"If you believe that change is impossible, you guarantee that change is impossible." --Noam Chomsky Welcome everyone to the blog of all community-based blogs. Here we will waste no time arguing over things that make no difference in our efforts to rebuild our society. For as participants in a much needed movement for social justice, our primary goal should always be to move forward, refusing to find contentment in remaining where colonialism, slavery, exploitation, repression and war have left us. Here we will, thus, focus less on what we are against and more on what we are for, in hopes of achieving for ourselves a concrete vision of where we want to be and what we want to become. Thank you for your time and willingness to practice the art of resistance. Please invite others to join this blog; everyone's input and contribution is needed. Yours for the cause of justice, Mario Rocha Facebook me!

Hey Mario i know it was hard being in jail knowing you were innocent for what you were accused of and not being able to see your family but you got the chance to get out of jail and change your life so now enjoy your freedom and keep writing because your poetry is super nice:)

Hey Mario I watched your documentary with my 6th period class and let me just say that it's realy inspiring! For you to stay determined and hopefull for all these years is just amazing. I really respect you and I just can't believe that you still managed to keep a smile on your face. I admire you and I wish you the best because you truly deserve it. Just stay strong and never give up, your doing such a great job with that! Freedom is worth fighting for and you know it!

Hey Mario i saw your movie and damn i dont know it just got me interested in your case i was so surprised thats they accussed you like that i was pretty pissed not trying to be fucked up or nothing but pretty much many cops are stupid they should really get REAL evidence before accussing someone because they took alot of your freedom for somethiing you didnt do they would of atleast said sorry or gave you a little cash so you can do everything you want and be what you want to be well i only got 5 minutes in class to type this but yeah take care foo and dont let the cops blame you for anything else alrigth bye this is all for now!

I watched your story on a Netflix documentary today. Man what a couragous story. How did you do all that time without totally coming apart. You are an unbelievable young man and I can say that I really admire you. I would have felt the same "I didn't do it so there is no way that I could go to prison for something I didn't do". You take care and please know that you have a fan. ED
