Guiding Principles of Unity
Always PACED, like the beat of a drum and the spirit of our hearts.
(Political action, Autonomy, Community, Education (Re-education), Decolonization)

1. Political action-
we must challenge the political, educational, and justice system by being involved in our communities, be it schools or barrios, and by being/taking direct political action.

2. Autonomy-
our goal is and has been a struggle for self-determination, in being unique and autonomous within Aztlan, to give respect and be respected, and never be subjected.

3. Community-
our community is our future, therefore we must learn to organize and network in cross generational aspects to build a vision of equality and maintain a prosperous cultura.

4. Education (Re-education)-
the process of revolution of the mind is one of liberation, therefore we must be holistic, ecologically orientated, determined to persevere and enduring in life long learning.

5. De-colonization-
the end result is of our own self-realization, of having a consciousness and progressing in revolution (change), to improve our conditions, for future generations to come.
