Saludos desde Resistencia Bookstore, Casa de Red Salmon Arts,<br><br>
<br><br>
It is with great sadness we inform all of our community supporters,<br>
comrades, familia and colegas about the passing of our elder,
teacher,<br>
father, chicanindio, and poeta revolutionario raul salinas.<br><br>
<br><br>
As you may know, for the past couple of years, raul has been struggling
with<br>
his health. We understand that it's difficult for us to let him go,
but<br>
since the beginning of the year his health continued to be a major<br>
challenge. Unfortunately, his body just could not take the strain
and was<br>
deteriorating at a rapid pace. Even though he has left this realm and
it's a<br>
great loss para nuestro pueblo, his spirit is strong and lives on in all
of<br>
us.<br><br>
<br><br>
As his family provides more information, we will share it with everyone.
For<br>
now this is just a notification of the passing of our brother. We
will<br>
notify you about where you can send condolences, flowers, and cards as
we<br>
get more information. An altar has been created in front of the
bookstore<br>
on South First St. in Austin, Texas for now. We thank everyone for
their<br>
good energy and support and prayers in this time of loss and
mourning.<br><br>
<br><br>
CON RESPECTO Y EN LUCHA,<br><br>
