Marching Behind Banners

by: Kai

Thu May 21, 2009 at 18:28:32 PM EDT

[ Here's a short video I finally got around to cobbling together from the footage I shot at this year's May Day march in Manhattan, starting in Union Square. Nothing fancy, shaky handheld zoom and all, just a glimpse of the sights, sounds, and general vibe of that day, beginning with the heavy downpour which drenched us all but didn't prevent a strong energetic turnout, ending with the march. Mamita Mala and La Mapu make cameo appearances. Hats off to the guy selling empanadas during the march, very nice move for all parties involved. ]

1,000 Protest in Postville!: Pro-Migrant SanctuarySphere

by: symsess

Tue Jul 29, 2008 at 08:54:16 AM EDT

First I would like to give mention to a blog I discovered yesterday titled Shalom Rav which gives us the story of the recent rallies to support migrants in Postville. The post is titled Demanding Justice in Postville and includes many pictures. Please take a moment to leave a comment in support of this Rabbi's wonderful actions.  Also, watch the video Immigration March in Postville, Iowa.

1,000 March to Protest Postville Raid at Standing FIRM. Also Sherriff Joe Arpaio Honored to be called KKK, a new book Debunking the myth of the "Latino Threat" and Update: PA Teens Charged in Fatal Beating of Luis Ramirez.

Latino Politico has put together a list of over 30 blogs that have written on Jon Justice in Sites Covering Jon Justice's Sexual Escapades.

I believe we posted this before, but it never hurts to Know your rights. Watch this video on what to do if ICE shows up to your job or home at American Wetback.

NYC May Day Pro-Migrant Rally Recap - We are shaken, but not defeated

by: yave begnet

Tue May 06, 2008 at 23:57:54 PM EDT

I'm sharing my belated scattered observations from the May Day rally at Union Square in New York City last week.

This was the first May Day march I had participated in. It was a lot of fun, and emotionally and (in a strictly secular way :-) ) spiritually uplifting, but I kind of felt like I had missed the party. I heard about crowds exponentially larger in 2006 and substantially larger last year. But apparently, frustration in the pro-migrant community with the lack of progress toward comprehensive reform and fear instilled by widescale raids over the past year-and-a-half had combined to ratchet down participation in this year’s march. (With my own eyeballs, I estimated between 2,000 and 3,000 marchers—not something you see every day parading down Broadway, but certainly not the numbers seen in recent years.) It’s a shame, because things are about as bad now as they’ve ever been for migrants in the U.S. It’s a shame, because the “Operation Return to Sender” raids that have terrorized migrant communities across the country were a direct response to the restrictionist backlash resulting from the remarkable pro-migrant rallies of early 2006. DHS Secretary Chertoff has explained that the raids are a tool to push businesses and migrant groups towards a comprehensive solution. It’s also part of the “enforcement by attrition” policy promoted by restrictionists and adopted in recent years by the Bush administration.  If Bush is a pro-migrant president, he sure has a funny way of showing it. 

The low numbers, then, are a clear indication that the restrictionists—backed squarely by the U.S. government—currently have the upper hand in the public square. But that's not the whole story by any means . . .

We Rallied in Unity: Pro-Migrant Sanctuarysphere

Fri May 02, 2008 at 11:41:28 AM EDT

May 1: Peaceful Marchers Support CIR vs ANTI Attack Strategy and ANTI´s Manipulation of phone, email and faxes to Congress! at Immigration Talk With A Mexican American.

May 1, 2008 marks the third anniversary of Immigration Day in the United States. Pro-immigrant groups across the country are conducting peaceful demonstrations to voice their support for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) and to voice their opposition to Family Detention Centers and Racial Profiling.

Some images from today in Los Angeles at People Migrate.

Low Turnouts for Immigration Marches Have Stronger Implications at Latina Lista.

But this isn't an indication that the Latino community has become complacent about an issue that is accelerating discrimination and racism directed towards all Latinos. On the contrary, the reduced turnout should send another signal that the fight is far from over.
