Today we are joined by Carlos Montes, an iconic leader of the Chicano National Movement. Carlos was the founder, spokesperson and minister of information for the Brown Berets. He was also a key leader of the 1968 Los Angeles High School walkouts, the Chicano Moratorium against the Viet Nam War, the mega-marches from 2006 and continues today as a leader of Centro Community Service Organization in Los Angeles.

Centro CSO held their 52nd Chicano Moratorium just last month; you can read it about it on Fight Back! News.

You can find Carlos online on his personal website, and you can find Centro CSO on all their sites:

We are also honored to have the episode closed out by Angel Naranjo, a high school senior and leader of Chicago’s Little Village Lawndale High School Fight Back! organization. Angel and their fellow students across Chicago walked out of class last year when Chicago Public Schools tried to force students into unsafe schools amidst a pandemic.

You can connect with Chicago’s Little Village Lawndale High School Fight Back! organization on their Instagram, and read more about the walkout they organized on Fight Back! News.
