Ricardo Falcón was a promising leader who organized students and community members during the Chicano/a movement. He was a popular activist in Colorado committed to social justice. In August of 1972, he was murdered in Orogrande, New Mexico while traveling to La Raza Unida Convention held in Texas. He was shot and killed by a right-wing vigilante named Perry Brunson. We are unable to march due to construction but will meet at the cemetary for the memorial. Afterwards we will meet at Railroad park for a BBQ, all are welcome to attend.
