COMPANERAS , COMPANEROS, FRIENDS, ALLIES:

With a truly saddened heart we inform you that the co-founder and
long-time National Spokesperson of our organization, the MOVIMIENTO DE
LIBERACION NACIONAL (MLN), COMPANERO RICARDO ROMERO passed last Friday,
April 28, 2023.

Companero Ricardo was a tireless  committed fighter for our people since
the 1960's. He was a member of the Crusade for Justice in Colorado. He
supported the striking workers at Kitayama farms in Northern Colorado. He
participated in the 1968 Poor People's March on Washington with a
delegation of our people. He helped coordinate the People's Moratorium on
Police Abuse in the late 1970's in New York City.

In 1978, he co-founded the MLN, which at that time represented the unity of
Mexican and Puerto Rican national liberation struggles. Companero Ricardo
testified several times at the United Nations on behalf of the Mexicano
struggle for national liberation and in support of the Puerto Rican
independence struggle. Ricardo was twice jailed for his non-collaboration
stance before grand juries which were investigating the Puerto Rican
independence struggle.

Companero Ricardo was instrumental in leading an armed land take-over in
Tierra Amarilla and establishing the Tierra Amarilla Youth Brigades.

Companero Ricardo built important ties with the New African liberation
struggle. Companero Ricardo traveled to Puerto Rico and the Basque lands in
order to internationalize the struggle of the Mexicano people.

In the 1970's Companero Ricardo was a member of the Partido Proletario
Unido de America, led by Florencio "GUERO" Medrano. Guero was the first
Mexicano guerrillero who recognized that Mexico was militarily divided with
an occupied Northern territory and a dependent nation in the south.

RICARDO ROMERO's memory, commitment and teachings will live on and guide us
as we continue the Mexicano people's struggle for national liberation and
socialist reunification.

A Memorial Tribute and Celebration of his life will be held on May 16 in
Denver, Colorado.
