On the outside the gangs are spreading their power to the community, dealing in narcotics but have even enjoyed some success in taking over Federally funded . programs. and foundations. _ Maoists have captured the interest of the gangs, who see themselves as oppressed members of the third world ready to join the revolution. The Venceremos has written the Mexican Mafia Family members urging them to stop their warring and kill "pigs". _ Formed in December, 1970, the Venceremos Organization (VO), also known as Venceremos, is a militant Marxist-Leninist-Maoist - organization composed of third world and white revolutionaries operating in the San Francisco Peninsula area. The publicly stated goal of the VO is to build a united front against the imperialist United States leading to the overthrow of the United States Government by force and violence, armed struggle, and urban guerrilla warfare. The VO has publicly stated that all members must know how to operate and service weapons and have weapons available. The California Department of Corrections has no idea of the strength of these groups in the streets. The Mexican Mafia is only oned the many prison groups that are violently demonstrating their powers, _ ~“BStir within the penal institutions and on the streets. It appears that their influence over numerous criminal areas will pose a major problem in the future to both the prison correctional officer and the on-the-street law enforcement officer.
