The Movimiento de Liberacion Nacional (MLN) was founded in 1977 as a coalition of anti-imperialist Puerto Rican and Chicano-Mexicano activists in the United States. This document by the MLN outlines the group’s stance against U.S. imperialism and its support for Puerto Rican independence and the socialist reunification of Mexico. It details the MLN’s historical context, including resistance to U.S. expansion and colonization. The document emphasizes the principle of non-collaboration with the U.S. government, particularly in the face of grand jury investigations targeting independence movements. Furthermore, the text promotes solidarity with armed clandestine movements and calls for the dismantling of U.S. imperial power.
