Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? 
Proving nature's law is wrong 
it learned 2 walk without having feet. 
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, 
it learned 2 breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else even cared!
-Tupac Amaru Shakur

Join us for the weekend of the winter solstice as we pay respect to our elders, the four elements, and life in all its forms. This event is a continuation of Operation Red Rose, in which we work to decolonize our hood through art and resistance. The city took down the last mural we painted with the youth, our response? create more art!!! 

There is no set program, we work with an open format, so feel free to contribute any of your gifted talents. We will try to incorporate some readings from the Zapatistas and a speech Ricardo Flores Magon made while in El Monte. There will be items open for a trueque (trade), a jumper for the kids, a know your rights workshops and a community potluck with handmade tortillas on a fire stove!

Everything is done con amor del pueblo, no need for grants or permits. These are our streets!

We will be featuring:

Arte con Alma 

Danza Mexica Cuauhtemoc, 

the Klingerman B-Boy youth group, the Lil Rascals



A minimal Garage/Punk/Rock Band by the Name of "4340" out of the S.G.V. from El Monte, Ca.
