Dated in 2002, this source demonstrated the modern effects of the Chicano movement as it surpassed the civil rights era and revealed its success in the position of recognition from these institutions. As the document reveals, it is a bulletin/posting which encouraged students to join the Chicano/a organization of M.E.Ch.A, a student led group that focuses on Chicano/a empowerment and Chicano/a political action. Creating these groups not only provide a safe space for other students of color as the posting says it is open for everyone, not just Mexican-Americans. It allows for a group to educate young Chicanos/as in their adroitness in the political sphere to create changes that benefit them and other marginalized groups.
This picture taken in 2006 demonstrated the lasting effects of the original Chicano movement and how it is incorporated today, tackling social issues that need to be addressed in today’s day and age. In this case, photographer Oscar Rosales Castañeda illustrates the main plight that is seen today with immigration. Connecting this to my theme, this showcases the continued effort on part of the lasting effects chicano/a activism left behind. Now with much more representation, beyond Latinos and incorporating other ethnicities, the immigration issues not only are deemed as a social issue but as a human rights issue. Expanding from only domestic issues to much more broader ones that affects communities on a global scale.
