In twenty-one years of collective love and struggle, the poor, unhoused, disabled, Black, Brown, Indigenous, elder and youth leaders, artists, and cultural workers of POOR Magazine/Prensa POBRE, PoorNewsNetwork (PNN)/Homefulness have never called the Po'Lice.We face our demons ALL THE TIME, because we all come out of colonial trauma experiences of racism, white supremacy, ableism, family violence, false borders, eviction, houselessness, criminalization, elder/child abuse, sexual violence, rape, incarceration, Po'Lice violence, genderism, hate crimes, and so much more. At Homefulness, we go within to solve our community's problems.Based off POOR Magazine's revolutionary workshops of the same name and collected here in writing for the first time, this handbook takes readers through the Herstory/His-STORY of Po'Lice Terror of our bodies, lives, children and elders in this stolen land, and then shares the model of the Elephant Council at Homefulness-a poor, Indigenous people/traumatized people's accountability circle, which includes a redefinition of the silently violent, western white supremacist notion of "security," and enables us to hold each other through trauma and institute a true definition of interdependent safety.Thru participatory exercises, theatre, art, prayer, and poetry, Poverty Skolaz and Elephant Co-Leaders Lisa Tiny Gray-Garcia, Leroy Moore, Muteado Silencio, Aunti Frances Moore, and many more revolutionary poets, artists, and thinkers take us all through one way to make a collective shift away from the lie of state-sponsored murder and into the realness of what we can build ourselves.

How to Not Call the Po'Lice Ever

Muteado Silencio Nacido en Lázaro Cardenas, Michoacán, Mexico - un lugar de pescadores de la gente P'urepecha. Padres: Roselia Jaramillo y Artemio Soberanis. Poeta, sabio de la pobreza, escritor, pintor, y danzante de la Chintontequisa, MItoteliztli, Danza Azteca. Nunca tuve la oportunidad de estudiar arte o tomar clases de arte en la escuelas de los Estados Unidos, pero sé que descendemos de artesanos, artistas, poetas y gran creadores, y con este libro estoy tratando de recordar lo que ya traemos en las venas por parte de nuestros grandes abuelas y abuelos. Nuestros abuelos tenían los Calmecas, Teokallis que eran escuelas con enseñanzas en diferentes estudios sobre arte, filosofía, y teoría, que la mayoría que los colonizadores destruyeron. Gracias a la Chintontequisa, MItoteliztli, Danza Azteca, esta ceremonia nos está yudando a recordar y reconectarnos con nuestras raíces. CHIMALLI significa escudo, es una arma de defensa que usaban nuestros abuelos y también símbolo de reconocimiento y usado como premio. Estos CHIMALLI representan diferentes deidades que de una manera u otra tuvieron impacto en mi vida cuando las estaba elaborando y también una oportunidad de aprender un poquito más sobre sus significados.
