Friends,
Help protect immigrants by monitoring.
The New England Immigrant & Detainee Response Network is (among other
things) conducting a program to place human rights monitors
outside the JFK Federal Building during the INS (now Homeland
Security) "Special Registration" in an effort to help immigrants who
may be detained. We need the help of every supporter of human rights
and civil liberties.
If you can help monitor, please let me know (smcooper@attbi.com).
We'll "train" you (it's very simple) on the spot. We need folks as
follows:
Thurs 4/17 -- any significant blocks of time between 10:30 and 4:00
p.m. (these "3rd shifts" are not at all labor-intensive, and are
ideal for anyone with studying to do or a good book to read who
doesn't mind the occasional interruption of having to retrieve a
numbered card)
Fri 4/18 -- 6:30-8:30 AM; 8:30-10:30 AM; 10:30 on
Mon 4/21 -- 6:30-8:30 AM; 8:30-10:30 AM; 10:30 on
Tues 4/22 -- 6:30-8:30 AM; 8:30-10:30 AM; 10:30 on
Weds 4/23 -- 6:30-8:30 AM; 8:30-10:30 AM; 10:30 on
Thurs 4/24 -- 6:30-8:30 AM; 8:30-10:30 AM
Fri 4/25 -- 6:30-8:30 AM; 8:30-10:30 AM; 10:30 on
This is important work, and it bothers the Homeland Security folks
that U.S. citizens are showing their solidarity around the country by
engaging in this activity. That alone should be reason enough to spur
you to action. We can't let the enemies of civil liberties and human
rights get away with their dismantling program without a fight, even
this small one.
Please, let me hear from you.
In solidarity,
Scott Cooper (smcooper@attbi.com)
