Cinco de Mayo: A Day of Struggle Against Imperialism in 1862 and 2026.

The United States has organized a military coalition of right-wing Latin American governments called Shield of the Americas that has designated Mexico as the epicenter of “narco-terrorism” with President Trump threatening military intervention to “dismantle the drug cartels.”

The heroic May 5, 1862 Battle of Puebla against French imperialism serves as an example to those in the United States who are currently fighting a growing authoritarian government that is daily restricting democratic rights, impeding economic opportunity and inclusion for all, and destroying cultural diversity through police-state tactics against black and brown populations and trying to erase the many civil rights gains by minorities and women.

Join El Chuco Habla on Tuesday evening May 5th at San Jacinto Plaza in downtown El Paso to listen to speakers and live music denounce the Trump administration's incessant threats of military intervention in Mexico.

Help us send a loud and clear message to Washington: Hands Off Mexico - No U.S. Military Intervention!
