No Papers No Fear - Ride for Justice

After 10 states and more than fifteen cities, we will arrive in Charlotte, North Carolina today.

The city is the home to one of the biggest promoters of the 287(g) deportation program. It will be host to the Democratic National Convention. And it is the place that people like Isaide Serrano, a pregnant mother of five and member of La Familia Unida who faces deportation court on Tuesday, live their lives.

Charlotte is also the site of our last week of the No Papers No Fear Ride for Justice.

Can you donate to feed the riders for the rest of the week? ]

While the immigrant community and our friends have opened their doors wide to welcome us, County Commissioners Bill James and Jim Pendergraph have tried to do the opposite. In hearing about our pending arrival, James introduced a proposal to investigate students' immigration status in Mecklenburg County.  

The bill was handily voted down but what's happening in Charlotte is a microcosm of our whole journey. A city with so much potential, being held back by the backward prejudice of hateful politicians and propelled forward by good people working for change. It's a town like every town, tangled in immigration policies and trying to decide between exclusion and inclusion.

We're showing up to support Charlotte and the nation in turning that tide from hate to human rights.  We'll meet with groups resisting deportation to reach a new level of organizing and we'll continue to  risk everything to inspire officials to do more. We'll be marching against Wall Street South on Sunday, celebrating our culture on Monday, and rallying throughout next week.

When we started in Arizona we showed we were no longer afraid. In Birmingham, we showed that it's no longer acceptable to talk about about us without us.  In Knoxville, our oldest and youngest riders stood up to the spread of the deportation machine.  After so many stops, we've seen that today's immigration policies are causing a nation-wide human rights crisis and we've met migrant communities ready and strong enough to stop it.

Starting tonight, we'll bring all of that with us to Charlotte.

Stay tuned for more!

===================================================================

Después de 10 estados y mas de quince cuidadse, llegaremos a Charlotte, Carolina del Norte hoy día.

La cuidad es el hogar de uno de los promotores mas grandes del programa de deportación 287(g).   Y será el anfitrión de la Convención Nacional de los Demócratas.  Y es el lugar donde personas como Isaide Serrano, una mujer embarazada y madre de cinco, miembra de La Familia Unida quien esta esperando presentarse en corte de deportación el Martes viven sus vidas.

Charlotte también es nuestra destinación final el la ultima semana de Sin Papeles Sin Miedo Jira por Justicia.

Mientras la comunidad inmigrante y nuestros amigos han abierto sus puertas y nos han bienvenido, los Comisionados del Condado Bill James y Jim Pendegraph han tratado de hacer lo opuesto.  En oír de nuestra esperada llegada, James introdujo una propuesta para investigar el estatus de estudiantes inmigrantes en el condado de Mecklenburg.

Estamos llegando para apoyar a Charlotte y la nación en volteando la marea de odio a derechos humanos.  Nos reuniremos con grupos resistiendo deportación para alcanzar una nueva etapa organizativa y continuaremos arriesgando todo para inspirar a oficiales que hagan mas.  Marcharemos contra Wall Street del Sur el Domingo, Celebrando nuestra cultura el Lunes, y manifestaremos durante la proxima semana.

Cuando empezamos en Arizona mostramos que ya no tenemos miedo.  En Birmingham mostramos que ya no es aceptable hablar de nosotros sin nuestra participación.  En Knoxville nuestros viajeros mayores y mas jóvenes se enfrentaron y se mantuvieron firmes contra la extensión de la machina de deportación.  Después de tantas paradas, hemos visto que las políticas inmigratorias de hoy están causando una crisis de derechos humanos a través de la nación y hemos conocido comunidades migrantes preparados y lo suficientemente Fuertes para pararlo.

Empezando ahora nos traemos todo eso con nosotros a Charlotte.
¿Consideraría hacer una donación para que podamos continuar este esfuerzo teniendo los fondos legales necesarios?
Quédense pendientes para lo que vienen,
Viajeros de Sin Papeles Sin Miedo
