The Chicano/a Revolution: The Fight For Chicano Education And Social Justice Rights With Joshua Abyeta

Why I Choose This Social Issue

My Instagram Post

The issue of educational disparities and the lack of recognition of Chicano history is not just a historical problem but continues to be a relevant concern. I just learned about the Chicano Movement my senior year of college and wanted to bring more awareness to this issue because this is concerning

I admired how the issue of Chicano Education and Social Rights is not just about one community but about promoting a sense of unity and community among people from diverse backgrounds. This choice reflects the importance of working together for social justice. It's not just a Chicano Revolution its a deeper revolution.

I admired how the song ¡Que Vivá Revolution!, can be a powerful means of advocating for social justice. It introduced me to how art and culture, such as music, can be harnessed to raise awareness and inspire change.

My PSA focuses on the social issue of Chicano/a social justice rights in Colorado, particularly highlighting the need for awareness and reform in Education. This PSA sheds light on the historical injustices and disparities faced by Chicano students in the education system, taking inspiration from events like the West High Walk Out. By expressing the importance of equitable education and social justice for Chicanos and other marginalized communities, the PSA points out the significance of addressing these issues and advocating for change in Colorado. The song ¡Que Vivá Revolution! by the band Los Mocochetes is a powerful tool to raise awareness about this issue. Inspired by the West High Walk Out, the song effectively communicates the need for Chicano social justice rights, especially in the realm of education.

The PSA's message is clear: music can effectively convey social justice messages and engage people in issues like Chicano Education and Social Rights in Colorado. Los Mocochetes' catchy and engaging music captures a broad and diverse audience, much like popular music genres. Their upbeat, revolutionary songs encourage individuals from various backgrounds to connect with the message and advocate for change.

The power of popular music lies in its universal appeal, transcending language barriers and rings emotions. It can raise awareness and rally people for social justice. The PSA highlights the ¡Que Vivá Revolution! as a powerful force for social justice advocacy, connecting with diverse audiences and expressing messages of change, equity, and equal access to resources.

What I Found In My Project As It Relates To The Course Concepts

My PSA points out how music is used as a powerful tool for social justice. It demonstrates that music can raise awareness about social issues, inspire individuals to stand up for their rights, and engage a diverse audience. By addressing messages of change, equity, and equal access to resources, music can mobilize people to advocate for social justice and drive positive social transformation. We have studied music from Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino who have displayed similar messages about the need for social change in the U.S. through social commentary in their songs as well. The song ¡Que Vivá Revolution! by Los Mocochetes exemplifies the ability of music to serve as a medium tool for social change through social commentary in their lyrics. It expresses their frustrations /with our past president, racism and capitalism. It highlights how a social revolution is need desperately as well.It calls for change, equity, and equal access to resources, and it encourages individuals to stand up for their rights and work towards a more just and equitable society. The text we have studied and concepts we have discuss all go back to the idea of engaging and encourage individuals of different backgrounds to stand up and fight for change in their and greater communities
