage beatings by correction guards acting on their orders. When asked about photographs of these beatings, tha lying dog that is mayor of this city said, "I have been told there were injuries on both sides." I njuries on both sides! Every person in this city saw tha pictures of our brothars being clubbed and kicked by tha animals that patrol the prisons.

It was no surprise then that Lindsay and his puppet, McGrath, refused to let clergy investigate tha jail system and Julio's murder. Even though Law 4.36 -of tha Penal Regulations allows clergy to go inside tha prisons with lawyers to see inmates in their eells, the politicians are trying to hide tha truth from tha people. They think that they can cover up tha crimes being co~itted in tha prisons by appointing a millioneire, Democratic Party politician, William .. vanden

:';L ,,=,~A\:,~ won't go for it;· we·... not truSifMg our people's lives to nine man picked by £lndsay himself-that's like latting tha killers investigate the killing.

Lindsay has said that the armed takeover of tha People's Church is "deplorable and a sacrilege." We say that the true sacrilege is tha treatment of prisoners in tha jails because they have been denied access to the clergy. We say that it's deplorable that no one has kicked your two asses and run you out of the city.

A Puerto Rican brother, DiniCio "Johnny" Perez, 22, was murdered in cold blood Friday night, October 2, on Ceuldwell Avenue in the Bronx. He was killed at approxilnetely 7:30 p.m. by 4 bullets fired at close range from a policemen's gun.

JAYUYA

uon Pedro heard about the arrests, he made a decision. If the government were going to arrest, jail, and kill the Party members. they may as well move now, start the revolt. He knew they could not win. He also knew it 4s batter to die fighting for freedom than to live a slave. So he gave the order that on noon, Tuesday, October 30th, the revolt should begin. , •

The armed forces of the Party were led by Don Juan Jaca. The plan was that each junta

.". .... __ --__________ ,..-.. in each town was to attack. the ~ police precinct, get the guns in the preci&f, __

to Utuado where the army would ba ufli1ed and .guerrilla warfare wou Id begin in the center of the island.

A few days before, Don JUan' went personally to the most trusted militants in each town and told them the plan. The Republic would be proclaimed and independence would ba fought for with sweat and blood. In San Juan, the forces were Ie(I by Raimundo Pacheco, a brave and great Puerto Rican revolutionary. But one of the mambars of the group who was hiding the guns, disappeared the morning bafore and took the guns with him. When the 600 mew assigned to attack the fortaleza arrived at Ii square in the town, there were no arllls. They were soon picked up and arrested. Unable to

attacked the fortaleza themselves and were killed... . i~

People from all opprassed communities should learn from the murder of Johnny Perez, bacause unless we act now, one dey a brother or sister from your block may ba murdered in cold blood by the police.

You get payback by learning, teaching, and organizing to protect yourselves and your Communities. People should learn from the murders of Johnny Perez and Julio Roldan that the. police are there" to keep us in our place by enforcing the rulas that the ruling class (lindsay, rockefeller, nixOl\. mitch8n) make to keep themselves in power.'
