My main goal in doing this blog is to get the word out about what's going on around immigration (particularly in maricopa county, az) and expose anti-immigrant sentiment for what it truly is. By doing this, i hope that more people will get involved to undermine the efforts at keeping people divided, powerless, stripped of their dignity, and worse.

I especially want to get more white people (non-white citizens also have the power to take this on) in the fight for immigrants' rights, because we're in the position to respond to those who are trying to preserve "our culture" by not only asking "whose culture?" but also exposing them and opposing them as the racist scum that they are. We need to communicate to other people who feel threatened by this so-called "invasion" about what's really going on here. Way too many people actually think that there is some level of legitimacy to their movement. We need to delegitamize them. We can shift the focus from scapegoating immigrants to placing the blame where it should be: on capitalism and our government.

Congress Aims to Require Voter ID H.R. 4844

From ImmigrantSolidarity.org

This week (9/20 Wed and 9/21 Thurs), the House of Representatives is poised to consider the "Voter ID bill" H.R. 4844, the Federal Election Integrity Act of 2006.

The VOTER ID bill aims to decrease the number of citizens able to vote by requiring all citizens to show proof of citizenship in order to vote. Millions of Americans, who do not have the identification and proof of citizenship that the bill requires -- the elderly, the disabled, Native Americans and other minorities- will be profoundly impacted by this legislation. H.R. 4844 will do far more to suppress turnout and intimidate voters than to prevent voter fraud, as the proponents of the Voter ID bill claim. Millions of Americans will be denied their right to vote because the House Republicans are rushing this bill to floor to address a problem that does not really exist.

“Camp Inski”, the preparation and information camp for the forthcoming G8 summit in Germany, took place from August 4th-14th in North West Germany. Somewhat less than one year before the G8-summit, autonomously organized resistance meets and plots for several days(en) in close proximity to the future summit location in the nearby town of Heiligendamm. Numbers are difficult to guess – several reports speak of more than 500 while others say many more came during the week. The workshops ranged from meetings about mobilisation, blockades and bike caravans to general questions of resistance and social movements.

While discussing and organizing next year's protest, various actions took place showing the wide range of activities started by the camp, including going from door to door in nearby villages and towns to inform residents of the future protests. A villa was occupied in opposition to the commercialisation of the increasingly posh seaside resort. An anti-racist demonstration (Video: 1 | 2 ) was held in the nearby city of Rostock. On friday hundreds of activists gathered at the beach outside summit venue(en), on saturday protest closed down an exhibition of the nazi artist Arno Breker while activists protested at a GMO field nearby the camp.

A Success and Milestone for the Immigrant Rights Movement!

Yesterday We Marched Today We Organized
Tomorrow We'll Achieve Our Dreams and Goals!

The 3-day (July 28-30, 2006) Washington DC National Grassroots Immigrant Strategy Conference at American University has been without doubt a success and a milestone for the immigrant rights movement. Organized by National Immigrant Solidarity Network, one of the leading coalitions involved in the March 25 Los Angeles "Gran Marcha" and the May 1st "A Day Without Immigrants" General Strike/Boycott, there were approximately 180 people from over 80 organizations across the country in attendance.

7/21 - Last Saturday, immigrants facing deportation and their loved ones reached 2,000 New Yorkers on the streets of Flatbush. This Saturday, they aim to reach 3,000 more in the Bronx and conduct a survey with local residents that will go towards a public opinion report.
