[Gallery] Vigil and commemoration: Not one more refugee death – McAllen, Texas

Posted on by Mateo de Rotaeo

This was an vigil I attended two years ago. The monitor labeled it as a protest, wrong!!! Just like our vigil this past Saturday, this time we had aggressive opposition to our vigil in the form of angry bikers.

Dani Marrero Hi

The Human Rights Coalition of South Texas organized a vigil to commemorate refugees and immigrants who have lost their lives on their journey to the United States. The event took place across the street of the U.S. Homeland Security and Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas on the morning of Saturday, July 19, 2014.

Organizations from around the state gathered for an interfaith ceremony to welcome the refugees and children fleeing violence in their home countries into the U.S. An estimated 500 people participated in support of this event.

First and foremost, it is important to identify and accept that someone we know is a negative person. This can be difficult, especially when the person is someone we care about.

I was in such a hurry this morning I forgot to blog! I’m here at Sam’s doing it now.

Day Twenty-Four: Moment of Action

Posted on by Mateo de Rotaeo

I picked up an interesting concept yesterday at the Stonwall Commemoration and Pride March yesterday.  Sonny Palacios was talking about how we gave a moment of silence for the 49 lives that were lost in Orlando.  It is now time to begin a moment of Action.  I have always lived by the moto that actions speak louder than words.

My day was full of Action! Started off at Gold’s Gym, watching the Badge Battle 3. Saw some increadably fit atheletes. 2016-06-25 10.52.02

Posted on by Mateo de Rotaeo

I had Brussel sprouts yesterday for the first time.  I liked them, I liked them a lot!  I googled how to cook them and I was amazed at all the recipes that I found!

I also met up with my friends at the Tilted Kilt to watch the soccer game last night.  Not only do they have the coldest beer on tap, the water is cold too!!! Hooray for Water!
