Oliver Stone goes
"South of the Border"



Which "South of the Border" review has the dumbest mistake?
Vote:here


Some PCASCistas made it to an advanced press screening of the film. Here is one review:

Oliver Stone's new documentary film, “South Of The Border” compares the North American media-propaganda of Hugo Chávez with actual interviews of the Bolivarian Revolutionary. Stone provides a historically accurate picture of Hugo Chávez and his rising into power, including a fair account of the coups, the media, and the United States. The most controversial presidents in South America are interviewed about their role in the Bolivarian Revolution, their long-term goals, and similarities in struggle. Stone provides only a bit of editorializing and characterizing, instead he allows the Presidents to speak for themselves and communicate their own objectives. This film is not a complete analysis of the South-American labor movement, but it does provide a flavor of the overtones of the revolution in South America, and an introduction of the South-American Presidents to the average American viewer.

Day of Action against SB 1070
¡Ya Basta: Comunidades Uniéndose a La Resistencia - Communities Uniting to Resist!
5pm- NOS VEMOS en Holladay Park
(11th and Holladay)

 


Resistance has sparked across the state of Arizona and the country to defeat SB1070 and all racist policies that further criminalize our people and separate families. We know that if SB1070 is not stopped in Arizona now, similar laws will spread throughout the country.


We demand that the Obama Administration take decisive action and not comply with Arizona’s SB1070. This law can only terrorize our communities if the federal government cooperates with it.

We demand that all ICE ACCESS programs such as 287(g), Secure Communities, and the CAP programs be suspended.

Dear friends,

The Repeal Coalition is beginning a campaign of noncompliance with SB 1070, which is scheduled to go into effect on July 29. As part of our campaign, we are asking people to consider signing our pledge of noncompliance in which people pledge not to obey 1070 when/if it goes into effect.
(You can also sign on to our pledge at www.repealcoalition.org .)


As part of our noncompliance campaign we are creating 18" x 24" lawn signs with the message below. We will encourage people throughout the state to put this sign on their lawn or in their window to show opposition to SB 1070 and solidarity with undocumented people in this state. 

Each sign costs just over $2. That means the first 1,000 signs we are ordering cost a little more than $2000. A generous donor has promised to match any funds that the Repeal Coalition can raise, up to $1500.
This is where we need your help.
 

Here's how you can help:

 
1) If you agree that SB 1070 is an immoral law and you are willing to resist that law, please sign our pledge of noncompliance. You can fill out the pledge at www.repealcoalition.org or send us an email with your name and address and pledge to repealcoalition@gmail.com. Keep in mind that this pledge calls for civil disobedience against SB 1070. You are pledging to break this law to honor a higher moral law.

2) If you would like to help us raise $1500 to pay for the signs, send a donation to the Repeal Coalition. You can donate by going to repealcoalition.org/do
nate. You can make a contribution there via Paypal. Or, you can mail a check to the Repeal Coalition and send it to us c/o Joel Olson, PO Box 15036, Flagstaff, AZ 86011. 
 
Thank you for your support. Together we can defeat this evil law.
Yours for the freedom to live, love, and work wherever you want,

Joel Olson for the Repeal Coalition
