We couldn't agree with Sal Reza more when he says, "There was provocation by some groups who came here for their own purpose to disrupt a peaceful march." We know he isn't talking about us, because Tonatierra invited members of the Diné, O'odham, anarchist/anti-authoritarian bloc on stage to speak at the rally at Falcon Park.
So, who is the outside faction Sal's talking about? In our opinion it must be the Phoenix Police. Unprovoked, a female officer on horseback (who later covered her name on her uniform) charged her horse headlong into the march, colliding with several people and in the process almost running over at least one child in a stroller. After attacking families and protesters, she then whipped out her pepper spray and let loose on the whole crowd, who fled the noxious spew. In the process, children were blasted with pepper spray.

Beer & Revolution: Roundtable Discussion on Borders and Movement
This month Beer & Revolution's format is switching from hosting speakers to a roundtable discussion format. The discussion topic will be "Borders and Movement," and we've invited two Phoenix area collectives busy fighting the militarization and ideology of the border. The good people of CAROB (Central Arizona Radicals Opposing Borders) and the O'odham Solidarity Across Borders Collective will be present to offer their perspectives on how we can give the heave-ho to the current society of misery and domination, and start some kind of new society. This will be an open discussion, and as always we encourage participation, criticism, discussion, and new ideas.

PAC reached consensus last night to gather at the corner of University/Mill at 8pm TODAY, Fri. 9/11 on the corner of University and Mill in Tempe.
We are basically going to pass out some flyers and talk to people.
We will have a poster to put up... no banner...
and maybe some candles (nobody objected or blocked on that issue).
This is last minute, for sure.. but if you can come out, that would be great.

Seriously, this could be the most f-ed up thing that happens this year, as far as state legislation goes. A bill that Arizona Senator Russell Pearce wrote (SB1175) would make it so undocumented immigrants' existence in this state would be considered trespassing, and would also prevent any policy that restricts the police or other state agencies from enforcing federal immigration law. This bill just passed in the senate this week.

Tuesday March 10, 7pm- FREE
ASU Tempe Campus Discovery Hall Room 201
In the near future, America is celebrating the tenth anniversary of a
socialist revolution that has changed the political fabric of the nation,
but some aspects of life have evolved much more than others. As some
Americans become disenchanted with the new order, racism and sexism
are on the rise, and though the new leaders may talk a good game
about economic justice and equality in the workplace, women find
they're still working harder and being paid less, and their jobs
mysteriously vanish when they complain. Adelaide Norris is an
educated African-American woman who is also a blue-collar laborer;
fed up with the double standards that control her life, Norris helps
form the Women's Army, a revolutionary feminist group that serves as
a vigilante force to protect women on the street and a paramilitary
unit to fight the powers that be. The Women's Army are successful
enough in protecting women against rape and assault to gain the
unwelcome attention of the FBI.
Discussion to follow movie. How this relates to the new Obama
presidency is sure to come up. Join us.
Discovery Hall is between Forest and Cady Mall (which would be College, if the street extended into campus) just north of Lemon, which is just north of Apache.
Go to http://www.asu.edu/map/interactive/?campus=tempe and choose DISCVRY in the buildings menu for a map.

HousingPoverty rights activists broke into at least a dozen vacant Minneapolis buildings this week and helped homeless families move in. “This is the modern underground railroad,” said Cheri Honkala, National Organizer for the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, the group organizing the “takeovers.” This week’s actions are part of a growing national movement to illegally open up thousands of vacant, foreclosed homes to provide housing for the growing number of homeless people. Poverty rights activists broke into at least a dozen vacant Minneapolis buildings this week and helped homeless families move in.
“This is the modern underground railroad,” said Cheri Honkala, National Organizer for the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, the group organizing the “takeovers.”

Across the nation, grassroots movements comparable to that in Maricopa County who are focusing on immigrants’ rights are organizing around raids and detention by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), a branch of the Department of Homeland Security, or organizing against the construction of the border wall if geographically relevant, also a project of DHS. Immigration enforcement in the form of raids in particular, as well as the fear and discrimination caused by the laws, are the work of the federal government. Why then are people asking the federal government to solve the problem of our malevolent county sheriff Joe Arpaio?
