20,000 and Zack de la Rocha March Against Arpaio

On January 16 the masses gathered in Phoenix to march for human rights and demand action from the Obama administration to stop the abuses by Sheriff Joe Arpaio . The momentum towards change is getting stronger. Mi video is heavy on poetic aesthetic and light on news info., so if you need to get educated on the matter I suggest... http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/arpaiohttp://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/bastard/ and info. on the movement is here... http://puenteaz.org/ and of course mas to come on my end soon, but until then Zack's palabras will do just fine for now. P@z.

Video Postcard to OBAMA (abridged)

VideoObama.mp4

Here it is! Our Video Postcard to OBAMA (much shorter of course). On January 17th this year we had a great event over at Pan Left to celebrate Obama's inauguration and there was almost 2 and 1/2 hours of footage! This version I managed to whittle down to 5 and 1/2 minutes so you all can see some of what everyone had to say. We'll send the Prez both versions cut and un-cut on the DVD. Thanks for everyone who came out! We'll see how the next 4 years go.

Si Se Puede, Say NO to STRIVE

Si Se Puede, Say No to STRIVE.m4v

The STRIVE Act is an immigration bill that has been introduced into Congress as of Spring 2007. It's a bill that is being promoted as bipartisan immigration reform, but has created worry for many in immigrant and border communities if it passes. During the Cesar Chavez march in Tucson, people came together to stand against STRIVE and educate others of its harm.
