DESCRIPTION:From November 5-11, activists on both sides of the U.S.-México border will 
 be camping out to protest the arbitrary barriers erected to keep immigrants 
 from entering Fortress USA.  The protest is part of a recent groundswell in 
 immigrant communities and among their supporters who oppose the racism of 
 the border and calls attention to the destructiveness of the militarized 
 wall separating the U.S. and México.\n\nThe number of deaths along the 
 U.S.-Mexico border continues to rise as immigrants face an increasingly 
 militarized border.  And yet even as more legal and physical barriers are 
 erected to keep out immigrants, trade agreements like NAFTA and CAFTA have 
 eliminated nearly all barriers for large corporations to move into México 
 and Central America.  Mexicans and Central Americans, driven from their 
 rural communities by unemployment in the wake of these agreements now find 
 themselves having to risk life and limb merely to have access to a job.  
 \n\nThe border, however, is not merely a wall.  It is also a system of 
 policies and institutions that reinforce human separation. The Immigration 
 and Customs Enforcement (ICE)  through their Social Security no-match 
 letters is but one of the most recent efforts to terrorize and intimidate 
 undocumented immigrants \n\nGlobalize This! (www.globalizethissf.org) is 
 calling upon all people of conscience in the San Francisco Bay Area to 
 march against a resurgent neo-nativism and to stand in solidarity with 
 undocumented immigrants by denouncing ICE's no-match letters.  \n\nOn 
 Friday 11/9 starting with a rally at 4:00 pm, we will be marching from the 
 Montgomery BART Station to the Homeland Security building where the SF ICE 
 offices are housed.\n\nThe U.S. federal government cannot on the one hand 
 generate more economic refugees through free trade agreements and on the 
 other hand erect more physical barriers around those same people.  \n\nJoin 
 us at the Montgomery Bart Station this Friday at 4pm and demand just, 
 non-racist immigration policies.  For more information, contact brendanb
