Reportback from the Border

Learn about what people are doing in Southern California to oppose border vigilantes like the California Minutemen and Friends of the Border Patrol.

Jen from Richmond Indymedia was in San Diego in early August to document resistance to border vigilantes and returned this month to witness the failure of the Friends of the Border Patrol at the hands of grassroots mobilizing. This presentation includes video from San Diego IMC, Jen's own video and also a short presentation on immigration.

"Calexico had many successes Saturday and early Sunday morning. According to the public and most major news sources, the human rights protestors have effectively shut down or delayed the Friends of the Border Patrol (FBP) from inaugurating their fall vigilante watch."

Jen was a guest on Free Radio Santa Cruz's Indynewswire show on September 26 to discuss the recent demonstration that took place in the California border town of Calexico. (13:45 / 6.3 MB)
