“Voices in Exile: Immigrants and the First Amendment” (1988, 30 min)
Since 9-11 and the passage of the USA Patriot Act, balancing civil liberties with national security is a major concern. VOICES IN EXILE follows an astonishing 20-year deportation case against Palestinians in Los Angeles that foreshadows current government use of “secret evidence.” This riveting video examines plans for rounding up Arab Americans, reminiscent of the WWII internment of Japanese Americans.

Olympia-Rafah Mural Project workshops: Saturday, January 26, 2008 – 10:00am – 4:30pm – The Olympia Center, Rooms 101 and 102 – 222 Columbia St. NW, Olympia
On Friday, January 25th, Carlos Marentes of Comité Pro-Amnistía General y Justicia Social in Seattle and Susan Greene of Break the Silence Mural Project in the San Francisco Bay Area will present Up Against the Wall—from Palestine to Mexico. Marentes and Greene will discuss connections between the walls constructed and proposed on the U.S.-Mexico border and those in Israeli occupied West Bank and Gaza and, also, connections between the struggles of the oppressed populations impacted by these walls.
