Colectivo El Churo es, en mis palabras, un grupo de personas que trabaja para los derechos comunicación y los derechos humanos para todos pero especialmente para los jóvenes. Los políticos y la arte y la cultura son integradas al juntos y así que, ellos usan plataformas diferentes para alcanzar los mismos objetivos. Expresión de política y social se promueve a través de
1. Web radio – las programas radio en música y cultura
2. Churo Móvil – el móvil con un micrófono que es manejada en las calles para llegar las masas especialmente ellos no acceso al Internet o otros formas de tecnología
3. Eventos de arte y cultural – los conciertos y los talleres en los espacios públicos con entrada libre
4. Organización política y social – trabajo con otros las organizaciones y la gente con las mismas metas para la comunidad
Hablando con Jorge, uno de los principales detrás El Churo (pero, tener en cuenta, no ego, él fue el primero persona a destacar que hay no jerarquía), me explicó a mí: Hay dos razones para el trabajo que pasa en todo del Latina América. Primero, la memoria de la tierra. La historia del dolor y también la buena de cada país es compartido entre todos el gente. Segundo, la identidad de ser un Latin@ o Ecuadorian@. Hay mucho orgullo y amor con los pies en verdad a la tierra. Cada persona está trabajando para el bien común con el pasado y el futuro en mente.

Little does Wellesley know that this summer, I am using their money to work in a cooperative. It is a much-needed change of rhythm for me. I’ve been feeling so ambivalent and disillusioned that it feels so good to work for change in an environment without any self-righteousness or ego. The people that I most admire and aspire to be, they do what they do without any sense of superiority or pretension. There are so few selfless people in the world. The people of El Churo are doing the work they do because this is there life. As another organizer I respect from the states explained to me, this work is not a choice. Here in El Churo, I can feel the strong obligation to work for their family, social class, the people that have been underserved and ignored, their country (Ecuador) and their land (Latin America)—tod@s.
The El Churo Collective is, in my words, a group of people that work for communication rights and human rights for all but especially youth. Politics and art and culture are integrated. They may use different platforms but to reach the same objectives. Political and social forms of expressions are promoted through:
1. Web Radio – programs on art and culture
2. Churo Móvil – the automobile with a microphone that is driven in the streets in order to reach the masses especially those without access to Internet or radio
3. Arts and Culture events – concerts and workshops in public spaces for free
4. Political and social organizing – work with other organizations and people with the same goals for the community
Talking to Jorge, one of the principle people behind El Churo (but, keep in mind, no ego, he was the first person to emphasize that there is no hierarchy), he explained to me: There are two driving forces for the work that happens in all of Latin America, First, the memory of the land. The history of pain but also the good of each country is shared between all Latin Americans. Second, their Latin American or Ecuadorian identity. There is so much down-to-earth love and pride for who they are. Each person is working with the past and the future in mind.
