On January 25, 2008, the Pima County Republican Women's Club invited to speak at their luncheon the Sheriff of Maricopa County, Joe Arpaio. Sheriff Joe is the self-described "toughest sheriff in the nation" and is widely known for his controversial enforcement strategies that have cost Maricopa County over 41 million dollars in lawsuits for civil rights violations, as well as his hard line against undocumented migrants.

This video depicts that morning when Tucson activists came out to let Arpaio and the Women's Club know that he was not welcome in Tucson, and neither are his policies.

This is the fourth installment of a new podcast consisting of the different sections of "On The Edge: The Femicide in Ciudad Juarez", a film I finished in 2006. Every Monday for the next several weeks I will post another section of the film. (To subscribe to the podcast, click here.)

This section is about the practice of the police torturing innocents in order to find scapegoats for the murders (Note: since the completion of the film, new developments in this situation have resulted in the release of several of these tortured and imprisoned people, thanks in large part to the efforts of activists, in Mexico and internationals.) The next section, available next week, concerns corruption, on all levels and on both sides of the border.

This is the third installment of a new podcast consisting of the different sections of "On The Edge: The Femicide in Ciudad Juarez", a film I finished in 2006. This is the first time the entire film will be viewable online. Every Monday for the next several weeks I will post another section of the film. (To subscribe to the podcast, click here.)

This section is about neglect on the part of police and other authorities in Juarez, the state of Chihuahua, and the Mexican federal government. The next section, available next week, concerns the police torturing innocents who are falsely accused of the murders.
