Protest at NW Detention Center, Tacoma Sat. 12/9


Melt I.C.E.!

Peaceful Protest and Vigil for Human Rights

2-4pm, Sat. December 9

Northwest Detention Center

1623 E. J Street - Tacoma, WA

Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents continue to
terrorize immigrant communities in Washington State and across the
country with
increasingly militaristic raids, armed arrests, covert detentions and
deportations. We ask that you join us in protest of these aggressive
enforcement tactics and violations of our neighbors' civil and human
rights. Many of our friends and neighbors are being held in the
privately-run Northwest Detention Center, we want to show them and
our community that we do not condone I.C.E.'s terrorist actions
against hard working immigrants.

Update on December 7th Day of Solidarity

> Update on December 7:
> An International Day of Solidarity with Green Scare Indictees,
> Detainees, and Political Prisoners
>
> The term Green Scare refers to the Red Scares of the early twentieth
> century, made famous by the McCarthy hearings and the House Un-American
> Activities Committee. The Green Scare demonstrates a similar systematic
> criminalization of dissent as the U.S. government is using all its tactics
> (e.g., grand juries, specialized legislation, paid agents provocateurs) to
> target the radical environmental and animal rights movements, those who
> publicly support them, and others who struggle for a healthy, diverse
> eco-system and the rights of animals.
>
> On December 7th, 2005, the FBI made their first arrests of "Operation
> Backfire," a multi-state sweep targeting alleged Earth Liberation and
> Animal Liberation Front activists with charges of conspiracy and arson
> threatening them with life in prison. Elsewhere, the government has
> convicted organizers of the Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) campaign
> - a campaign that ultimately kept Huntingdon off the stock market and can
> take credit for the divestment of hundreds of their clients and investors.
> The SHAC 7 are currently serving up to 6 years for violating the "Animal
> Enterprise Protection Act" by operating a website. In Sacramento, Eric
> McDavid, waiting in solitary confinement for trial, faces up to 20 years
> for alleged thought crime. In 2001, Jeff "Free" Luers was convicted of
> damaging 3 Sports Utility Vehicles that were later restored and sold. He
> is currently serving his 6th year of a 22 year, 8 month sentence.
>
> This year, on December 7, people all over the world will be organizing and
> participating in events to raise awareness about the Green Scare and show
> solidarity with those targeted by it. Please organize an event in your
> area to support Green Scare Indictees and political prisoners.
>
> So far, we have 42 events confirmed in 29 cities! And more on the way!
>
> If your city isn’t listed below, act now and its not too late to organize
> an event for December 7th! To get ideas or support, please go to
> GreenScare.org. Remember, everything you do to support people who are
> targets of prosecution should be LEGAL and in their best interest. Many
> are in pre-trial or in an appeal process; please do not organize something
> that could jeopardize their cases. Further, if you are organizing events
> specific to targeted individuals, please contact their support committees
> before organizing rallies or fundraisers. You can find their contact
> information here or by emailing us. To let us know what events you have
> planned, please email us at greenscare@mutualaid.org. Thanks to everyone
> who is organizing against the Green Scare!

Oaxaca Calls to Action - please repost]

December 1, 2006 - Oaxaca is under siege. More than 140 people were
arrested November 23rd through 25th and three were killed. The repression
has reached new heights, with disappearances occuring daily. The Federal
Police (PFP) are deploying special operation units to crush the popular
uprising, and have issued statements declaring that they will do whatever
it takes to put an end to the movement by December 1st, when the new
government takes power.

APPO, the popular assembly of the peoples of Oaxaca, has issued a call for
solidarity demonstrations on December 1st. International attention and
pressure is desperately needed.
