I regret that I am not able to post a more formal letter on behalf of CLUE and/or the church sponsoring Liliana, but as usual the communication is extremely....lacking. Nevertheless, the word I have received is that YES---- there will be at least a CLUE sponsored counter protest on Sunday Oct. 14th in Simi Valley as the Minutemen plan to come back in full force to demand her deportation. 10 am to Noon, take 118 west, exit Sycamore, go left, 1 mile to Royal St., Church is on left hand side, you won't be able to miss it with all the Minutemen flags that will be waving. Danzantes and jaraneros are HIGHLY encouraged and invited to attend, as they tend to lighten the atmosphere of such protests. And, most importantly, we are wanting MORE THAN ANYTHING to have an incident-free demonstration where community members can have the opportunity to come out and support Liliana, but where we can work very hard together to avoid any disruption. GUIDELINES?? or, agreements for the day?? --PLEASE DO NOT WALK OR BE BY YOURSELF while coming or going from the protest / church. Do not let the MInutemen and/or skinhead nazi's have the opportunity to corner someone when no cameras are looking as what happened last time. --REMEMBER that we are there to SUPPORT Liliana, the minutemen being there is not the greatest threat at all to Liliana right now, we need to be responsible for all of our people while we're there in representing a solid front of people who support Liliana and the rights of all "immigrants", and remember that any violent outburst of any sort will NOT BENEFIT LILIANA at all !!!!! so,please be calm, and be careful, and carry a camera at all times!!!! and--bring a colorful sign and flowers for Liliana and her children! Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Original-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note from MN: Last time, Minutemen, SOS and their bonehead supporters (as in nazi boneheads) outnumbered defenders of Liliana and sanctuary. They used their numerical advantage as bullies, and peppersprayed migrant rights defenders. (See below) We need to avoid a repeat: 9/16: Minutemen Provoke, Pepper Spray, in Simi Valley by Marcus Tuesday, Sep. 18, 2007 Los Angeles Independent Media Center http://la.indymedia.org/news/2007/09/207304.php SIMI VALLEY, California, Sunday, September 16, 2007: At 10 a.m., 40 pro-immigrant supporters and about 80 Minutemen and their supporters faced off on each side of the driveway leading to the parking lot of the United Church of Christ on Royal Avenue where Liliana has taken refuge from the Immigration Services. During the protest, a small group of three Minutemen came on the pro-immigrant side apparently to provoke. Pro-immigrant supporters complained to the Simi Valley PD, but to no avail. Despite the angry protests of immigrant supporters, the police didn't force the Minutemen to move, Half an hour later at 11: 12 a.m. a Minuteman pepper sprayed Naui Hutizilopochtli, an immigrant activist, so badly that he had to be taken to the hospital by paramedics. The protests went on until 1 p.m. without further incidents. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
