1 M.E.Ch.A. de Georgetown Constitution Mission Statement Founded in spring of 1993, M.E.Ch.A. de Georgetown is a political organization with the purpose of increasing and maintaining U.S. Latino/a recruitment, retention, graduation, community involvement, and awareness. In order to achieve this mission, M.E.Ch.A. relies on the ideological practices of Chicanismo, which emphasizes the development of a political consciousness through education for the development of U.S. Latino/a communities. Its purpose is to aid Chicanxs in adjusting as students to Georgetown University, by acting as a political, social and support organization respondent to student needs. The name of the organization is the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Aztlán, which is abbreviated as M.E.Ch.A. Movimiento - recognizes that we (as part of the Georgetown Community) are part of a larger cause and do not limit ourselves to a simple campus organization. Estudiantil - acknowledges your role as students first, who are responsible in being the voice of your community. Chicanx - denotes anyone who lives in and celebrates his/her/their dual culture. It transcends further than an identity; it s a philosophy. Chicanx is inclusive of any person of any ethnicity or race. Although M.E.Ch.A. caters to the Latinx community, M.E.Ch.A. is open to anyone willing to liberate and empower the oppressed. De Aztlán recognizes the ancestral roots of our indigenous culture. It proudly claims our indigenous past as the root of our own history and culture. It marks our becoming conscious of our own history and identity as a people. The organization is also part of a higher forum, East Coast Chicanx Student Forum, which serves to unite all Chicanx organizations on the East Coast and offers support and a safe familiar environment that allows for educational development and maturation within society. National Preamble Chicanx students of Aztlán must take upon themselves the responsibilities to promote Chicanismo within the community, politicizing our Raza with an emphasis on indigenous consciousness to continue the struggle for the self-determination of the Chicanx people for the purpose of liberating Aztlán. Article I: Name and Purpose Section 1. Name
2 A. The name of this organization shall be the National Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx de Aztlán (MEChA). B. The official symbol of this organization shall be the eagle with its wings spread, bearing a macahuittle in one claw and a dynamite stick in the other with the lighted fuse in its beak. The acronym MEChA shall be above the symbol with the phrase "La Union Hace La Fuerza" below. Section 2. MEChA Historical Context: A. In April 1969, MEChA was founded at UC Santa Barbara one month after the first National Chicanx Youth Liberation Conference in Denver, Colorado. MEChA was founded to unite Chicanx student organizations (MAYA, UMAS, MASC, etc.) and advocate for the implementation of a Chicanx Studies program in higher education. B. MEChA s definition of Chicanismo the self-determination of our community is now the only acceptable mandate for social and political action; it is the essence of Chicanx commitment. Culturally, the word Chicanx, in the past a pejorative and class-bound adjective, has now become the root idea of a new cultural identity for our people. It also reveals a growing solidarity and the development of a common social praxis. The widespread use of the term Chicanx today signals a rebirth of pride and confidence. Chicanismo simply embodies and ancient truth: that a person is never closer to her/his/their true self as when he/she is close to her/his/their community. Chicanismo draws its faith and strength from two main sources: from the just struggle of our people and from an objective analysis of our community's strategic needs. We recognize that without a strategic use of education, an education that places value on what we value, we will not realize our destiny. Chicanxs recognize the central importance of institutions of higher learning to modern progress, in this case, to the development of our community. But we go further: we believe that higher education must contribute to the information of a complete person who truly values life and freedom We pledge our efforts and take as our credo what Jose Vasconcelos once said at a time of crisis and hope: At this moment we do not come to work for the university, but to demand that the university work for our people.
