CRUDE

THE REAL PRICE OF OIL

In the Amazon jungle of Ecuador, 30,000 indigenous peoples are negatively impacted by Texaco/Chevron and their actions.  This oil company spent three decades systematically contaminating one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, poisoning the water, air and land. The pollution has created a “death zone” in an area the size of the Rhode Island, resulting in increased rates of cancer, leukemia, birth defects, and a multiplicity of other health ailments. The oil operations in the region contributed to the destruction of indigenous peoples and irrevocably impacted their traditional way of life.  CRUDE tells the story of this real life struggle for survival.

Indigenous Peoples Day – Nican Tlacah Ilhuitl – Tlahtokan Abya Yala

_________________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________

The time has come to once again take the streets and stand up against hate! Twice in the past year we have stood up with resounding response and results. After our two previous five thousand plus people actions: First, investigations from the US Justice Department and FBI were started.  Second, congressional hearings were hosted and the entire nation now knows of Joe Arpaio and his constant abuse of human rights. We have all succeeded in bringing to the forefront the atrocities that the 287g and ICE Access programs bring to our communities, now we must unite to stop their abuse.

At this time we are making an urgent national call for all peoples concerned and engaged in changing the course of hate in this country to join us January 16th 2009 in Phoenix Arizona. It is time, just like Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement took the streets of Montgomery Alabama that at that time was the epicenter of hate; we must do the same in Phoenix. This date is significant because it marks one year of the Obama administration that has resulted in the continuation and expansion of the anti-immigrant Bush policies. It is also the weekend we celebrate Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement struggles of the 60’s. Once again we are at a crossroads when people from our communities are being used and treated unequally.

Unfortunately fear and injustice remain prevalent in Maricopa County,  not much has changed as Joe Arpaio and his Sheriff Deputies continue to terrorize the streets of Maricopa County and continues his physical abuse in the jails with the 287(g) agreement. Racial profiling by city, county and state law enforcement is rampant. The state of Arizona continues to racially profile under the guise of implementing anti-migratory worker and smuggling laws.
Knowing justice is on our side we must unite and face terror with valiant actions toward eliminating inequalities and hate from our midst.
