The Racist War on Immigrants: Jim Crow Goes Fishing Speaking in Cleveland, President Bush called on Congress to end "catch and release" practices on the border with Mexico. He wasn't referring to recreational fishing enthusiasts who catch large mouth bass, snap a picture and then release them back into the water. He was talking about INS (now Homeland Security) agents who round up undocumented workers trying to cross the border, harass and threaten them, and then issue them summons to appear in American court. President Bush and Cong...

Hunger Strike begins to oppose HR4437 (video/x-pn-realvideo 16.7MB) An opening rally and march kicked off this next week of actions against federal proposals that target immigrants. The legistation HR4437, proposed by Senator Specter and Representative Sensenbrenner, will destablize working class people and communities of color by criminalizing undocumented immigrants as felons, and threatening to charge their families and other supporters with charges of "aiding and abetting a felon." If passed, this legislation will impact more than 12 million ind...

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...
