National Days
A lot of Latin culture is celebrated around National Days including national holidays, independence days, and days of historic importance. Most national days celebrate revolutions, but we should not wish for one. Revolutions cause terrible suffering for around a decade, and it takes two or three generations for nations to heal. In the States, we have the right to vote. Voting is the American Way to make change. Register to vote and check your registration at non-partisan vote.org
