El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera
Vencido
Dia de Los Muertos,
new step for an ancient
celebration
as solidarity raises her
beauty & power
Candles amid the over 300 crosses
memorializing Mexicans
who died trying
to cross into the land of plenty.
Gloria Hernandez tearfully
remembering unidentified
bodies found along the border.
This candlelight ceremony gained
its great power and
beauty as another example of
the growing solidarity
among people-focused groups
in the Valley. Members
of Carpenters Union made the
crosses for Comité No
Nos Vamos (No we are not going).
The Comité members
marched with sound equipment
at a recent Carpenters
rally in a non-union north
Fresno housing development.
El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera
Vencido. A people united
will never be defeated.
Later, a few blocks away, a
more sedate celebration
of this pagan Aztec holiday
started under the towers
of St. Johns Catholic Church.
Hopefully, another sign
of growing people-focused solidarity.
Buy A Bale A Month Club
As reported in our e-mail message of October 12, member Vic

pledges to donate to SunMt $5 a month to buy, truck and store
a bale of straw for Baby SunHouse, SunMt's demonstration passive
solar straw bale-adobe dwelling. Purpose to develop engineering
data so that straw bale construction can become a part of the
regular building. The club will live until the project is fully
financed. You can join by sending in your first $5.
