Culture as Organizing—Art, Music & Media as Tools of Resistance
In times of crisis, art is not a luxury—it is a necessity. In the struggle for migrant and working-class rights in the United States, culture has been not just a witness, but a protagonist. Today, amid a wave of systematic racial persecution that criminalizes those who work the hardest and earn the least, art once again becomes a trench.
Los Jornaleros del Norte
While armed agents raid Latino neighborhoods, and hate speech spreads from political and media platforms, there is a response that will not be silenced: a guitar that won’t give up, a voice that doesn’t tremble.
Los Jornaleros del Norte, a band made up of migrant workers and organizers, has transformed their musical instruments into peaceful weapons of resistance. They don’t fire bullets—they fire truths, filled with love and resilience, with cumbia and color.

No More Lies! ¡No más mentiras!
Dismantling the myths that target our community. Every day, politicians and the media repeat lies to blame immigrants for the country’s problems. But we know the truth. We are an essential part of the working class that sustains this country.
“No More Lies” is a series of videos, conversations, and tools to debunk those falsehoods, tell our story in our voice and organize against hate and misinformation.
La Talacha
La Talacha is a print newspaper created by and for immigrant and working-class communities. It is a tool for organizing, raising consciousness and building community from the ground up.
La Talacha draws its name from the tool that digs, clears, and prepares the earth —a fitting symbol for a paper that breaks through silence, racism, and injustice. La Talacha tells our stories from our own perspective, rooted in truth, dignity and resistance.
Inspired by revolutionary worker newspapers like El Machete, La Talacha channels the collective power, rage and love of our people. It is like the people’s hoe, breaking the concrete of injustice and sowing seeds of consciousness and action. This paper belongs to all of us — and in times of raids, may we never be without it.
