Founded by Semillas del Pueblo in 2008, Anahuacalmecac is the only successful Indigenous charter high school in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is on the verge of closing Anahuacalmecac due to a “Papers Please” policy against Mexican Indigenous charter school petitioners and parents. Let LAUSD Superintendent and Board Members know our community demands the renewal of the charter of Anahuacalmecac through 2018 and a stop to the violation of civil and Indigenous Peoples' rights to education based upon maternal langauge, community autonomy, autocthonous culture and access to all levels of education.
