Two of the people arrested -- Maria Huerta and Alejandro Guizar -- were riders on the No Papers No Fear bus. The other two arrested -- Marciela Lou and Frances Ashley -- are from Knoxville, TN. The four performed a civil disobedience action with a banner that says No Papers No Fear outside the Sheriffs office. The No Papers No Fear bus left Phoenix, Arizona on July 29 and has been traveling across the country to arrive in Charlotte in time for actions before and during the Democratic National Convention. They are scheduled to arrive in Charlotte on Saturday, September 1 and will be speaking around 8pm at the Festivaliberacion at Area 15 (514 E. 15th St). They will also be speaking and organizing a No Papers No Fear contingent in the March on Wall Street South on Sunday, September 2 at 11am at Frazier Park. The Coalition to March on Wall Street South calls for the immediate release of the 4 people arrested today. We urge all those who stand for justice to sign and circulate the petition demanding their release, to call Sherriff Jones at 865-971-3901 to demand that the four not be turned over to ICE, to make a donation to the bail fund, and to take action to support the No Papers No Fears riders. Their call to action is copied below: < http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ypTrLMzf3cPXkpQ2LSqORnTOkQ9%2BFZKD > < http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=VlWW7bnVtMUApr91HazaDHTOkQ9%2BFZKD > < http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ID3vmncHdkxL2IhtGbiPN3TOkQ9%2BFZKD > < http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ynYmOL8NCUYTsD2Mifcv4nTOkQ9%2BFZKD > Today No Papers No Fear Riders were arrested in Knoxville for coming out at the Sheriff's Office. [Donate for their bail < http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1V6Pp44%2FPink9oLSE4BVH3TOkQ9%2BFZKD > ] Since the winter Sheriff JJ Jones has sought to get a 287(g) agreement that would convert his Knox County jail into an even larger deportation machine. For months, the local community has marched and petitioned and asked for dialogue only to be ignored by the Sheriff. Even media has been locked out from any information. And so, our oldest and yougest riders, Maria Huerta (65) and Alejandro Guizar (19) alongside two more people from Knoxville, Maricela Lou (52) and Frances Ashely (65), performed civil disobedience with a banner that says "No Papers No Fear" outside the Sheriff's office because the migrant community will not be ignored. Please Call ICE and tell them not to pursue cases against any of the No Papers No Fear arrestees in Knoxville. 202.732.3000 <tel:202.732.3000> Call Sheriff JJ Jones and to tell him not to turn the arrestees over to ICE if they get holds placed on them. 865-971-3901 <tel:865-971-3901> And Sign the Petition < http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ywzZLXpb8pHx%2FN6FKmqUUnTOkQ9%2BFZKD > to Keep them Out of Deportation Proceedings Community leaders deserve relief not deportation no matter what age they are. Maria Huerta says, "Even at 65 I am not scared to spend a night in jail if this means that my experience is known and my voice is heard. Alejandro Guizar is a 19 year old Tennessean. At the press conference he explained, We have tried to meet with the Sheriff for the last 6 months with no response. So now we are coming to him. He'll have to make a decision. Will he turn us over to immigration or will he recognize our dignity as human beings? Sign the petition to keep them out of deportation proceedings < http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=v6OMTI344db8RCvxZTQp63TOkQ9%2BFZKD > The risk riders took today is one that undocumented immigrants face every day, the difference is that when undocumented people come out publicly, we're part of an organized community. It will be up to us to make sure the government use's its discretion and treats them with the respect they deserve. PLEASE TELL SHERIFF JONES RESPECT THE MIGRANT COMMUNITY. Call 865-971-3901 <tel:865-971-3901> and tell him not to turn the No Papers No Fear arrestees over to ICE. Suggested Script: My name is ____, and I am calling from ____ in support of.
