Nezua Named Recipient of Narco News Scholarship
TODAY, I understand I have a responsibility to employ each and every power and talent and means I possess in confronting, exposing, and righting the injustices in our world. Opportunities that help me reach this goal bring me profound happiness.
Weekly Immigration Wire: As Action on Reform Stalls, Dangerous Polarization Grows
ONCE UPON A TIME, Barack Obama told the nation that we could not afford to approach immigration piecemeal and that his administration would tackle the issue in 2009. The surety of this sentiment has since trickled down into distillations fraught with equivocation. This week’s Wire looks at the growing polarization between advocates and foes of immigration reform.
Nezua Named Commonweal Institute Fellow
THAT SOUND YOU HEAR is the moan of the Newspaper industry as readers abandon the pulpy, stinking ship in droves. This is, in part, why the blogosphere has taken off and some troublemaker like myself can gain such a platform. (Well, that and my secret salsa!)
Weekly Immigration Wire: Climate of Anti-Immigrant Hate Yields Violence
WHEN A GOVERNMENT build walls to stave off fears, it is, ironically, reinforcing that same emotion of fear. When hostile and punitive legislation is enacted, fear of the Other is mixed with aggression.

Weekly Immigration Wire: Child of Immigrants Nominated to Supreme Court

Weekly Immigration Wire: Crisis and the Potential for Change
FROM THE “SWINE” FLU’S declining fervor to 2009’s May Day marches for worker rights and immigrant solidarity; from the tragic killing of Luis Ramirez to legislative movement on immigration, these are tumultuous times. But it is precisely such conflict and challenge that provides the best opportunities to make lasting change.
Weekly Immigration Wire: Swine Flu Infecting Immigration Debate
AT PLAY TODAY in our immigration debate are warring philosophies of who a “people” are and what we owe each other for simply belonging to the same human family. On one side, frothing, fearful punditry stoke division and hostility. On the other, fearless activists champion for our better natures.
Made in L.A. (Hecho en Los Angeles)
MADE IN L.A. IS AN EMMY-WINNING DOCUMENTARY about three Latina immigrant mujeres who organize and fight for labor protections in the US. I’ve reviewed the film and provided information here to help you spread the word about the May Day screenings, if you care to.
