GRINGO TAX  SOLIDARITY FUND MANIFESTO

We are a group of volunteers including Mexicans, gringos, and Chicanxs taking a stand against the violence of gentrification and displacement. As a collective, we see liberation as a mutual process*.

We seek to inform ourselves and to engage in a cultural shift that dismantles supremacy and disrupts power structures benefiting from oppression, marginalization, exploitation, injustice, violence, dehumanization, obscene inequality, and human misery.

We work to co-create a future full of new regenerative systems while supporting more just and equitable communities today.

We use solidarity as an instrument of liberation alongside dialogue, cooperation, and political organizing to confront inequality, displacement, racism, xenophobia, classism, and colonization across Mexico City.

We believe that meeting immediate needs now will help support the critical and ongoing work around displacement and enable us to collectively engage bigger systems interventions in the future. 

We know individual actions are not sufficient, AND each of us can make a difference. We strive to be good and principled ancestors for future generations.

Together, we commit to critical reflection, and collective action through praxis and principled action as well as consistent, meaningful, and lasting solidarity.

We invite you to join us.
