Civil Disobedience and Demonstrations to End Criminalization of Immigrant Communities
On May 29, 2010 Enlace Staff, Daniel Carrillo, participated in a National Day of Action against SB1070 along with other people from California and many other states who converged in Phoenix, AZ. The action was organized by NDLON and Puente and was a huge success with over 100,000 people marching to the State Capitol. Please visit AltoArizona.com for more information about upcoming actions.
On May 6, 2010 Enlace Staff, Daniel Carrillo, participated in a civil disobedience along with 13 other community members demanding an end to enforcement of racist immigration enforcement laws and an end to the criminalization of immigrant and people of color communities. The demonstration took place in front of the Federal Building and Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles; protestors shut down operations in both buildings for over five hours. Alameda, a six lane road, was closed for over five hours as a result, causing traffic jams. The action was in response to the ongoing increase of racist unjust immigration enforcement laws, like SB 1070, 287G, and Secure Communities.

Tlokenawake is a precept in Nahuatl that guides and inspires Daniel, a Los Angeles-based activist and all-around humanist. “It means loving others unconditionally. We have an obligation to take care of each other,” he told me on a Tuesday afternoon while I sipped coffee and he tamed dragons with his words. “For the world to be balanced, for a human being not to be less than human in the eyes of another, we must struggle with pride, dignity, and love, and take risks for the well being of all.”
Make Wall Street Pay Campaign
At the beginning of 2009, our Immigrant Inclusion Project evolved into a new campaign – Make Wall Street Pay. Our goal has been to shift public debate on the economic crisis from ignoring the needs of immigrants and people of color (and in fact justifying the increasing right-wing racist attacks on them) to the source: the international financial institutions which caused the current crisis in the U.S., Mexico, and worldwide as well as the mid-1990s takeover of Mexican banks that resulted in families losing homes and businesses and decimated the social infrastructure, leading to the subsequent massive wave of migration by economic refugees to the U.S.
10/28 Successful Actions against JP Morgan Chase!
On Wednesday October 28 the actions against JP Morgan Chase in Seattle, Portland, and Bend, Oregon, were a success. Some members of the public told us they would close their accounts. JP Morgan Chase and its cohorts are the real cause of the financial crisis we’re in. We are demanding that our states adopt legislation to charge a fee to recipients of more than 1 billion dollars in tax-free federal subsidies within their jurisdictions and use the proceeds for public health services.
