In troubled times in Mexico

Laura and Gloria Muñoz Carlcen, in another of their presentations as they pass through Los Angeles, California, narrate the context, consequences, and hopes for the work in the communities where a war against drug trafficking originated in Mexico, which in recent years has left thousands dead and missing, and thousands of families in pain in the Mexican nation. They have recently stopped announcing the deaths, which frighten the population: What is not said, is like it doesn't exist.
Like recent "vigilante" mounts such as the recent arrest of the leader of the teachers union. Imposing, replacing Jongitud Barrios, the teachers union leader in 1989. As a resource for their purposes political circus at the time and as we see now 24 years later. Bread and circus to the people. Occupying pseudo informational spaces with those distractions that prevent the knowing of the people's movements to defend wildlife, land and their own lives.
In the attached audio you can hear part of the dissertation. It was held yesterday afternoon, February 27th 2013, at the Filipino Workers Cener .

Day laborers with creative hands

Porfirio Vazquez, day laborer at the Cypress Job Center, one of four centers managed by IDEPSCA, shares the skill he has in his hands to create figures with all sorts of materials that he finds in his path, such as metals and stones that develop his talent.
Porfirio not only seeks work, he also also seeks an opportunity with an organization or foundation so that many others like him may find the support and resources to continue creating art.
The tough economic times do not prevent Porfirio from fighting for a friendlier future and finding a place to share his artistic abilities.This story is one of many that exist, here in this country in the difficult conditions through which we go are going through, people are still working and looking for different ways to survive, and most importantly: we continue to create and contribute in all aspects for this nation.
NOTE: This story will continue...

ICE breaks families apart
This testimony tells the story of a family that has been targeted by ICE. About four months ago, ICE came knocking on this family's door looking for the respondent's aunt to deport her. The aunt was already in the process of obtaining her documents through her employer, but she had to travel to Mexico due to a family emergency. Since her trip was not authorized, ICE issued an immediate deportation order and this family has had to move and hide from ICE so that they do not become another family separated by unjust immigration laws.
