Ode to the No Crisis of Moral Conviction

By Jorge “Coqui” H. Rodriguez                                       

____________________________

There is an ode to wonder about 

What is The No Crisis of Moral Conviction Stance?

 

Is the ode to the No Crisis of Moral Conviction really a must stand up for Justice Thought 

 

The Ode to Moral Convection, is The Bill which is due 

the one we send is for Justice 

 

Our ode to No Crisis of Moral Conviction, 

Is it really The Receipt which drives our action!

 

Ode to The action on the streets across California, in LA City Hall Chambers,  LA County Board Room,

California State Assembly & State Senate Chambers

 

Ode to the Moral Conviction for justice is the action we participate in can be as simple as talking to someone on our street, making a phone call, sending an email, posting on Facebook, tweeter, Instagram,

Tiktok, Reels etc.

 

Ode is to the action of protesting against the elected officials who are silent. Which is their complicity!

 

Ode to Moral Conviction is The bill is due for YOU! California! Los Angeles!

 

Ode to  the City of Los Angeles one of the first sanitary cities in America!!

 

But the Dodgers, Lakers Owners, Mark Walker’s Corporation the Guggenheim are investors in GEO and Core Civic the two main companies who

are building the concentration camps across America

 

The Bill is due Mayor Bass and members of LA City Council

 

The Bill is due Women Members of the LA County Board of Supervisors!

 

The Bill is due Robert Rivas California Speaker of  the Assembly!

 

The Bill is due Monique Limon Senate President Pro Tempore!

 

The action is for you to stand up with immigrants In complete action. 

 

Just like we did in the divestment Campaign against APARTHEID IN SOUTH AFRICA

 

The bill for the Afrikaner Apartheid government who use to put South African working families, children in chicken coup cages and make the people carry a passport booklet the size of small Cliff Notes Review Booklet around with them to Identify themselves or be imprisoned

 

Yes! That was in South Africa!

 

The bill we are talking about TODAY! 

 

TODAY! This is happening right here in our back yard

with the Dodgers/Lakers owners at the helm

with the jailers keys to the cages in their back pockets! 

 

The bill is here, part of the financiers of the concentration camps 

are in the GREAT SANCTUARY CITY OF LOS ANGELES!! 

 

RIGHT HERE! RIGHT HERE!  IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES

 

RIGHT HERE! RIGHT HERE!  IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY

RIGHT HERE! RIGHT HERE! IN THE GOLDEN STATE OF CALIFORNIA

IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, ONE OF THE FIRST SANCTUARY
CITIES IN AMERICA!

 

The Moral Conviction was clear pushing companies to divest out of

The SOUTH AFRIKANER APARTHEID GOVERNMENT, 

back then in the 60’s,70’s, 80’s 

 

REMEMBER?  REMEMBER  HOW  WE DID IT BACK THEN?

AND WE HELPED THE SOUTH AFRICAN PEOPLE LIFT THE BOOT

OFF THEIR NECKS A LITTLE 

 

THE RECEIPT WAS DIVESTMENT OUT OF COMPANIES
WHO DID BUSINESS WITH THE APARTEID GOVERNMENT!

 

THERE WAS NO CRISIS OF MORAL CONVICTION THEN! 

 

THERE IS NO CRISIS OF MORAL CONVICTION TODAY!
