About me:
Somos M.E.Ch.A de UC San Diego. We believe that social change and social action must be community-based and politically charged.
We meet every MONDAY @ 5:00PM in the Communidad Room in the Cross-Cultural Center.
Who I'd like to meet:
The self-determination of our community is now the only acceptable mandate for social and political action; it is the essence of Chicano/a commitment. Culturally, the word Chicano/a, in the past a pejorative and class-bound adjective, has now become the root idea of a new cultural identity for our people. It also reveals a growing solidarity and the development of a common social praxis...
Chicanismo/a draws its faith and strength from two main sources: from the just struggle of our people and from an objective analysis of our community's strategic needs. We recognize that without a strategic use of education, an education that places value on what we value, we will not realize our destiny. Chicanos/as recognize the central importance of institutions of higher learning to modern progress, in this case, to the development of our community.

• The DREAM Act would reduce the dropout rate of immigrant students.
• It would lead more immigrants to graduate from high school and college.
• Freeing thousands of young immigrants to join the legal workforce.
• These young people had no say in the decision that resulted in their coming to the U.S., and it is inefficient as well as wrong for the government to keep them from the achievements that they can earn by their own talent and hard work in the land where they were raised.

El DREAM Act or Acta Del Los Sueños ayudaria a estudiantes indocumentados obtener acceso a oportunidades muy valiosas, por ejemplo: autorizacion para trabajar, ayuda financiera federal para la universidad y escuelas técnicas, puestos de internos profesionales y la licencia para ejercer en los Estados Unidos. Esto ayudara a construir un futuro lleno de ciudadanos y lideres que pueden crear comunidades fuertes, saludables y estables.

(Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is the federal agency created

These

> Last Thursday (05/15/2008), I.C.E.
raided a bakery in Pacific Beach, and

Two human rights observers documenting the

during this raid were threatened with arrest,
> aggressively questioned, and one particularly hostile I.C.E.
agent took

These two human rights workers are UCSD

Soon after the raid in Pacific Beach,

agents reappeared at the apartment of this student on the UCSD

After finding nothing, they left the UCSD campus, apparently
