ALERT! Plz repost!

There have been a series of surprise ICE - (Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the largest branch of the Department of Homeland Security, created after 9/11 as a way to "fight terrorism" - by targeting illegal immigrants) - raids in the Bay Area in the last two days. At least 70+ people have been detained.



There will be an emergency rally tomorrow (Monday) at 11:00 am at City Hall, followed by a noon rally at ICE, located at 630 Sansome.



Several pieces of legislation have passed and more sit brewing at various levels of government review, to criminalize illegal immigrants and make employers unaccountable for using them and then ratting them out. It's fucked.

Check out David Bacon's May Day piece on the snowball effect this legislation is having across the country, emboldening lawmakers taking direct cues from the DHS:
http://www. sfgate. com/cgi-bin/article. cgi?f=/c/a/2008/04/30/ED2010DS0E. DTL

It's a crazy climate of fear, and it's increasingly about targetting employees, under the guise of "we don't want employers exploiting workers, so we gotta deport them." If you can't make the rally, call your supervisor, call the mayor, call your media outlets.

RAMPING UP EFFORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY:
On April 17, 311 immigrants were taken into custody at Pilgrim’s Pride poultry plants in five states: Mount Pleasant, Texas; Live Oak, Fla.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Batesville, Ark.; Moorefield, W. Virg. The Pilgrim's Pride raids were the largest of 11 worksite raids conducted by ICE agents that day.



The raids on worksites, along with the growing number of "fugitive operations teams" that pursue individuals with removal orders and a program that increases local police cooperation in immigration enforcement, are "creating an incredible climate of fear," says Andrea Black, network coordinator of Detention Watch Network, a national coaliti

AMERICA AMERICA “WE THE PEOPLE”

LAND OF THE FREE HOME OF THE BRAVE
OUR COUNTRY “WE” MUST SAVE
IRAQ…..A WAR OF CHOICE WHERE IS OUR VOICE
SHOCK & AWE A WORLD EVENT
REMEMBER “WE” WENT ON LENT
INNOCENT BLOOD SPENT
HAVE “WE” SEEN THE FEMA WRATH
LET US TOGETHER DO THE MATH
OUR REPUTATION & WEALTH DESTROYED
IMPEACHMENT………….VOID
OUR DOLLAR IS DOWN
OUR INTELECTUAL PROPERTIES SOLD AROUND
OUR JOBS FREE TRADED AWAY
OUR PENSIONS STOLEN ONE DAY
NOW FREE MARKETS TAKE OUR HOMES TODAY
HEALTH CARE & EDUCATION STANDARDS A DISGRACE
OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM BY CLASS & RACE
OUR PORTS & BORDERS NOT SECURED TODAY
ALL THOSE TRILLIONS BUSH JR. THREW AWAY
“TERROR” HE DOES SAY
NOW WE THE PEOPLE STILL HAVE A SAY
NETWORK THIS TRUE IMAGE…THAT’S THE WAY
IF “WE” WANT TO STAY FREE
BE PATRIOTIC ONLY TO “WE”

POWER TO THE PEACEFUL

We've now had 5 years of lies about 9/11, WMD's, and freedom. The real reasons were oil, profiteering, and fascism. Not just Bush, but the news media, most of congress, and all who remain silent. And now they'll use fear to quash dissent. It's nothing new -- it's been going on for ages. War, poverty, ecocide, arrogant bullying --they're all from greed and fear, which come from ignorance. ♥ But it's not too late -- we can still learn to make peace. Talk with people. Love, Eric
