There are no paved roads, no cars. If you need to get somewhere, you walk or ride horseback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">They are of people who toil the land, harvesting crops on \u201cranchos\u201d as a means to survive, selling what they have left for little pay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThe majority of us there didn\u2019t have cable, radio, television, bicycles,\u201d said G\u00f3ngora\u2019s cousin Luis Poot, who came to San Francisco in 1989\u2014the first of his family to make it to the United States. \u201cIt was hard leaving my family. That is the most difficult thing that I have ever done. To have your wife crying with your kids, and seeing your father live in poverty and asking if you can help him, and having to tell him I can\u2019t because I\u2019m leaving. It\u2019s really difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">In their native Yucat\u00e1n, these Mayans are outsiders in their own ancestral land. They\u2019re raised speaking their ancient mother tongue, only to be forced to learn Spanish once they begin school. Those who make the journey north with hopes of prosperity do so knowing they\u2019ll face the challenge of learning yet another language.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Luis and Carlos, who were privileged to learn Spanish in school as children, can speak and understand some English today. Their cousin Jose G\u00f3ngora, and his late brother Luis, weren\u2019t as fortunate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cWe can say that Luis [G\u00f3ngora Pat] grew up even poorer than us,\u201d Carlos said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33483\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33483\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Luis-Gongora-Anniversary_03web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-33483\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Luis-Gongora-Anniversary_03web.jpg?resize=500%2C624&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Luis-Gongora-Anniversary_03web.jpg?w=629&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 629w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Luis-Gongora-Anniversary_03web.jpg?resize=600%2C749&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Luis-Gongora-Anniversary_03web.jpg?resize=200%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Luis-Gongora-Anniversary_03web.jpg?resize=385%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33483\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Luis G\u00f3ngora Pat holds his daughter Rossana on the day of her baptism in Teabo, Yucat\u00e1n, M\u00e9xico. Courtesy: Justice4luis.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">Not knowing how to read or write and speaking limited Spanish, G\u00f3ngora Pat followed his cousins and brothers to San Francisco in 2003-2004, leaving behind three children, his wife and his parents. He worked at Mel\u2019s Diner on Mission Street as a dishwasher alongside many Mayan Yucatecs for nearly a decade, routinely sending money back home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">He lost his job, however, due to communication issues with new staff at Mel\u2019s. Then he lost his apartment at 1751 Market St., which he had shared with his brother Jose and another roommate, shortly afterwards. According to G\u00f3ngora Pat\u2019s family, his roommate left, and though he continued to pay rent, he didn\u2019t have proof of payment, which led to his eviction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The G\u00f3ngora brothers found themselves on the street.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cThere are many people on the street who aren\u2019t bad people,\u201d said Luis Poot. \u201cI wanted to help both [Luis and Jose], but I didn\u2019t have room &#8230; in my house. If I had room, Luis would still be alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cTo think about what happened, it\u2019s infuriating,\u201d he added. \u201cThe police aren\u2019t here to kill us, they\u2019re supposed to help us. They\u2019re here to protect lives, not take them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">There were 11 fatal officer-involved shootings in San Francisco between 2014 and 2016, and District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n has only issued a ruling on one: that of Alex Nieto, where he declined to charge the officers involved, citing their actions as lawful.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Since the death of Nieto, the Nieto family have been outspoken in demanding accountability from the SFPD, while still offering moral support for families and friends of those who been killed by police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cIt\u2019s nice to be able to talk to people who have gone through this,\u201d said Luis Poot, of the Nietos. \u201cAnd to have that warmth from a family who has experienced this, it really helps you understand what you\u2019re going through. You tend to forget how this is affecting you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">On Friday, the anniversary of G\u00f3ngora\u2019s death, his family and friends will gather at the spot on Shotwell Street where he was killed for a spiritual ceremony followed by a march to City Hall in remembrance of those killed by the San Francisco Police Department. The march also aims to pressure the District Attorney to charge the officers involved in G\u00f3ngora\u2019s death as well as the officers involved in other fatal shootings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">All three, Luis and Carlos Poot and Jose G\u00f3ngora, will march for Luis on Friday. They hope for justice, something that has remained painfully elusive for family of those killed by police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><em>For more information on Luis G\u00f3ngora Pat, please click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youcaring.com\/familyofluisgongorapat-782149\">here<\/a>:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[su_carousel source=&#8221;media: 33478,33479,33480,33481,33482&#8243; limit=&#8221;60&#8243; link=&#8221;lightbox&#8221; width=&#8221;800&#8243; height=&#8221;540&#8243; responsive=&#8221;no&#8221; items=&#8221;1&#8243;] As the one year anniversary of Luis G\u00f3ngora Pat\u2019s death approached, El Tecolote reached out to G\u00f3ngora Pat\u2019s cousins\u2014Luis and Carlos Poot\u2014and his younger brother Jose in hopes of learning more about the 45-year-old Yucatec Mayan man who was killed by SFPD officers on April 7, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":33478,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3929],"tags":[4661,13235,6161,13237,10681,11115,10687,3593,10691],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-33477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-alex-nieto-en","tag-carlos-poot","tag-george-gascon-en","tag-jose-gongora","tag-luis-gongora-pat","tag-luis-poot","tag-mayan","tag-sfpd-en","tag-yucatan-en","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
