10 Reasons to Join the Brown Berets
1. To defend our families: There is no question that the Chicano family is under attack. Our enemies bombard us from
all sides, some from under the cloaks of “political correctness”, modernization, free speech, and others not so discreet with
vulgarity, perversion, immorality, defamation, and murder. Our enemy’s motivations are lust, greed, and power;
notwithstanding our families are being ripped apart by adultery, gang violence, crime, teenage delinquency, divorce,
economic hardships, drug and substance abuse, and our future generations are being killed off through abortions. Our
families are our future and as the saying goes “the strength of a nation depends on the strength of its families”. We must
do everything in our power to defend our families to ensure a strong vibrant nation of Aztlan.
2. To protect our Raza: Most of you have seen the coverage of the LAPD riot in McArthur park, some of you were
probably there. This is not the first time, neither is it the last time that our Raza has been or will be attacked. Mexican
hating militias, minute men, kkk, skinheads, and other white supremacist are preparing themselves for a future race war,
and/or stand at the border waiting to shoot the Mexican “invaders” (as they call us). We are peace makers, we will seek
peace for our Raza first and foremost, but if and when our Raza is physically threatened by any entity, being foreign or
domestic, our duty is to protect them by any means necessary. Indifference and ignorance is what caused millions of Jews to
let themselves be massacred by the Nazi machine; we will not let that happen to us.
3. To Educate our Raza: Plainly put, a lot of our youth are growing up to be ignorant of their culture, heritage, identity,
and inheritance. . Furthermore with the current high school dropout rate, and the failure of the educational system to
properly educate our children it is leaving them with a MTV and Girls Next Door education; therefore we must take it upon
ourselves to educate our Raza and bring our people out of the darkness of ignorance.
4. To Unite our Raza: While unity with other races and nations is good and at some point in the future it should be
attempted our main concern is unity of our Raza first and foremost. Before we can even attempt to help out anybody we
need to help ourselves. This is why we say, “Mi Raza Primero”, not “Mi Raza tambien” or “Mi Raza Algun Dia”. Our fight is
not in other parts of the world with international issues while our Raza are killing each other in the streets. We seek to end
the gang violence and unite all of our people under one banner.
5. To Serve: It has been said that if one desires to be great he/she must be the servant of all. Truly leaders lead by
example and it is through this exampleship that as Brown Berets we involve ourselves in our communities and serve our
Raza in a variety of ways. Besides performing security in marches, rallies, and protests, our members volunteer their time
and skills to feed the poor, pass out free clothing to the homeless, teaching classes, clean the community, remove tagging,
etc. We do not shy away from getting our hands dirty and we don’t merely talk about doing something, we do it.
6. To gain Discipline and build self esteem: Every Brown Beret is trained through the physical fitness and self-defense
training program. This serves us to build confidence, self-discipline, respect for one-self and for others. Through the
educational training program every member learns to take pride in their culture and heritage. No one should ever feel that
they are worthless and “stupid” and in the Brown Berets they never will.
7. To represent our Raza: We as Chicanos must show all the nations that we are a people with a great and noble history
and a promising future. We are brown and proud and will show with everything we do and say that that pride is not just
words tattooed on our backs but lived out in our everyday lives.
8. To gain life skills: It is not about making a good looking resume, our objective is to get our members trained as
leaders that will serve them in every circumstance in life. Also with the training and experience they receive in the
different duties available they will be able to use them in other areas of their personal life.
9. To become a part of something great: When a person joins the Brown Berets they join into a legacy of 40 years of
sacrifice. We are honored by our Raza, and feared by our enemies for it is well known that we have served willingly to
build our communities and have fought and bled to defend them.
10. To build our nation: Aztlan is not only our homeland but it is our nation. We are a nation within a nation, the
Chicano Nation that will one day rise and claim it’s rightful place. Aztlan is our inheritance, our “promise land”; it is our
home. Through the unity of our people we build power and through the education of our people we learn to control that
power. With this controlled power we march forward laying the groundwork for our nation, for our people, for our future.

*Note: Not everyone who claims to be a Brown Beret is a Brown Beret. In the past years many fake organizations claiming to be Brown
Berets have risen up with skewed views and destructive, racist, and abusive practices. We have received emails and reports by
concerned activists who encounter these fake groups and people. A real Brown Beret is known by the love they have for their people and
that is shown in what they say and do. To see what real Brown Berets are about check out our Community Group page on Facebook.
