Love More! Today, we join our Mexican brothers and sisters and communities worldwide in celebrating Cinco de Mayo, a powerful reminder of shared humanity, unity, and cultural pride. What is Cinco de Mayo? Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day. It commemorates the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, when a small, under-resourced Mexican army triumphed over powerful French forces. This victory became a symbol of resistance and national determination against colonial oppression. At The Love More Movement, we celebrate this day not just for its historical significance, but for what it represents: The courage to rise against the odds. The beauty of cultural pride and heritage. The joy of community celebration and togetherness. So today, we honor the spirit of Puebla by choosing love over fear, unity over division, and celebration over silence. Let’s uplift Mexican culture, music, food, and the strength of communities who continue to fight for justice and joy across generations. ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
