A group of Legal Aid, C.R.L.A., M.A.L.D.E.F., and private attorneys met recently to discuss strategies to deal with this problem, and to coordinate efforts on a statewide basis. As part of this, it was decided to attempt to uncover and document as many cases of police harassment as possible, throughout the state. We are interested in any incidents in which local law enforcement officials arrested or detained any person solely for an immigration violation, or interrogated any person regarding his/her immigration status. While certain extraordinary circumstances may justify such detentions or interrogations, in nearly all such cases the police are acting without probable cause and there- fore unlawfully. If you are familiar with any harassment incidents we would be interested in receiving a report summarizing what happened. The report should contain the following information: 1) Name of the victim or victims; 2) Immigration status of the victim; 3) Place and date; 4) Police agency involved-individuals' names if known; CALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE 5) Brief narrative of the interrogation or events leading to arrest; 6) Period of detention, if any--circumstances of release; 7) Description of damages suffered as result of detention--last work, separation from family, etc. Meetings are being planned for the near future with various officials, so it is important that we quickly develop facts demonstrating the full scope of this problem. If you have any questions regarding the information requested, or wish to learn more about the activities of our ad hoc group, feel free to contact me. Sincerely, CALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL ASSISTANCE I JO ANN NOVOSON Attorney at Law JAN:epr p les, P.O. Box 998, Peter Stuyvesant Station New York, New York 10009 ceP Telephone: (212) 674-2640 Dear Friend, Enclosed is a leaflet that we feel very proud of. It is our latest contrib- ution to the very important effort to DEFEAT S-1437/H-6869. This leaflet has been produced to serve as a leaflet for mass distribution-- at subway stops, in meetings, on street corners, etc. Mass pressure is essential to our effort and this leaflet is a resource to help generate that pressure. As you are probably aware, the House Judiciary Subcemmittee-did not approve E-6869. Instead, they did up a proposed bill of their own. Now that the process has moved to the full House Judiciary Committee, however, H-6869 is very much alive once again. It can be introduced by any -member of the Committee or the subcommittee bill can be amended_such that it become H-6869 in fact, if not in name. If a bill comes out of the Judiciary Committee and goes to the full Heuse, the-likelihood is even greater that S-1437/H-6869 comes out pretty much intact at the other end of this long process. This makes efforts to held the process up-in the Judiciary Committee essential and, at the same time, underlines the 'importance of building a much broader mace understanding of what this bill means so that, if it does come before the full House, the broadest possible pressure can be brought to bear on Congresspemple. This leaflet will be available in mass quantity the last week in August. In the meantime, you are encouraged to reproduce it and use it right away. Bulk quantities of the leaflet will be avarlaUe at these prices: up to 100: 4 apiece plus pa,stage up to 500: 14 apiece plus postage over 500: ict apiece plus postage For the Alliance, Ted Glick Staff Coordinator thak. graph:Ito-8, And jparoft+-,/ P.S.

  • Dimensions of US-Cuba Relations 1965-1975 By
    WHEN FEMINISM MEETS INTERNATIONALISM: Dimensions of U.S.-Cuba Relations 1965-1975 By: Pamela Neumann M.A. Candidate, Latin American Studies (University of Texas at Austin) Submitted for ILASSA Conference XXX: February 4-6, 2010 Introduction The histories of the United States and Cuba have been inextricably linked by geographical proximity, a tumultuous cercanía that over the last two centuries has had profound political, economic, and social repercussions. There is a natural scholarly tendency to examine the dynamics between these countries in terms of geopolitical strategic interests, economic trade relationships, or ideological conflict, the value of which certainly cannot be ignored. Nevertheless, the complexity of U.S.-Cuban relations cannot be fully understood apart from a wider engagement with the interactions that have taken place between the two countries outside the purview of government policy. Throughout their respective histories, interactions involving ordinary citizens from diverse backgrounds have led to enriching mutual understanding even during periods of extreme political crisis and hostility between Cuba and the United States. In addition to their impact at the individual and cultural level, these encounters have also sometimes contributed to shifts within social movements and spurred new forms of international activism. One period that exemplifies both of the aforementioned effects of citizen-level interactions came following the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959. In the context of the Cold War, the resulting social and economic changes in Cuba and its growing relationship with the Soviet Union heightened the United States’ concerns about the new Castro regime, leading to a rapid escalation of tensions and a suspension of formal diplomatic relations between the two Neumann 2 countries in 1960.1 However, this break in official government relations hardly signaled an end to the interactions that would occur between citizens from the two countries over the coming decades.

  • Coalition Dissolution, Mobilization, and Network Dynamics in the U.S
    COALITION DISSOLUTION, MOBILIZATION, AND NETWORK DYNAMICS IN THE U.S. ANTIWAR MOVEMENT Michael T. Heaney and Fabio Rojas ABSTRACT Coalition formation and dissolution are integral parts of social movement politics. This article addresses two questions about the effect of coalition politics on organizational processes within social movements. First, how does coalition leadership influence who attends mass demonstrations? Second, how does the dissolution of a coalition affect the locations of organizations in activist networks? The case of schism between United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) and Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) in the contemporary American antiwar movement (2001–2007) is examined. Survey results demonstrate that variations in coalition leadership do not significantly affect protest demographics, though they do attract supporters with different political attitudes, levels of commitment, and organizational affiliations. Further, network analysis establishes that coalition dissolution weakens the ties between previous coalition partners and creates opportunities for actors uninvolved in the split to reaffirm and improve brokerage opportunities. The end result is that preexisting network structures serve to mitigate the effects of coalition dissolution on social movements.

HEANEY AND FABIO ROJAS When public approval of President George W. Bush’s handling of the Iraq War stood at an unprecedented low in September 2005, the American antiwar movement seized the opportunity to get out its message.1 The nation’s two leading grassroots antiwar coalitions – United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) and Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) – formed a grand coalition to sponsor a march in Washington, DC, on September 24, 2005.

  • The Politics of US Feminist Internationalism and Cuba: Solidarities and Fractures on the Venceremos Brigades, 1969-89
    Feminist Encounters: A Journal of Critical Studies in Culture and Politics, 2(1), 03 ISSN: 2542-4920 The Politics of US Feminist Internationalism and Cuba: Solidarities and Fractures on the Venceremos Brigades, 1969-89 Karen W. Tice 1* Published: March 19, 2018 ABSTRACT Despite US travel bans to Cuba, a wide spectrum of US feminist and radical activists defied and crossed geo-political borders to participate in unique modes of solidarity activism and alliances with Cuba revolutionaries. Based on the narratives of US feminist political travellers who joined the Venceremos Brigades, an anti-imperialist radical education project, this article analyses the difficult conversations about feminism, gender politics, homophobia, racism, cultural imperialism, revolutionary priorities, social change strategies, and intersectionality as well as the productive organisational linkages that were generated by this political travel. This article highlights how political differences were both managed and/or silenced within transnational activist encounters, and concludes by suggesting the import of these debates for building and sustaining multi-issue and coalitional affinities within contemporary transnational feminist organising and solidarity delegations. Keywords: Venceremos Brigades, transnational feminism, solidarity delegations, cultural imperialism, geo- political border crossings INTRODUCTION Beginning in the 1960s, and partly as a response to the liberation struggles occurring across the globe, many US activists claimed political kinship and

    SYNOPSIS DISRUPTION tells the story of the greatest crisis mankind has ever faced and the movement rising to fight it by weaving together commentary from the most recognized voices analyzing climate, politics and society today with behind-the-scenes footage of the efforts to organize The People’s Climate March - the largest climate rally in history. Featuring James Hansen, Naomi Oreskes, Van Jones, Bill McKibben, Chris Hayes, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Naomi Klein, Rajendra Pachauri, Justin Gillis, among others - DISRUPTION makes plain the urgency of the present by laying bare the science behind the terrifying tipping points we are threatening to trigger, the failure of our politi- cal process to prevent these catastrophes and the need for a popular movement to challenge these realities. Drawing on insights into the power of popular movements to change the character of society from veteran organiz- ers responsible for the most significant political demonstrations of the last half century, DISRUPTION documents the first steps of the fateful battle to bend the course of history.
