[Jul 19] Carne asada fundraiser for El Balazo workers

[English below]

Carne Asada
Recuadación de Fondos
Para la Defensa de los Trabajadores de El Balazo

Sábado, 19 de julio

Berkeley, CA 94703

¡Porque los ataques contra inmigrantes tienen que parar!

El viernes, 2 de mayo, ICE (Inmigración e Imposición de Aduana) rodearon y atacaron 11 restaurantes de El Balazo en San Francisco y varias ciudades en la Bahía del Este. Estos ataques fueron los mas agresivos de California del Norte hasta el dia.

Esta redada notoria es parte de lo que ICE ha llamado "una oleada" en detenciones desde finales de abril del 2008 que ha resultado en más de 900 detenciones de inmigrantes en California. ¡Sin embargo, los trabajadores inmigrantes e organizaciones estamos en la lucha contra estos ataques!

El 14 de junio, más de dos docenas de activistas se encontraron en la Iglesia Presbiteriano de la Misión para planear la primera de muchas actividades para recaudar dinero para el Fondo de Defensa de Trabajadores de El Balazo.

Donaciones de $10 a $100

BBQ Fundraiser for the
El Balazo Workers Defense Fund
Because the raids on immigrants have to stop!

Saturday, July 19 from
2pm to 7pm

1548 Woolsey Street
Berkeley, CA 94703

On Friday, May 2, ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) surrounded and raided 11 El Balazo restaurants in San Francisco and several East Bay cities. This was ICE’s largest and most aggressive Northern California raid to date.

This egregious raid is part of what ICE has called a “surge” in detentions since late April 2008 which has resulted in over 900 immigrant detentions in California. However, immigrant workers, leaders and supporters are fighting back!

On June 14, more than two dozen activists met at the Mission Presbyterian Church to plan the first of many activities to raise money for the El Balazo Workers Defense Fund.

$10 to $100 sliding scale donation requested
info at 510-590-6073
http://balazodefense.blogspot.com

All the money will go directly to support the basic needs of the more than 45 El Balazo workers’ families, including: food, clothing, toys, school supplies and legal expenses.

We hope that you, your organization, union or community group will consider helping us make our first event a big success by attending the event and/or making a donation to the fund.

Here’s how you can support the El Balazo workers.

1. Endorse the BBQ by donating $25 to $500
2. Donate food or beverages to the BBQ
3. Tell your friends and family, as well as any groups that you belong to about the BBQ and ask them to attend

Checks can be written to East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE) (make sure to write “El Balazo Defense Fund” in the memo line)

Sponsored by: the El Balazo Workers Defense Fund, a coalition of individuals and organizations working to support the workers at the El Balazo Taqueria.

[July 10] Rally against bad city planning in San Francisco

For over 10 years, the Planning Department staff has worked on a plan to change the landscape (housing, businesses, parking, etc.) of the SOMA, Mission and Potrero neighborhoods. Instead of focusing on the how the existing community can be part of the growth of San Francisco, the plan focuses on building more high-priced condos, high rise offices and expensive businesses that will be enjoyed by only those who can afford them which majority are new residents.

Don't let BAD PLANNING DICTATE how San Francisco communities should grow!

Thursday, July 10th
