PLEASE JOIN US TO DEMAND AN END TO RACIAL PROFILING
IN IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT!
We are writing to ask that your organization sign on to a letter urging President Obama to terminate the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) widely criticized 287(g) program, which relinquishes the authority to enforce civil federal immigration law to local law enforcement and corrections officials. Earlier this month, advocates, expecting a major overhaul of – or possibly an end to – this controversial program, were shocked to learn that DHS was expanding it to 11 new jurisdictions. While DHS claims to have standardized the agreements, close scrutiny has shown that these changes do nothing to prevent civil and human rights abuses, and in fact only further exacerbate the program's pervasive problems.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, AZ has been the most public example of the egregious human rights abuses that have resulted from the program. However, despite an ongoing civil rights investigation into the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office by the Department of Justice, DHS has not terminated its 287(g) agreement. Similarly, other law enforcement agencies around the country have aggressively targeted immigrants by using pretextual traffic stops or other racial profiling tactics.
Today marks the start of a five-day campaign aimed at gathering five hundred organizational signatures requesting that President Obama put an end to the 287(g) program.
Civil rights, criminal justice, community and immigrant rights organizations must stand in solidarity to send a clear message to the President:
The 287(g) program, which has contributed to the pervasive racial profiling our communities face day after day, must come to end.
Click here to co-sign this letter to President Obama. http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/371/t/4527/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=2040
In the coming days, individuals also will have the option to send a message directly to the President, but this week, the letter campaign is limited to organizations.
The deadline for signatures is 3pm EST, Friday, July 31, 2009.
Calling on such a large number of organizations to sign on in five days will require extraordinary collective effort, but the time is exactly right. When Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was arrested in his own home earlier this week, President Obama in response publicly recognized the “long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately". Now is the time to join together to highlight for the President the urgent need to safeguard against civil rights and human rights abuses occurring under the 287(g) program.
Please distribute this link widely. If you have organizations that you can personally reach out to, please do.
In solidarity,

my two cents on "black in america 2" discussions...
for the record: i wasn't disappointed by BIA 2. it did exactly what i expected - take a few issues that cnn has identified as pertinent to the "black community" in an attempt to humanize the struggles of individuals daily affected by structural inequalities such as race and class. i even found myself slightly amused by their illustration of 21st century racial uplift and u.s. north american discourses of individualism and progress.
i was especially curious to see what critical analyses women of the qbg community had to offer. however, reading the twitter conversation left me somewhat disappointed. while i share a similar cynicism as it relates to the mainstream media, i felt that the tone of the discussion crossed the line of sarcasm and became mean and unproductive at several points. yes, attacks on bad weaves and soledad's racial identification may be fun in practice. but beyond this, at the end of the day, how might such dialogues inspire new strategies for ending the oppression of women, poor people, queer people, and people of color struggling around the world? if this isn't an appropriate way to depict what it means to be black in america, how would we rewrite the narrative?
i guess my point is that beyond the pleasure that comes from poking fun at the limited representations of blacks (or what will and jada were thinking to allow their son to star in a mc donald's commercial) there is a real reason for our frustrations. and i believe that a discussion of these frustrations that is critical and proposes strategies for social change is the best response for creating a world that counters such programs...
another perspective with interesting reader feedback:
http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/07/while-you-snarked-on-cnns-black-in-america-you-missed-the-point/
p.s. Moya and i have decided to create a documentary that presents an alternative view of what it means to be "black in america" - one that highlights ethnic differences within the "black community", the existence of queer communities, how class politics presents a limited model of success, black relationships, and gentrification... thoughts?
