ON THIS DAY IN 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed between the United States & Mexico. Read more to learn about California's history and Mexico's enduring impact in our state.

A graphic that reads: "Long Beach Latino Democratic Club - ¡Para la gente! On February 2nd, 1848, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed. The treaty formally ended the Mexican-American War and established the Texas southern border at the Rio Grande. It remains the third largest territorial acquisition in US history." A graphic that reads: "California's rich and complex history includes a pivotal chapter under Mexican governance from 1821 to 1848. During these 27 years, Alta California was shaped by Mexican law, culture and land stewardship. Though the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo marked the end of Mexican sovereignty in California, the legacy of this period remains deeply woven into the cultural and historic fabric of our communities." A graphic that reads: "Did you know? The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was negotiated in direct defiance to President James K. Polk, who was furious that - even after capturing Mexico City and forcing General Santa Anna from power - Mexico refused to sign the treaty. Diplomat Nicholas Trist defied Polk's command to extract even more territory from the Mexican Government, delivering the originally negotiated treaty." A graphic that reads: "178 years later, half of all children in California belong to a Latina mother. 178 years later, Latinos make up nearly 44% of Long Beach residents. Today and every day, we honor the contributions and sacrifices of our ancestors, and celebrate the persistence of communities crossed by borders."

From Los Angeles to Minneapolis, the pattern is clear: when communities rise to protect each other, ICE answers with violence. Last week in Northridge, Keith Porter was killed by an off-duty ICE agent. Days later, Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis lost her life. 🕯️

Our statement on the recent US military action in Venezuela.

#LongBeachCA #Democrats #DemocraticParty #SouthernCalifornia #SoCal #venezuela
Long Beach Latino Democratic Club Official Statement The Long Beach Latino Democratic Club strongly condemns the bombings in Caracas and the arrest and indictment of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cillia Flores de Maduro, by the United States Military. Conducted without notification or approval from Congress, these actions violate the U.S. Constitution, breach international law undermine national sovereignty, and erode the democratic principles our nation is obligated to uphold. There are legitimate, diplomatic, humanitarian and multilateral avenues to support democratic transition; this reckless intervention is not one of them. For more than 70 years, US military actions in Latin America have failed to produce freer societies or improved living conditions, instead fueling dictatorships, repression and loss of life. While Maduro was a tyrant, the absence of any plan beyond his extraction risks prolonged instability, internal conflict, and deep harm to U.S. credibility. The Trump Administration has escalated armed aggression against Venezuela for weeks under the guise of combating drug trafficking, continuing attacks even after civilian casualties were confirmed, culminating in this past Saturday's unilateral takeover. We stand in solidarity with the nations across the Global South - including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Bolivia, Honduras and South Africa - that reaffirm sovereignty, peaceful dialogue, and non-intervention. Their stance reflects a global consensus that no country, and no president, is above the law. The Long Beach Latino Democratic Club remains committed to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law at home and abroad. We reject any action the prioritizes political agendas over international norms or the safety and self-determination of the Venezuelan people.
