Sentinel has no online coverage of Friday's March for Immigrant Rights in Santa Cruz 
I am not not publishing this to surprise people. The Santa Cruz Sentinel has a long history of racism in Santa Cruz. The purpose of this post is to point out once again that the Sentinel works against any sense of social justice.
The Sentinel has no online coverage of last Friday's (3-17-06) march and rally for immigrant rights in Santa Cruz.

Speakers from Santa Cruz Rally Against HR 4437 (audio/mpeg 2.7MB) About 500 people rallied at the Santa Cruz County Building, before a march to Beach Flats Park, to express outrage against HR 4437; one of many anti-immigrant bills making its way through Congress. HR 4437 would make it a felony offense to be in the U.S. without proper documentation. This would push undocumented immigrants further underground, and increase the potential for exploitation by employers. This bill would also criminalize nurses, teachers, clergy, social workers, and anyone else wh...
