From our Allies at Just Transition-- please take a minute to call in and denounce the dog-and-pony show that is being planned to push through an agenda that will ultimately sell out the border... We are calling on all of you to make calls urgently to congress (Numbers Below) and denounce these hearings as racist congregations of hatemongers. Look at the list of invitees its all Border Patrol, Sheriff's and Vigilantees (in some cases they are the same). We in San Diego are first on the hearing list. You should be scheduling walk outs and massive protests in your area to flood the hearings near you with all the ferver of MAY 1st. Call tomorrow since its going to be a long Holiday for officials. They planned it on purpose so that we could not build numbers for Tuesday morning 9:00 am and everyone is all hyped up on the 4th of July frenzy. Today it's US tomorrow it's YOU! Jose Bravo Send this email out to others. URGENT! Calling campaign regarding the Congressional Hearing on Border Vulnerabilities and International Terrorism, July 5, San Diego, CA. Join us in voicing opposition to this biased hearing, by contacting members of the House Subcommittee on International Terrorism and Nonproliferation TODAY! (Please see below for information on the hearing in San Diego.) Talking points to be used: Denounce these âopenâ hearings as a farce; obviously biased toward one side of border issues, as observed through selection of panelists and location of the hearing. Exclusionary practices and lack of transparency in the planning of this hearing; the voice of human rights groups and community- based organizations in the border region has been deliberately excluded from the dialogue on the hearing, making the event inaccessible to the communities most affected by border enforcement. Such one-sided proceedings, masquerading as public hearings, only increase the tensions surrounding border policy and immigration reform, instead of promoting solutions to these debates. These so-called âpublicâ hearings are an affront to the dignity of border communities, who have fundamentally opposed increased border enforcement measures since the implementation of Operation Gatekeeper in 1994. The hearing legitimizes border vigilantism, by providing an undemocratic, paramilitary organization such as the Friends of the Border Patrol with an official voice in the hearing.
