In 1848 Mexico lost half of it’s territory after the US invaded and annexed what is now the US southwest. The Comite de Defensa Popular (C.D.P.) is a revolutionary mass organization in Chihuahua that participated in the 1981 El Paso/Juarez conference on the reunification of Mexico. This event in celebration of Cinco de Mayo was part of a national tour to promote dialogue between the common bonds of the Chicano and Mexicano Movements for socialism and reunification.
