[ACLU-NM] Volunteer for the ACLU Legal Observer Project

[Kimberly Lavender]

The Minutemen will begin patrolling this Saturday so 
we will be out observing their activities.  If you are interested in 
volunteering this weekend, please contact us at 915-532-0921 or meet 
at the Farmworker's Center in El Paso (210 E. Ninth Ave.) at 12pm.   
We will have a training for those who have not yet received the 
training.  There will be a group heading out towards the Fabens/Ft. 
Hancock area and another towards Columbus/Hachita in NM.

Thank you,
Claudia Guevara
 

"Undocumented: The Other Side of the Minuteman Project"   

This film will screen at the Albuquerque Guild Cinema in Nob Hill on
Saturday October 1 and October 15 from noon to 1:30 p.m. 

New film documents how communities are standing up to vigilante patrols
in the Mexico-U.S. border region.  During April 2005 the American Civil
Liberties Union of Arizona and the American Friends Service Committee of
Arizona joined forces to train 'legal observers' for the Minuteman
Project. The Minuteman Project was founded on the precept that people of
color are 'destroying' our society and the 'invasion' from the south
will result in the destruction of the United States of America. This
documentary contains detailed footage from patrols last April.  Legal
Observing is currently under way in California and will begin in New
Mexico and Texas during the month of October.
