Patricia Marin 1952-1995:
Una Mujer Verdaderamente RevolucionariaEditor's Note - On the evening of December 18, 1995, Patricia Marin passed away in her sleep. Patricia was a leading member of Unión del Barrio, the National Chicano Moratorium Committee, the Chicano Mexicano Prison Project, Unión del Barrio Women's Commission, the Raza Rights Coalition, and participated in many other ways in the struggle for Mexicano Liberation. The following is a brief synopsis of her life and what she meant to Unión del Barrio and our gente's struggle for freedom. We proudly dedicate this issue of ¡LA VERDAD! in her honor.From the Oct - Dec 1995 issue of ¡LA VERDAD! We first came into contact with Compañera Patricia Marin in 1986, while she was attending Rancho Santiago College (now Santa Ana College) in Santa Ana, Orange County, California, during which time she was working with the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán. Patricia served as M.E.Ch.A. advisor during the years 1988 and 1989 - and it was during this period that she began to work more closely with Unión del Barrio. In 1990 the Orange County Moratorium Committee was formed in which Patricia served as the National Chicano Moratorium Committee Representative. It was from that point in time - a period of reconstruction of a national Chicano Mexicano Movement - that Patricia Marin integrated herself into our peoples liberation movement with a level of dedication and sacrifice that few will be able to match.
