FESTIVAL DE RESISTENCIA
Wednesday September 21, 2011
7:00 PM to 12:00 AM
W. Grant and S. 2nd Ave, Phoenix, AZ.
Featuring Global Music Artist
Manu Chao
What: Press Conference announcing “Festival de Resistencia”
Where: TONATIERRA, 802 N. 7th Street
When: 10:30am, Thursday, September 15
Who: Comités de Defensa del Barrio and TONATIERRA
Phoenix, AZ – Manu Chao, internationally renowned global music artist will perform on Wednesday, September 21 in solidarity with the Comités de Defensa del Barrio (CDBs) and other organizations from Arizona and across the country that have been fighting against the policies of state sanctioned racial profiling and discrimination such as AZ SB1070, the Secure Communities program of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), and the federal 287(g) program.
The National Day Labor Organizing Network (NDLON) and other allied organizations including Alto Arizona and TONATIERRA will join with the CDBs to celebrate the movement of community resistance over the past year which brought over 100,000 people to march in Arizona against SB1070 last May 29, 2010. The CDBs are now actively organizing at the grass roots and regional levels to implement a series of boycott actions against the financial supporters of the policies of persecution and racial profiling resulting from the immoral collusion between private prison industry lobby groups with ties to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and state legislators across the country.
SB1070 was crafted in the bowels of ALEC and then imported into the Arizona State legislature by Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce.
On Wednesday, September 21 during the Festival de Resistencia, the Boycott Commission of the CDBs will conduct a COMMUNITY CONSULTATION to identify the priority targets for the ongoing La Huelga del Pueblo – Boycott of Arizona, calling for transparency and accountability for the economic interests that have been profiteering through contracts with the private prison industry in cahoots with law enforcement personalities and financial institutions across the state.
The Festival de Resistencia is being organized as a family focused event of celebration of the fight for Civil Rights, Human Rights, Indigenous Rights and the Rights of Mother Earth. The festival is will be free of charge. It will be an alcohol and drug free event, and a peaceful celebration of the Spirit of Resistance, Rebellion and Regeneration.

PRINCIPLES:
Tradition and Liberation
The Legend of TENAMAZTLE: Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, Huitzilopochtli
The violations and evidence that were submitted, the interference, every pain that was mentioned by Elders, every testimony of the violation of our Mother Earth from where all this life comes from. The second charge: It was forced. It’s forced. It’s assault. It’s usurpation of jurisdiction that is then transcribed into what they call a legal system. The evidence was submitted under the international law, under treaty obligation as understood by the First Nations, the Peoples of the First Nations-“itzachitlakame” – it is sufficient to proceed. We concur with the findings of our fellow judges to advance these proceedings to the next stage of testimony, witness, finding and judgment. And we would also state that under the power of enforcement that we direct this message to be carried to the present and future generations of Origin-Nations of the four directions of the Great Turtle Island. And their powers are now powers of Memory, of Intelligence and Will that we may undertake the remedy in our daily walk and in our dreams. First Nations International Court of Justice, Algonquin Territories [Ottawa, Canada] April 1996; Judge Tupac Enrique Acosta, Izkalotlan Pueblo
The Treaty of Teotihuacan:
The TREATY OF TEOTIHUACAN is a mutual commitment among the Nations, Pueblos, and organizations of Indigenous Peoples at the continental level, empowered by the Jurisprudence of Indigenous International Law in four aspects: Spiritual Alliance, Political Solidarity, Cultural Complementarity, and POCHTECAYOTL – Economic and Commercial Agreements of Exchange.

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.

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.
