Community gives thanks, bysharing blessings with others

La comunidad da gracias,compartiendo bendiciones

By Pablo J. Sáinz

Throughout San Diego County, theThanksgiving spirit began early, withseveral local organizations andelected officials sharing blessingswith those less fortunate.

In National City, Mayor RonMorrison and his staff, with help fromlocal businesses, distributed turkeysto 450 families in several schools inthe National City annual tradition.

“All of our communities have feltthe effects of these economic times,”Morrison said. “It is so gratifying tosee how the National City commu-nity comes together to provide forthose in need to enjoy this time ofThanksgiving.”

Morrison visited the schools theweek prior to Thanksgiving Day.

“Our reward is seeing apprecia-

tive families knowing that their fam-ily will have a traditional Thanksgiv-ing dinner that so many of us take forgranted,” he said.

Also in National City, the local po-lice department along with the Na-tional Latino Police Officers Associa-tion helped 25 needy families withThanksgiving dinners.

“It is important that we continue tosupport our community in meaningfulways and the holidays provide us withthe opportunity to give back to ourcommunity through our communitypartners by assisting residents in need,”said Chief Manuel Rodriguez.

The Darren Wilson grand jury hasdecided that the officer will not beindicted for the August 9 fatal shoot-ing of unarmed, black teenagerMichael Brown. The decision comeswithin the context of intense local andnational protesting and organizing. Sowhat does the lack of an indictmentin the Michael Brown killing mean?Here’s what leading activists andthinkers told Colorlines immediatelyafter the decision was announced:

Patrisse Cullors, executive direc-tor of Dignity and Power Now andco-founder of Black Lives Mat-ter

How do you feel about the de-cision? The decision to not indictDarren Wilson is infuriating, frighten-ing, and maddening. This country hasshown time and time again that blacklife is invaluable. I also know that theindictment or non-indictment of oneofficer will not end the rampant ter-ror police departments enact uponblack communities. We cannot jail or

indict our way out of white su-premacy.

What can we do to move for-ward? We must continue to be in thestreets, lobby for new laws and pushfor the demilitarizing of police depart-ments as well as reducing their bud-gets. We need to believe that safetydoes not have to rely on a badge orgun, but rather healthy communitiesthat are provided with jobs, shelterand proper education.

Brittney Cooper, Crunk FeministCollective

How do you feel about the de-cision? Devastated.

What can we do to move for-ward? Revolt.

Imani Perry, professor in theCenter for African American Stud-ies at Princeton University

How do feel about the deci-sion? The decision is harrowing andyet mundane. Police violence, a lackof due process, surveillance, pre-sumptions of black guilt, and the ab-solute devaluation of black life are alleveryday business in America. The

American criminal justice system isso rotten, perhaps it is a fools errandto ever seek justice or fairness fromit. Had Darren Wilson been indicted,the odds that he would be convictedwould have been minimal. If he hadbeen convicted, it wouldn’t havechanged the fact that law enforce-ment is an engine of anti-black rac-ism in this country. Yet this decisionis still a terrible blow. It is a greenlight for an ever more murderous po-lice state.

On a day when the worldprotested state violence againstthe Mexican students of theAyotzinapa rural teachers col-lege, Ciudad Juarez was noexception.

In the big border city acrossfrom El Paso, Texas, the No-vember 20 protest- timed tocoincide with the official holi-day anniversary of the 1910Mexican Revolution- producedmultiple street protests, the sei-zure of a highway toll booth, abrief blockade of the Santa FeBridge connecting Juarez withEl Paso, and poetry brigades.A large multi-media event wasstaged at the Autonomous Uni-versity of Ciudad Juarez (UA-CJ), where normal activitieswere suspended for Novem-ber 20 so students and staffcould take a public stand on thehuman rights crisis grippingtheir nation.

Hundreds of students, teach-ers, union activists and commu-nity members got involved inlocal events organized for whatbecame known as N20. In vir-tually unprecedented fashion,some Mexican cities canceledthe official November 20 annualparades due to governmentfears of the mounting protests,but the one in Ciudad Juarezproceeded as scheduled- albeitwith the addition of protesterswho managed to squeeze theirway into the end of the parade,according to Diana Solis, UACJstudent and member of the ac-tivist University Assembly.

“The people are participat-ing. Many people came out tosupport,” Solis said. “This isunstoppable. The governmentis worried.”

In Juarez, November 20was also the beginning of a 43-hour prayer vigil sponsored bythe Roman Catholic Church.The length of the vigil corre-sponded to the number ofAyotzinapa students forciblydisappeared by police in thestate of Guerrero last Septem-ber 26. Elizabeth Flores, direc-tor of the Catholic Church’slabor justice ministry in CiudadJuarez, told FNS that 43 dif-ferent parishes each agreed tomaintain the vigil at a centralchurch for one hour at a timeuntil Saturday, November 22.

At the UACJ’s UniversityCultural Center, the spaciousbuilding and patio was trans-formed into a workshop ofpopular culture. A young crowdpainted protest murals on largecanvasses, watched themati-cally-relevant videos, listenedto music and educational pro-grams and passed out bookletsof poetry and prose.

In numerous presentations,speakers delved into the his-torical background of Ayotzi-napa and other rural teachercolleges, the so-called drug war,violations of human rights,femicide, and more.

Likely the most impactfulsession featured the emotion-charged stories of 12 relativesof victims of forced disappear-ance and murder in CiudadJuarez-women and men alike.

Two hours of gut-wrenchingtestimonies rendered a largelyyouthful audience stunned, si-lent and outraged.

Manuel Favela detailed thecase of a son who went miss-ing in 2012, a time when thecity was supposedly secured,according to the bereaved fa-ther. Favela recounted how thefamily was living in El Paso,but his son still visited Juarezto see a girlfriend whom heplanned to marry. Though evi-dence linked police to the dis-appearance, the legal authori-ties discounted the lead, Favelacharged.

“We aren’t the only ones.There are thousands. Unfor-tunately, you can be the nextones,” Favela warned hisyouthful listeners. “Don’t thinkit can’t happen, because it canwith the authorities we have.”

As Favela and the otherrelatives spoke, two large ban-ners draped on the stage frontbeamed the photos of scoresof women and girls missing inJuarez since the 1990s. Insome cases, a name substitutedfor the lack of a picture.Among the missing shownwere Heidi Slaquet, 1995;“Baby” Covarrubias Ibarra,1995; Guadalupe Luna de laRosa, 2000.

Yolanda Betancourt told theaudience how her 19-year-olddaughter, Janeth Paola SotoBetancourt, suddenly vanishedin 2011. Like numerous othermissing and murdered youngwomen In Juarez, Paola stud-ied computers and English in

the city’s downtown, an areaidentified long before the teen’sdisappearance as a zone ofdanger for women by activists,academic researchers andeven some government offi-cials.

“(Janeth Paola) had a goodfuture and it was taken awayfrom her,” Betancourt said.“We don’t know what hap-pened to her. She wanted tobe a veterinarian, but they tookit from her.”

Almost collapsing on thestage, Ernestina AlvaradoCastillo graphically describedthe pain and anguish she saidconsumed her life after the2008 disappearance of a 13-year-old granddaughter, CinthiaJocabeth Castaneda Alvarado,who also vanished in down-town Juarez.

“Sometimes I don’t want toknow about my husband, mychildren or myself,” Alvaradoexhaled, as she broke down.“I can’t continue with thestruggle, because I feel impo-tent. I feel alone. Where is my(grand) daughter?”

In an earlier presentation,longtime local activist and ana-lyst Gero Fong placed violencein Juarez in the context of capi-talist crisis, state repression, theU.S. war against terrorism andthe series of “obscure wars”between purported criminalgroups that ripped apart his cityin recent years, even onceearning Juarez the moniker“Murder Capital of the World.”

Juarez, Fong maintained,has long served as an “experi-

mental field” for policies andpractices that later spread tothe rest of Mexico, pioneeringsuch developments as freetrade zones, the maquiladoraindustry, the alternating of po-litical power between the PRIand PAN parties, femicide, andthe narco war.

In comments to FNS, he dif-ferentiated between violence inthe Juarez of a few years ago-many less public shootouts andthe withdrawal of soldiers andfederal police from the streets-and today’s bloodletting, whichconsists of a far lower but stillhigh body count from gang-land-style slayings that, withsome recent exceptions, tendto take place away from themain thoroughfares.

“The war has changed intosomething permanent. Thatdoesn’t mean the soldiersdon’t have permission to act,”Fong said. “(Violence) hasmoments of crisis and no cri-sis, but it never goes away.”

In an ironic appearance ofsorts, an emblematic figure ofMexican politics spoke in thesame auditorium right after thefamily members of violencevictims finished their presen-tation. Cuauhtemoc Cardenas’talk, however, was not directlyrelated to the N20 protest buthad been scheduled as part ofa UACJ course on energypolicy.

Still, the former Mexico Citymayor’s lecture provided abackdrop or subtext to many

What can we do to moveforward? We must follow theorganizers, both Ferguson or-ganizers and national organiz-ers. It is time for us to remem-ber the legacies of SNCC, EllaBaker and Fannie Lou Hamer,to hold them close as our in-heritance. It is time for us tostudy the systems of racial andeconomic injustice in order tobest struggle against them. Itis time for establishment andbureaucratic civil rights profes-sionals to step back and makespace for this rebirth of thefreedom movement. It is timefor us to join this movement, tolisten, to learn, and to keep ourhands on freedom’s plow.

Deepa Iyer, Race Forwardboard of directors andformer director of SouthAsian Americans LeadingTogether

How do you feel aboutthe decision? I am deeplysaddened and outraged by thefailure of the grand jury to in-dict Darren Wilson. The legalsystem too has failed MichaelBrown and his family. But I’malso trying to draw courageand inspiration from the pro-testors in Ferguson who have,for three months now in themidst of a virtual police state,reminded us why we must con-tinue to fight for reforms in thecriminal justice system, frompolice accountability to the de-militarization of law enforce-ment to anti-profiling laws.

What can we do to moveforward? As a South AsianAmerican, I am committed tothe struggle for racial justiceand my responsibility to ourmovement has become evenmore clearer in light of theevents in Ferguson.

Dr. Yaba Blay, director orAfricana Studies, DrexelUniversity

How do you feel aboutthe decision? I’m frustratedwith myself for expecting, ifonly for a moment, that peoplewho have historically not val-ued black life, would actuallyvalue black life. More thananything, I’m sad. I’m just sad.This is no way to live.

What can we do to moveforward?Organize. Organize.

Organize.

Mychal Denzel Smith,writer and Knobler Fellowat the Nation Institute

How do you feel aboutthe decision? The decisionwas as expected. The UnitedStates is founded on white su-premacy and the destruction ofblack bodies and continues itsexistence on those principles.

What can we do to moveforward? Moving forward, to-ward justice, is a matter ofmaking the privileged uncom-fortable. The marginalized andterrorized communities ofAmerica will have to asserttheir right to existence in ev-ery way possible, from politicsto the arts, from classrooms tocorner stores, and beyond. Thefight is on.

Bakari Kitwana, executivedirector of Rap Sessionsand author of the forthcom-ing “Hip-Hop Activism inthe Obama Era

How do you feel aboutthe decision? The debtAmerica owes the Brownfamily can never be paid. Thisverdict reveals the salient mes-sage lost on the powers thatbe: There is no conditioning thatcan be imagined that can pre-pare black people to acceptthat death of an unarmed teenat the hands of a police officeris justifiable. America has justlost the latest generation ofblack Americans who imaginedjustice could be found in theland that prides itself on a per-verted sense of the rule of law.

The country has no jobs forblack youth. No affordablemeaningful education. No jus-tice. With every new statesanctioned murder, America issigning its own death certifi-cate. Minus an apparatus ofjustice, black people are left tomete out a brand of justice oftheir own.

What can we do to moveforward? It is clear the policehave been empowered by thestate to shoot to kill with impu-nity. In the reformist lane, thatmeans at the very least disarm-ing the police and requiring of-ficers to live in the communi-ties they serve. In the revolu-tionary lane, we must keep in

mind that we are dealing withthe second generation of blackAmericans to come of age af-ter the civil rights movement.The promises that black folkimagined two generations agohave not been realized. This isa generation to whom Americafeels no obligation. No obliga-tion to provide jobs. No obliga-tion to provide a living wage.No obligation to get the vam-pire corporations out of theirpockets. No obligation to pro-vide affordable, meaningfuleducation. We have a genera-tion that imagined justice wouldprevail who just had thatsnatched away. Much like thesecond generation that cameof age after the civil war, whoushered in the great migration,this is a generation whosebacks have been pushed to thewall. They have nothing to lose.In my estimation, no form ofvigilante justice is off the table.

Salamishah Tillet, associateprofessor of English, Uni-versity of Pennsylvania, co-founder, A Long WalkHome

How do you feel aboutthe decision? Waiting for this[decision] is the ritual of blacklife in America: dying, grieving,fighting, demanding, mourning,mounting protests, hoping, vot-ing, being disenfranchised, shotat and dying again. Right now,I am wondering how to stop acycle that African-Americansneither created nor condoneand how far from freedom westill remain.

Last time Black Americagathered around like this wasprobably when Barack Obamabecame president in 2008. Howlittle the word “hope” meansright now and how huge theproject/practice/principle andradical act that # BlackLives-Matters means today, as it didthen, as it is always has in thisgrand experiment we callAmerica. Rest in power, belovedprince. #FergusonGoddam.

What can we do to moveforward? We continue to or-ganize with vigilance to dis-mantle a capitalist, racist, andsexist system that predicatesitself on rendering black livesas weaponized bodies, as infe-rior, and not worthy of state

protection and due process.This means we continue totake on the prison-industrialcomplex, violence againstwomen, wealth inequality, andour elected officials (eventhose who claim to be with us)with deep, unwavering resis-tance.

Gary Delgado, Alliance fora Just Society and RaceForward board member

How do you feel about thedecision? The preparation, tim-ing, and cautions for peacefulprotest all pointed to an unjustdecision. I’m angry but not sur-

prised. The most common resultof a police murder is the exon-eration of cop who didn’t get thememo that America is post ra-cial. As Wilson’s defenders say,“He was doing what he gottrained to do.” Now, as commu-nities of color express, a deepsadness, and a glowering rage,men in riot gear are doing whatthey are trained to do—channel-ing their fear into defendingbricks, glass, and concrete.

The New Americans Museum RisesAgain

After a five-year hiatus,the Museum returns to itsLiberty Station home with

new leadership, exhibitions& programming

Founded in 2001 byDeborah Szekely, world re-knowned philanthropist, healthguru, and mastermind behindRancho La Puerta Spa andGolden Door, the New Ameri-cans Museum returns to abooming NTC/Liberty StationCultural Arts District with newleadership and a fresh and en-gaging approach to meeting itsmission of celebrating the con-tributions of immigrants (postWWII) to our nation’s history.Since its inception, the Mu-seum has established a trackrecord of celebratingAmerica’s immigrant commu-nities through educational pro-gramming, including an oralhistories project, immigrant es-says competition, forums, ex-hibitions and civic events.

Deborah Szekely, 92—aformidable national figure andactivist who has championedsocial justice and the buildingof understanding between cul-tures and backgroundsthroughout her lifetime—con-ceived the Museum as an in-stitution that would convenepeople of all cultures to cel-ebrate the myriad of experi-ences and contributions thatimmigrants have made to buildour great nation. TheMuseum’s new leadershipteam is poised to take the mis-sion and vision to new and ex-citing heights.

Linda Caballero Sotelo, theMuseum’s newly appointedExecutive Director, is a first-generation immigrant, born andraised in Tijuana, Mexico. Ca-ballero Sotelo is a true bi-cul-tural, bi-national individual whocrossed the border into San

Diego every day in childhoodto attend school in the U.S.Those early experienceshelped her understand first-hand the sacrifice her parentsmade to offer her the promiseand opportunities of life in theUnited States. CaballeroSotelo comes to the NewAmericans Museum with over20 years of notable profes-sional experience as an execu-tive director, business owner,community leader and bi-na-tional arts figure.

“Linda’s remarkable back-ground, energy and qualitieshave prepared her well to leadthe New American’s Mu-seum,” said Deborah Szekely,Founder and President. “Withher diverse range of experi-ences—from visual arts man-agement, non profits, pro-grams, and advocacy, to the

national and international per-spectives and track record ininnovative international artprojects management such asinSITE97—Linda brings theunderstanding, experience, re-lationships, breadth and depththat we have been seeking todevelop this next and excitingphase of the New AmericansMuseum. We are thrilled tohave her.”

Together with the board ofdirectors and a team of cura-tors and advisers, the Museumhas set in motion an excitingprogramming approach to anever-more vibrant San Diegocultural arts scene. A more ro-bust series of commissionedexhibitions will fill a busy 2015Museum calendar with newand traveling shows. In addi

University of CaliforniaPresident Janet Napolitano an-nounced that UC will expandlegal services to undocu-mented students at six cam-puses. The UC Davis Schoolof Law will host a pilot legalservices center that will servethe immigration-related legalneeds of students on UC cam-puses without law schools: UCMerced, UC San Francisco,UC Santa Cruz, UC SantaBarbara, UC San Diego andUC Riverside.

The pilot program was cre-ated in response to a recom-mendation made by the Presi-dent’s Advisory Committee onUndocumented Students, agroup of faculty, administratorsand students appointed byNapolitano earlier this year.

The Undocumented StudentLegal Services Center will pro-vide high-quality legal assis-tance to support the needs ofundocumented and AB540-eli-gible students. The pilot projectwill be led by UC Davis facultywho are nationally renownedexperts in immigration law, in-cluding Dean Kevin R. Johnsonand professors Gabriel “Jack”Chin, Leticia Saucedo, RoseCuison Villazor, Brian Soucek,Amagda Pérez and Holly Coo-per, as well as professor emeri-tus Cruz Reynoso, former stateSupreme Court justice.

“This pilot program is justthe beginning,” Napolitanosaid. “We want to create amodel for other UC campusesand universities across the na-tion to provide legal represen-

tation for undocumented stu-dents on their campuses.”

The program will operateout of the UC Davis School ofLaw Immigration Law Clinic.One of the first of its kind inthe nation, the program offerslaw students the opportunity torepresent immigrants in immi-gration court and before immi-gration agencies under the di-rection of staff attorneys.

Services to UC students willinclude:

· Legal clinics and process-ing of Deferred Action forChildhood Arrivals (DACA)and DACA renewal applica-tions, including applications re-lated to the expansion ofDACA announced by Presi-dent Obama last night

· Legal services advice andcounseling to undocumentedstudents

· Informational and know-your-rights sessions

· On-campus walk-in coun-seling and advice sessions

· Training for students andvolunteers in immigration ser-vices

“This groundbreaking pro-gram is a way for the Univer-sity of California and UCDavis School of Law to assistundocumented UC studentsand help them to continue theireducational journey,” saidDean Johnson. “These are thestate’s future entrepreneurs,engineers, and communityleaders, and we all benefit byensuring that they can pursuethe American dream.”

María Blanco will serve as

executive director of the Un-documented Student Legal Ser-vices Center. Blanco has morethan 20 years of experience asa litigator and advocate for im-migrant rights. In previous roles,she worked at UC BerkeleySchool of Law, the CaliforniaCommunity Foundation, and theMexican American Legal De-fense and Educational Fund ,where she played a key role inthe passage of AB 540. Shecurrently serves on the boardof Public Policy Institute ofCalifornia and is a commis-sioner on the California Citizens’Redistricting Commission.

Immigration is a complexarea of law requiring expertiseoften not readily available toimmigrant communities. Un-documented and AB 540 stu-dents and their families faceimmigration-related barriers totheir full integration on cam-puses and in their communities.Without legal representation,many fail to pursue benefits forwhich they may qualify. Theprincipal goal of the pilotproject center will be to closethis gap in access to the legalsystem and ensure that AB540 and undocumented stu-dents have the resources andsupport they need to succeedas scholars, students, and citi-zens of California.

Various services for un-documented students are cur-rently available at UC cam-puses with law schools; the pi-lot program will help to designa structure that can be used atother campuses in the future.

Acompañada de sus doshijos, el más pequeño acurru-cado en su carriola, llegó a laCasa Blanca sin importarle lasinclemencias del frío paraagradecerle al presidente elvalor político de ignorar lasamenazas de los republicanosy darle a la comunidad deinmigrantes uno de los mejoresregalos de Navidad.

Aunque me compartió lafelicidad que sentía por habersequitado de la espalda el peligrode una deportación —toda vezque es elegible para recibir losbeneficios de la acción eje-cutiva del presidente—, dejó enclaro que seguirá en la lucha,en las movilizaciones, hastaque se logre una solución paratodos y con carácter definitivo.

La reacción de la inmi-grante indocumentada resumeen mi opinión el ánimo de lacomunidad latina de EstadosUnidos, incluidos aquellos queson residentes permanentes ociudadanos: Es un extra-ordinario primer paso positivo,pero no se ha perdido de vistaque la meta final será unareforma migratoria aprobadapor el Congreso.

Es posible hacer muchaslecturas de la decisión presi-dencial: Pudo haber sido una

reacción natural al descalabropolítico de los demócratas el 4de noviembre y un cálculopolítico hacia las eleccionespresidenciales del 2016. Pudoser un intento de Obama desolidificar su legado comocampeón de la causa de losmás vulnerables o un genuinointerés por componer lasinjusticias del sistema migra-torio. O una combinación detodo lo anterior.

Pero más allá de las inter-pretaciones posibles, es unhecho que su decisión –aunquetemporal e imperfecta— ten-drá un impacto real en la vidade millones de familias.

Por los pronto, la acciónejecutiva del presidente abreuna respiro a unos 4 millonesde inmigrantes indocumen-tados que tengan hijos quesean ciudadanos estadouni-denses o residentes perma-nentes y que hayan estado enel país ininterrumpidamentedurante 5 años, carezcan deantecedentes de delitos ma-yores y estén dispuestos apagar impuestos.

Otros 300,000 indocumen-tados podrán recibir los bene-ficios del llamado Programa deAcción Diferida (DACA), todavez que se eliminan algunos delos techos de edad y se extiendela cobertura a todos aquellosque llegaron a Estados Unidosantes del 2010. Con anteriori-dad la fecha límite era el 2007.Adicionalmente seguirán conlos beneficios los 600,000jóvenes “soñadores” que seinscribieron a la primera rodade DACA.

Todos aquellos interesados

recibirán a partir del próximoaño un permiso laboral de tresaños. Para muchos serán susprimeros papeles legales dentrodel país.

Sin embargo aún no estáclaro cuántos de los inmi-grantes indocumentados elegi-bles aceptarán sumarse a lapropuesta presidencial. En-cuestas previas muestran quemuchos inmigrantes indocu-mentados aprecian con es-cepticismo las medidas dealivio parcial, porque las vencomo la puerta para ser ficha-dos, sin garantías de quepuedan permanecer en el paísde manera permanente.

Un ejemplo claro de ladesconfianza fue evidente conel programa DACA. Aunquealgunos grupos independientesestimaron que el universopotencial de beneficiarios erade hasta 1.8 millones de jó-venes. Sólo 600,000 se hanenrolado a dos años de suentrada en vigor.

Pero las actitudes del públi-co registran siempre una natu-ral evolución y espero que laacción presidencial sea corres-pondida por una respuestapositiva de similar intensidad porparte de los inmigrantes ele-gibles. Un primer sondeo rea-lizado por Latino Decisions estasemana muestra que un 89 porciento de los votantes latinosregistrados apoya la acción delpresidente. El respaldo tra-sciende las divisiones partidistasy las nacionalidades. Es un buenindicio.

Este viernes la primera damaMichelle Obama develará elflamante árbol de Navidad dela Casa Blanca, para continuaruna tradición enraizada en elánimo del público. Pero paramillones de indocumentados, elespíritu de la Navidad no sólollegó por adelantado, sino querevitalizó la flama de unaesperanza que parecía estar apunto de extinguirse.

“This scholarship reallyhelps me because I was facedwith so much anxiety aboutpaying for my textbooks,” hesaid.

Angels and Devils Battle Again in San Diego’s MostPopular Holiday Show at San Diego REP

San Diego’s longest-runningprofessional theatre productionis celebrating its 24th anniver-sary this year, but Lucifer issneering. The Prince of Dark-ness and his minions are mak-ing plans to ruin the first Christ-mas.

“La Pastorela de Inspira-cion,” the newest in TeatroMascara Magica’s award-win-ning series of Mexican-inspiredChristmas musicals, once againfeatures the timeless battlebetween Lucifer’s forces ofevil and Michael the Arch-angel’s champions of goodnessset in today’s world of chaosand hope. Angels and devilsdo battle in 2014 disguises.

“La Pastorela is our gift tothis unique community,” saidplaywright Dr. Max Brans-comb. “It is a lot of fun and areminder that people of goodwill can make a difference inour world.”

“La Pastorela de Inspira-cion” is a contemporary border-lands twist on the traditionalstory of the shepherds’ journeyto Bethlehem to witness thefirst Christmas. Called to actionby Archangels Michael andGabriel, the shepherds facetemptation and danger from evilLucifer and his nasty crew. Thebilingual script is primarily inEnglish with Christmas carolssung in Spanish.

Written by Dr. Max Brans-comb and directed by WilliamVirchis, “La Pastorela deInspiracion” runs Dec. 11-14and 18-20 at 7:30 p.m., and 2p.m. Dec. 13, 14, 20 and 21 atthe Lyceum Theater in HortonPlaza. Tickets are $15 for

adults, $10 for students, militaryand groups and $7 for childrenunder 12 or groups of 10 ormore. For reservations call(619) 544-1000.

Cast members include someof San Diego’s most popularactors. Paul Kruse is Lucifer,the rock star Prince of Dark-ness. Timothy Paul Evans andSandra Ruiz are the devils Sa-tan and Moloch. Willie Greenplays Michael the Archangel,aided by Edwin Ortiz as Gabriel.Bryant Hernandez is back asCrespo the Sheep. Featuredshepherds include Paul Araujo,Natalee Nordfeld and BiancaQuilantan.

La pastorela is a folk artform that dates back to thebeginning of Christianity. Dur-ing the second century earlyChristians in hiding acted outthe Christmas story to hand itdown in the oral tradition. Itsurvived as an undergroundmovement until the EmperorConstantine legalized Chris-tianity in the fourth century.

The Spaniards brought it toMexico in the 1540s and it be-came that country’s mostpopular form of theatre. Morethan 2,500 variations are pro-duced south of the border. Al-most every city, town and vil-lage in Mexico has its own ver-sion of la pastorela.

A pastorela is the tale of theshepherd’s journey to Bethle-hem to witness the first Christ-mas. It is a journey fraught withtemptation, distraction and mor-tal peril as the devils try to pre-vent the shepherds from reach-ing their special destination. Itis a traditional morality play full

of choices and introspection, butpresented with levity, music,beautiful costumes and poeticdialogue.

TMM and the Old GlobeTheater developed and pro-duced the first English languagepastorela in San Diego in 1991at the Globe. The play appealsto English and Spanish speak-ers alike. The text is in Englishand the beautiful Christmassongs are in Spanish. RaulMoncada of the Globe wrotethe first script and mentoredBranscomb, who has writtenthe show for 22 years. Virchishas directed or co-directed 23of the 24 productions.

Branscomb’s devils and an-gels are masters of disguisewho appear throughout theshepherd’s journey as historicand contemporary characters.His pastorelas have inspiredtheatre companies throughoutthe United States to producetheir own.

Teatro Mascara Magica wasfounded in 1989 to increase theproduction of multicultural the-atre and to provide professionaltheatrical opportunities tounderrepresented segments ofthe population. Another missionof the Teatro is to subsidizeticket prices to make live the-atre affordable to families andthe less affluent. La Pastorelahas been honored by the Na-tional Endowment for the Artsas well as numerous humanrights organizations. TeatroMascara Magica was a recipi-ent of the 2004 San DiegoCounty Multicultural HeritageAward for its leadership inmulticultural theatre.

Molotov sigue levantando la vozPor Pablo J. Sáinz

Agua Maldita, el primerdisco de estudio de la contro-versial banda Molotov desde2007, salió al mercado esteaño, meses antes que el paísazteca de viera envuelto enuna serie de protesta por ladesaparición de 43 estudiantes.

Ya que en el pasado ha sidouna de las bandas más criticasdel gobierno y del estab-lecimiento mexicano, en díasrecientes no han faltado los re-clamos de la gente a Molotov,preguntándole en su cuentaoficial de Facebook porque hanguardado silencio ante lasdesapariciones y violencia enMéxico.

Pero los integrantes deMolotov dan la cara. Durantesus conciertos en Argentinacomo parte de su gira porSudamérica, se pueden verfotos donde los miembros dela banda aluden a los 43desaparecidos.

En un post, en respuesta auna critica, Molotov afirma quenunca han guardado silencioante las injusticias y la realidadsocial mexicana.

“En 2012, justo un mes an-tes de las elecciones lanzamosel documental de Olallo Rubio,gimme the power, mismo quefue exhibido en muy pocassalas de cine pero que estuvosiempre disponible en internet”,

escriben. “Te invito a que loveas y nos digas si siguespensando que nos quedamoscallados”.

En realidad, Molotov nuncase queda callado. Aunque yatenían varios años sin grabardisco nuevo, los Molotovsiempre son recordados porsus canciones de protesta.

En “Voto latino” la bandahabla sobre la fuerza políticade los latinos en Estados Uni-dos; en “Gimme Tha Power”ponen el dedo en la llaga acercade la corrupción en la clase po-lítica mexicana; y en “Frijolero”defienden los derechos de losinmigrantes indocumentados.

Ahora que la banda vendráal The North Park Theatre deSan Diego como parte de suAgua Maldita Navidad Tour,es bueno recordar la entrevistaque Tito Fuentes, vocalista yguitarrista de Molotov, dio a LaPrensa San Diego el añopasado.

“Es un bajón que todo continúeigual que cuando sacamos esasrolas”, indicó. “Seguimos igualde jodidos”.

En su nuevo disco, AguaMaldita, Molotov levanta lavoz en contra de las injusticiasy desigualdad social en rolascomo Lagunas metales y LaRaza.

En noviembre el disco ganóel Latin Grammy a mejor discode rock latino. Aunque han

recibido honores de la críticaoficial, Molotov continua siendoraza, de acuerdo a Fuentes.

La banda estará en otrasciudades de Estados Unidoscomo parte del tour, incluyendoLos Angeles, San Francisco yNueva York.

Ahora que algunos hancriticado a la banda, por lomenos en Facebook, recuerdaque Molotov no es ajeno a lascontroversias.

Desde que se formó en1995 en la Ciudad de México,la banda ha sido censurada ycriticada por lo directo que sonsus letras. Desde la corrupciónpolítica hasta la discriminación,sus rolas son una mezcla decrítica social e irreverenciahacía la autoridad.

Después de casi dos décadassobre el escenario, ocho álbumes,un documental, cuatro LatinGrammy y más de 3 millonesde discos vendidos, Molotovcontinúa siendo una de lasbandas pilares de la ola debandas de protesta que surgióen los 1990.

Agua Maldita, fue producidopor Jason Perry en East WestStudios, en Hollywood, eincluye 10 rolitas.

Molotov continues raising its voice

By Pablo J. Sáinz

Agua Maldita, the first stu-dio album since 2007 by con-troversial Mexican band Molotov,was released earlier this year,months before the Aztec nationwas filled by hundreds of pro-tests denouncing the disap-pearance of 43 college stu-dents.

Since in the past it has beenone of the bands that has criti-cized the Mexican governmentand establishment, in recentdays there have been somecomplains from people directedat Molotov, asking them throughtheir official Facebook pagewhy the band has remainedquiet about the disappearancesand the violence in Mexico.

But Molotov members arenot hiding. During their con-certs in Argentina as part oftheir South American tour, youcan see pictures where bandmembers allude to the 43 dis-appeared students.

In a post, in response to acriticism, Molotov said that ithas not remained in silence re-garding injustice in Mexicansociety.

“In 2012, one month beforethe elections, we released adocumentary, gimme the power,which was screened in a fewmovie theatres, but which wasalways available online,” theywrote. “I invite you to watch itand to tell us if you still thinkwe remain silent.”

In reality, Molotov neverstays quiet. Although it hadn’treleased a new studio album

in years, Molotov is always re-membered by its songs of pro-test.

In “Voto Latino” the bandtalks about the political powerof Latinos in the United States,in “Gimme Tha Power” theyput the nail on the head on cor-ruption in the Mexican politicalclass, and in “Frijolero” the banddefends the rights of undocu-mented immigrants.Now that the band will performat The North Park Theatre inSan Diego as part of its AguaMaldita Navidad Tour, it is per-fect timing to remember an in-terview that Tito Fuentes, vo-calist and guitarist for Molotov,gave La Prensa San Diegolast year.

“It’s a downer that every-thing remains the same aswhen we released the songs,”Fuentes said. “We are stillmessed up.”In their new album, AguaMaldita, Molotov raises its voiceagainst injustices and social in-equality in songs like Lagunasmetales and La Raza.

In November it won theLatin Grammy for best Latinrock album. Although it has re-ceived awards from official

sources, like the Grammy,Molotov is still raza, accordingto Fuentes.

The band will be in otherU.S. cities as part of the tour,including Los Angeles, SanFrancisco, and New York.

Now that the band has re-ceived criticism, at least onFacebook, it reminds us thatMolotov is no stranger to con-troversy. Since forming in 1995in Mexico City, the band hasbeen censored and criticizedfor its strong and direct lyrics.From political corruption to dis-crimination, their songs are amix of social criticism and ir-reverence towards authority.

After nearly 2 decades onstage, 8 albums, a documen-tary, 4 Latin Grammys andover 3 million records sold,Molotov continues to be astrong band of the wave of pro-test bands born in the 1990s.

Agua Maldita, was pro-duced by Jason Perry at EastWest Studios, in Hollywood,and includes 10 songs.

To listen to the singles andto learn more about AguaMaldita Navidad Tour, pleasevisit facebook.com/molotovoficialand aguamaldita.com.mx.

Molotov, one of Mexico’s most controversial bands, will perform at the North ParkTheatre in San Diego on Dec. 8th.

By Nasser KazeminyChairman of the National EthnicCoalition of Organizations

With our personal calendars filled with holi-days that range from religious observances tochildren’s birthdays there is only one day ofthe year that we can all sit down together asone large, diverse family of Americans andcelebrate who we are, where we came fromand why this remains an extraordinary countryof opportunity. Welcome Thanksgiving.

The holiday is particularly important to thefirst generation immigrant. It might not havebeen so very long ago when he or she was in adistant country dreaming of becoming anAmerican citizen. Perhaps it was an economicdecision to immigrate, as so many previousfamilies can attest to. Perhaps it was the threatof religious or political persecution that moti-vated the immigrant to seek the New World.In the end, it doesn’t really matter what thereason was. The fact remains that Americahas been built and sustained by successivewaves of immigrants who have fervently be-lieved that they and their families could becomeanything they wanted to in a nation that of-fered freedom and unlimited opportunity.

This Thanksgiving, in dining rooms and kitch-ens, in sparse apartments or spacious homes,immigrants will gather with their loved ones andfriends. They will confront the turkey and itstraditional side dishes, knowing that while it maybe an exotic dish requiring, for some, an ac-quired taste after years of their own nativecuisine, they will, nevertheless, serve it withpride. By doing so they will be starting a per-sonal tradition that marks their embrace of thisuniquely American holiday and their ownAmerican journey. One suspects they may alsointroduce to the table some traditional dishesfrom their native lands which will only serve toremind us that we are a true melting pot ofcultures and ethnicities.

The holiday also comes at a time when thereis a fierce argument over the President’s deci-sion to seek immigration reform through ex-ecutive order. The anger and vitriol from bothsides threatens to obscure the enormous roleof the American immigrant today, and through-

out the centuries of our nation’s history. Forthose who came here seeking legal entry andeventual citizenship it is a particularly painfuldebate as we can see both sides of the issuequite clearly.

This author came to the United States fromIran in 1969. I had no grand plan. Rather, Ionly had the promise of a job in the emerginginformation technology field with a young familyto support. But I knew, like every hopeful im-migrant around the globe knows, that only inAmerica can success be achieved through hardwork, since, regardless of all our societal prob-lems, it is our work ethic that remains the mostimportant criteria by which we judge our fel-low citizens.

When these new American citizens sit downfor their holiday meal this week, the odds arethey personally locked up their businesses andshops to observe the day. The Fiscal PolicyInstitute (FPI) reports that foreign-born indi-viduals start their own businesses across thenation at more than twice the rate of those bornhere (with the Greek community holding thetop honors in their analysis of which immigrantgroup is most likely to open a small business).In New York, our nation’s most famed meltingpot, the last census data available reveals thatsome 48% of the city’s entrepreneurs wereforeign-born.

All of this is not just a reflection on theseproud, diverse, hardworking American citizens.Rather, it is a celebration of our nation’s spiritand heritage, allowing us all to reflect on thefact that the first Thanksgiving dinner convenedso many centuries ago had at the head of thetable an immigrant who embraced a new startin a new world.

Thanksgiving – an American holiday that holdsspecial significance for every proud immigrant

Por Maribel Hastings

Al anunciar la acción ejecutiva migratoria, elpresidente Barack Obama abre la puerta avarios desarrollos.

Primero, comienza a labrar su complicadolegado en el frente migratorio balanceando surécord de más de dos millones de remocionescon los 5 millones que podría amparar de ladeportación de manera temporal. Obama pareceencaminarse a redimir ante los hispanos suimagen marcada por seis años de deportaciones.

Segundo, ayuda a su Partido Demócrata y,sobre todo, al próximo nominado presidencialdemócrata, pues marca una distinción entredemócratas y republicanos en el manejo deltema migratorio, además de consolidar el apoyodel voto latino al bando demócrata, sufragio cadavez más vital para ganar la Casa Blanca.

Tercero, ha colocado a los republicanos con-tra las cuerdas obligándolos a encarar la luchainterna que por años han librado sobre cómoabordar el tema migratorio, lucha que hastaahora va ganando el bando antiinmigrante.

Obama aún no había firmado la ordenejecutiva en el Air Force One rumbo a LasVegas, Nevada, su primera escala para de-fender su acción ejecutiva migratoria, cuandoel presidente de la Cámara Baja, John Boehner,salió a afirmar lo sabido: los republicanos venla acción de Obama como una declaración deguerra y pelearán como gato boca arriba parabloquear su implementación. Lo que no dicenes cómo lo harán.

Aunque algunas figuras republicanas haninstado a su partido a reaccionar con mesura alas acciones migratorias de Obama para noseguir hundiendo a este partido entre losvotantes latinos, las peticiones han caído enoídos sordos.

Boehner no pudo responder ni siquiera quéhará la Cámara Baja para bloquear las medidasindicando solamente que están analizando susalternativas, pero tampoco dijo por qué losrepublicanos no impulsaron una reforma por lavía legislativa.

Pasemos revista por un poco de su historia.Ciertamente los demócratas controlaron

ambas cámaras del Congreso en 2009 y 2010y optaron por impulsar, junto a la Casa Blanca,la reforma sanitaria y no la migratoria. Eso yase sabe, pero ya pasó. Alguien, por favor, debedecirle a los republicanos que actualicen el talk-ing point. Ya no es efectivo porque en junio de

2013 el Senado aprobó un proyecto de reformamigratoria amplia, el S.744, lo envió a la CámaraBaja hace 18 meses, y el liderazgo republicano,encabezado por Boehner, decidió ignorarlo perotampoco permitió que se presentara una versiónrepublicana o bipartidista que pudiera conciliarsecon el proyecto del Senado.

Su estrategia fue dejar la reforma migratoriaagonizar y morir, pensando que las amenazasde Obama de acción ejecutiva serían sólo eso,amenazas, y que de algún modo el PartidoRepublicano podría capitalizar en las promesasincumplidas del presidente para atraer así avotantes latinos desafectos sin levantar un dedoy sólo ir cambiando el tono de su retóricaantiinmigrante.

Pero Obama actuó y las acciones ejecutivasson legales por estatuto y por precedentes: en60 años 11 presidentes, republicanos ydemócratas, han girado 39 órdenes migratoriasdiferentes.

Boehner y los republicanos deberían dejarde lloriquear y si quieren eliminar las órdenesejecutivas, pues que legislen. Les quedan unosdías en esta sesión próxima a concluir, y si nopueden, a partir de enero controlarán ambascámaras del Congreso. Si no les parece queObama gire órdenes ejecutivas para hacer eltrabajo que ellos no han hecho, que presenten,debatan y aprueben un proyecto, pero uno quede verdad aborde qué hacer con los 11 millonesde indocumentados.

No lo hacen porque no tienen nada quepresentar, ni siquiera las medidas individualesque dicen apoyar y que Obama, en su momento,les dijo que estaba bien, que lo hacían paso apaso y no de forma integral. Y no pueden porquecualquier solución para los 11 millones levantaen armas a su sector más antiinmigrante quefinalmente es el que siempre los define antelos votantes latinos.

Los republicanos saben que requieren cuandomenos 40% del voto latino para ganar la CasaBlanca, no el 27% que obtuvieron en 2012 consu propuesta de autodeportación, y la formaen que manejen esta nueva etapa del debatemigratorio terminará de definirlos ante el votolatino.

Pero por ahora, de cara a las presidencialesde 2016, Obama ha puesto en jaque a losrepublicanos.

Obama pone en jaque a los republicanos

By Darryl Lorenzo Wellington

Every year, I volunteer to serve the Thanks-giving meal at a homeless shelter. And everyyear, I recognize that providing a Thanksgivingfeast can’t replace long-term solutions tohomelessness.

Every year, I see too many of the same faces— families and individuals still on waiting listsfor subsidized housing.

And this year, I’m appalled that so manymajor cities have enacted laws regarding thehomeless that are anything but in the holidayspirit.

Recently, a 90-year-old World War II vet-eran and homeless advocate, Arnold Abbott,was arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., for thehumanitarian gesture of feeding the homeless.

“Feeding bans,” which prohibit sharing foodon public property, are not uncommon: About70 cities in America have enacted them.

Instead of ignoring, or continually criminalizinghomelessness we need to make a concertedeffort to drastically reduce it. And it can bedone.

First, we need to bolster programs that helpstruggling homebuyers and renters, such asSection 8.

Second, we need to enact rent control laws,which stabilize the household burden and stop

vulnerable working Americans from becominghomeless.

Third, we need to reduce the waiting timefor subsidized housing. The National Coalitionfor Subsidized Housing reports that rental as-sistance applicants have an average wait timeof two years. Many can’t hold out that long.

And finally, we need to reject the stereotypesof the homeless as alcoholic, mentally ill, orweak-willed. One of every four of the adulthomeless population is a veteran. Are we re-ally so cynical that we would call our country’sveterans weak-willed or lazy?

For those who are addicted to drugs or alco-hol, they will never end their cycle of addictionuntil they, too, achieve stability. A home is themost basic unit of a secure environment. Littleprogress in drug treatment is possible whileaddicts remain on the street or in temporaryshelter environments.

This Thanksgiving, I will again help serve upa bountiful feast at a local homeless shelter.

But by next Thanksgiving, I hope we’ll havemore humane policies in place — from themunicipal to the federal level — for those whoso desperately need a home.

This Holiday Season, We Should Focus onHomelessness

That a NO indictment camedown in Ferguson, Missouri,does not really come as a sur-prise! When was the last time

anyone can remember when a white po-lice officer has ever been indicted forkilling a black man or a Hispanic? Offthe top of our heads we can’t think ofone time.

St. Louis County Prosecuting AttorneyRobert P. McCulloch went to greatlengths and details to explain the reason-ing for the Grand Jury’s decision to comeback with a NO indictment. But it is stilldifficult to get our minds around whatthe reason was for a police officer toshoot and kill an unarmed young mansupposedly over a handful of cigarillos!

As the Prosecuting Attorney wentthrough his explanation it wasn’t hard tosee how a Grand Jury could arrive at thisconclusion. The rules of the game are cre-ated by those in power and in regards tothe police it bends over backwards to pro-tect and shield the police. The Grand Jury,following those rules and parameters, didnot have enough evidence to indict. Yetthis is a human being, a young man whowas unarmed and until proven guilty wasonly a suspect in the crime of snatchingthose cigarillos. Now he is dead.

Where is the justice in this? Where isthe accountability?

Why does the NO indictment not sur-prise our community? All we have to dois look at the Anastasio HernandezRojas, case of May 2010 when Rojas washandcuffed, beaten while laying helplesson the ground and tasered to death withapproximately 20 Border Patrol agentseither participating are standing andwatching. Even though all this was cap-

tured on video tape and a Grand Jury in-vestigation was convened, nothing hap-pened. This case has gone to a civil trial.Unfortunatley This is not an isolated in-cident.

Police departments have always beeninstruments of oppression against minor-ity communities, again you just have tolook to Escondido where the police wereused to harass and intimidate the His-panic community with their police checkpoints. So yes minority communities areangry and frustrated when the Grand Juryin Ferguson was unable to indict. Themessage is clear that the brutality and op-pression experienced by so-called mi-nority communities in the U.S. will con-tinue unabated.

President Obama in his message to thepeople following the Grand Jury an-nouncement stated that the countryshould use this opportunity to raise thelevel of conversation on the issue ofpolicing in black and Latino communi-ties. The President needs to understandthat minority communities have tried toraise the level of conversation on thisvery issue but their words have fallen ondeaf ears and are TIRED, and want an endto police brutality!

Will the shooting of Michael Brown,the Grand Jury announcement, and sub-sequent protest change anything, onlytime will tell!

If history tells us anything, nothingmuch will change. Members of the mi-nority communities do not make therules and and until we attain the social,political, and economic power, the kill-ing of Michael Brown will become noth-ing more than a sad chapter in Americanhistory.

No Indictment, No Justice!


¡ASK A MEXICAN!By Gustavo Arellano

Dear Mexican: I was reading thecomments (BIG MISTAKE) on anarticle I recently read regarding St.Charles, Missouri adopting Arizona-style immigration Law. I wasSHOCKED at the amount of peoplewho support this law and my question toyou is: why can’t people see the badimplications of that law? What are we:World War II Germany, where we needto show our papers? I’m outraged thatin this day and age, there are so manyfolks racist against Mexicans. I’vemade people very angry by standingagainst the immigration law, or theracial profiling of Mexicans. How is itthat people can stand against raciallyprofiling black Americans, and FULLYsupport the profiling of Mexicans? Andthey refuse to believe they are racists.HELP ME—please give me a goodpoint of debate for these people whohonestly believe that show-me-your-paper laws are lawful. I’ve tried tomake them understand that STATEPOLICE do not have the legal right tobe IMMIGRATION POLICE. Thatargument does not work. They say thatI MUST be an illegal immigrant or I amharboring one, because I don’t agreewith the Arizona law/racial profiling.

Necesito Ayuda en St. Louis

Dear I Need Help in St. Louis: Somepoints to start. Until gabachos start forcingall Mexicans to wear sombreros to moreeasily identify them, it’s insulting to compareany anti-Mexican laws to what Jews had toendure in Nazi Germany. Simply put:deportation isn’t genocide, no matter howmuch some yaktivists claim. Also, peoplewho are opposed to racial profiling of oneethnicity tend to be opposed to racialprofiling of EVERYONE, mostly becauseracial profiling is a bola de mierda. Finally,tell those Know Nothings you argue aboutthat the Constitution makes distinctionbetween state and federal powers, and onlythe feds have authority over immigration.Sure, some local jurisdictions have tried to

Commentary/Opinion Page

By Marian Wright Edelman

In a season focused on gratitude, 17-year-old Monica Chica has an attitude about choos-ing to be grateful that’s wise far beyond heryears: “The most important lesson I learned isthat being happy is not about having with youwhat you loved in the past, but learning to lovewhat you have in the present.”

Monica learned this lesson the hard way.She grew up in El Salvador where her fatherwas a lawyer and teacher and her mother wasa doctor. Monica’s mother suffered fromGuillain-Barré Syndrome, a nervous systemdisorder which caused her a lot of weaknessand pain. The disease often left her bedriddenand kept her from playing an active role in thefamily’s daily routines. Monica was grateful tohave her at home and had lots of other sup-port. The school just across the street fromher house where she was a star student, thebeloved church where she started teachingSunday school at age 9, and her best friend’shouse a block away were the center ofMonica’s childhood. As pervasive gang vio-lence began striking closer and closer to home,when Monica was 15 her family decided toleave everything behind to try to start a betterlife in the United States.

Almost immediately, the American Dreamwasn’t what they’d expected. Monica, herparents, and her older brother and sister movedin with an aunt and other family members inMontgomery County, Maryland. Monica—whoonly knew a few words in English—was en-rolled in a large high school where even otherHispanic students teased her about her accent.For the first six months she avoided speakingin school at all. Her aunt had worked for yearsto secure legal residency for Monica’s family.But her father discovered that being a lawyerand a teacher in El Salvador did not translateinto a good job here. It took more than a yearfor him to find a job as a janitor. Her mother’shealth took another turn for the worse and therewasn’t enough money for the health care ormedicine she needed. Before long her parentsdecided to separate and her mother and brotherreturned to El Salvador leaving Monica hope-less: “Everything that I had left was my familyand now it was destroyed. In less than oneyear my life had turned meaningless and worth-less for me.”

In an unexpected twist a sport Monica hadnever played before was about to help turn hernew world around. Monica is 6’3", and wordtraveled to the girls’ basketball coach about thenew student in school. “I was in my ESL [En-glish as a Second Language] class, and thecoach got close to me, and I was like, ‘Why isa tall woman talking to me? I don’t understandanything of what she’s saying.’ . . . I just toldher that I didn’t speak English [and] that I hadnever played basketball before. And she said,‘I don’t mind. I’m going to teach you. If youwant to, you can try.’” Somehow, Monica

agreed. “At the beginning it was hard becauseI didn’t know what side of the court I was sup-posed to run—I just knew that I had to throwthe ball to the basket. That was it. I didn’t knowthe rules. I didn’t know why the referee waswhistling. I didn’t know anything. But I wentto practices. I started playing. I started prac-ticing [on] my own because I really liked it . . .I don’t know how, but I did it, and that gave memore confidence in myself.”

Being part of the team also gave her a newset of friends and a lot more practice learningto speak to and understand her teammates, andher growing confidence on the basketball courttranslated to more confidence in the classroom.As her English improved she was moved outof her ESL classes into regular ones and thenfrom regular classes into honors courses. To-day, less than two years after beginning schoolin Maryland, she has taken Advanced Place-ment and International Baccalaureate coursesand has a 4.0 grade point average. She’s alsoa starter on the varsity basketball team. Shewas recently honored with one of the Children’sDefense Fund’s Beat the Odds Awards for howmuch she has overcome.

Monica is giving back to others. Her favor-ite service activity is directing the children’sministry at her church and she’s helped otheryoung immigrants, including some of the chil-dren who arrived fleeing violence in CentralAmerica this past summer. “I feel thankful toGod to have my residency and everything, butI also try to help people, because I think beingin English as a Second Language helped meunderstand and meet people that were goingthrough and struggling with the same things Iwas . . . I might not understand the whole thingabout being an immigrant, but I understand partof it, which is getting used to a new country, anew language, new friends. So every time Isee people that are coming, I try to help them.I try to encourage them not to drop out of school,to keep going, to continue studying, to do theirbest.”

Despite all her challenges, Monica sees ahappy future for herself and shares more aboutwhat she’s learned about thankfulness: “Maybemy family is not going to be back together again,or my life is not going to be the same again, butif I only thought about that I would be grumpythe whole time . . . I have to learn how to lovewhat I have right now, and the blessings I haveright now. . . It’s important to know how tolove, because if you don’t love, you’re nothappy.”

Learning to Love What You Haveplay migra, oropenly collaboratewith migra—butcourts time and timeagain have struckdown such lawsbecause Constitution.Do these KnowNothings REALLY want to expand federalpowers? They always cry no, but they’remore than happy if it means harassingMexicans. So once you get them to admitthat, just make the note that they’re nobetter than Obama—and watch them writhelike the culeros they are for comparing themto a negrito.

I’ve been dating a Mexican man for ayear now and am madly in love, claro.His excuse for everything is “I’mMexican”—which, as you know, meansthat he works harder than anyone else,has bigger balls than any other male onthe planet, and is so virile he canimpregnate a woman just by blowing onher. What I don’t understand is that herarely uses my name and I’ve noticedthat seems to be a Mexican thing. I lovebeing called chiquita bonita, but as faras I know all of his friends are namedvato, puto, or güey. What gives? Also,he has started calling me cabrona buthe’s using it in a nice way—and I’mconfused. Please help this lovinggabachita to understand her hombre.

Mamacita Chiquita Bonita

Dear Gabacha: Mexican men not callingeach other by their given name is a workingclass trait, like the Southern “son,” African-American “man,” and the bro “bro.” Theonly Mexican twist we give to nicknames iscalling people El (Insert Nickname)—ElBarbie, El Gordo, El Chiquidracula, ElKennedy, etc. But that’s another question—and I’m out of space for this semana!

dólares en “ayudar al movimiento” yprácticamente no ayudaron a nadie. Ytambién cínicamente, así lo reconoce FrankSherry, director de La Voz de América, otraorganización que recibió algunos milloncitosde dólares: “Con todo y lo que hicimos,siempre fuimos una coalición a medias y nosderrotaron completamente”.Masas Contra Lana

El dinero comenzó a caerles en 2007, alaño siguiente de las marchas masivas en lasque ninguna de estas organizacionesprácticamente participó y que ningunaorganizó. De hecho, algunas ni existían yfueron creadas solamente para agarrar lalana. De hecho, uno de los requisitos de losdonantes era que “redoblaran suorganización comunitaria”, reconociendo porprincipio que esta no existía. Otro requisitoera “ampliar la participación electoral”. Lameta final, completamente fracasada, eralograr la aprobación de una “legalizaciónpara 11 millones de personas con un caminoa la ciudadanía”.

La Fundación Ford puso 80 millones, laCarnegie otros 100 millones de dólares parael “esfuerzo”; la Sociedad Abierta 76millones, y la Atlantic se cayó con 69millones, sobre todo para hacer “cabildeo”.

La única movilización grande de todasestas organizaciones fue la manifestación enWashington en marzo de 2010, en la queBarack Obama tuvo un legar preferente (en

video, claro), y que no logró nada más queotra promesa presidencial. Después de eso,algunas organizaciones se dedicaron asolamente tratar de lograr que se aprobara laDREAM Act, y otras a reclutar grandescompañías, como Facebook, en favor de la“reforma”. Con todos sus millones,fracasaron otra vez con la horrendapropuesta del 2013 que solamente el Senadoaprobó, afortunadamente, porque a cambiode la legalización de algunos inmigrantes,criminalizaba a los que no cumplieran losrequisitos.Afortunadamente, los jóvenes “dreamers”,sin lana de por medio, lograron con susacciones de desobediencia civil que Obamales concediera DACA, su estatus legaltemporal. Claro, al año siguiente United WeDream recibió 2 millones de dólares de laFundación Ford, y desde entonces no hanhecho casi nada de ese estilo, pero en fin.

El punto de toda la historia, es que condinero baila el perro, pero el dinero nonecesariamente muerde cuando se invierteen algunos proyectos.

El mérito por la acción ejecutiva de Obamadebe ir a ésos líderes que no se sientan conlos políticos sino que todos los días se sientancon los inmigrantes, en las comunidades, enlas calles, en los lugares de trabajo; a losjóvenes que desobedecieron las leyes ydesafiaron al sistema, y a los votantes queentendieron que su voto no debía ir a lospolíticos de siempre. Con lana y sin lana,como dice el dicho, La Lucha Continúa…

of the issues raised by Fong and other N20activists. Looking a sprightly 80 years of age,Cardenas delivered a condensed but insightfulhistory on a topic with which he has a deeppersonal connection: Mexican oil. Thepolitician’s father, President Lazaro Car-denas,oversaw the expropriation of Mexico’s petro-leum resources from foreign companies in1938.

In more recent times, the oil industry hasbeen punctuated by state corruption, ganglandinfiltration and looting, incidents of violence, andenvironmental destruction.

A leading critic of the energy reform craftedby the Pena Nieto administration and approvedby the Mexican Congress, the co-founder ofthe PRD party outlined the different historicalstages of the Mexican oil industry-from unionand government conflicts with foreign compa-nies to creeping privatization- and brought itup to contemporary times when revenue frompetroleum sales has accounted for up to 40percent of the federal government’s income-essential money for public schools, hospitals,roads and more.

But after offering a mathematical analysisof national consumption patterns versus pro-jected production numbers from the energyreform, Cardenas contended that most of thenew resources expected to be tapped will goabroad and not benefit Mexico. “We have anenormous risk of a premature depletion of theresources,” he said.

The three-time presidential candidate and“moral leader of the PRD” also took a swipeat a state institution where a key test of de-mocracy was just conducted and failed, ac-cording to Cardenas and other critics. The one-time governor of Michoacan state asserted thatthe Mexican Supreme Court had brought “dis-credit” to itself by ruling against proposals toforce a popular referendum on the Pena Nietoadministration’s energy reform.

In the coming months, the oil controversycould resurface as another volatile ingredientin a political scene heated up by the Ayotzinapaevents, especially with less oil revenues gush-ing into a government coffers as a result ofdeclining international prices while stagnantwages, inflation tipping above four percent andlaggard growth well below previous predictionsfor 2014 add extra pressures to the Mexicanpowder keg.

In Ciudad Juarez and elsewhere in Mexico,the new citizen movement rising out of the re-pression against the Ayotizinapa students in-tends to move ahead in its bid for sweepingnational changes.

According to the latest information postedon the University Assembly of Ciudad Juarez’sweb page, events for the coming week includea meeting analyzing N20, a lecture by histo-rian Massimo Modonesi on “Regime Crisis inMexico” and a protest by high school students.

In her remarks at the UACJ, the mother ofIdali Juache Laguna, a young woman who dis-appeared on the streets of Juarez in 2010 andwas later identified as one of multiple femalemurder victims recovered from a burial groundin the Juarez Valley, said the families of the 43missing students and local families suffer allthe same. Norma Laguna made a public ap-peal for broad unity.

“The union is what makes us strong,” La-guna said. “With a united people, we can endthe impunity that exists in the three levels ofgovernment.”

Quality Starts on the Farm

Darrell Glaser, a sixth-generation farmer from Texas, along with his mother, Jeannette, and wife, Shannon, started raising turkeys more than 20 years ago. Today, his four sons also help on the family’s farm.

“We do everything we can to produce a quality product that other families would be comfortable eating during theholidays,” Glaser said.

Glaser, who has raised nearly 14 million turkeys, says thisstarts with keeping the birds healthy and comfortable.

“We take really good care to ensure the environment is justright for our turkeys. This includes keeping the floors of ourbarns dry and making sure the birds have plenty of fresh airand good quality water and feed,” Glaser said.

Glaser says if turkeys are happy and comfortable, they aregenerally healthy, which reduces the need to prescribemedicine, like antibiotics.

Glaser and his family are one of more than 700 independentfarm families who are raising turkeys for Honeysuckle Whitewithout using growth-promoting antibiotics.

“We feed America and want to provide a quality foodsource for our customers,” Glaser said. “With consumers moreconcerned about their food, if we can produce wholesometurkey without growth-promoting antibiotics, then we should.”
