Manifestación contra la imposición: 1o Diciembre
Manifestación pacífica contra la imposición
December 1st, 2012, 10 am
Consulado General de México en San Diego
1549 India St., San Diego, California 92101
Con motivo de la toma de protesta de la presidencia en México, y en apoyo a nuestros compañeros de #YoSoy132 en todo México, el próximo 1 de diciembre, llevaremos a cabo una manifestación pacífica y apartidista para demostrar nuestra inconformidad en contra de la imposición de un presidente más.
Al igual que en manifestaciones anteriores, trataremos de mantener las vías peatonales abiertas durante la manifestación, de esta forma, podremos captar atención de quienes pasen por el consulado y además darles volantes, lo cual es uno de nuestros principales objetivos.
También es importante abstenernos de insultos hacia funcionarios públicos mexicanos, ya que aún cuando existe una muy fuerte frustración en contra de ellos, tendremos más éxito, si les recordamos los hechos de corrupción por los cuales estamos en contra de ellos, además de que de esta forma los expondremos de una manera más efectiva hacia el público.

Esperamos contar con la participación de todos los mexicanos que residen en San Diego, y que están cansados de la corrupción en México.
Pasen la voz para los que no tengan acceso a facebook.
“Si no ardemos juntos, ¿quién iluminará esta oscuridad?”
#YoSoy132 San Diego
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
In the eve of the presidential oath of office in Mexico, and in support to #YoSoy132 in Mexico, we will have a public demonstration on December 1, 2012. We will show the mexican government our inconformity with the imposition of another president.
As with previous demonstrations, we will try to maintain the sidewalk open for pedestrians, and in this way we will be able to reach out to pass byers to inform them of what is happening in Mexico, being this one of our main objectives.
It is also important to abstain from insults towards mexican authorities, even when there is a great frustration towards them, we will be more successful if we remind them the acts of corruption they have committed, and with this we will expose them in a more effective way towards the public.
We hope to see all mexicans who reside in San Diego and are tired of corruption in Mexico.
Tell others about this event, especially those who do not have access to facebook.

Martha Ojeda: What is going on in Mexico?: Nov 7
What is going on in Mexico? A Perspective from Maquiladora Workers:
From NAFTA to Plan Merida
Martha Ojeda
Wednesday, Nov 7, 2012
9:35-11 am
San Diego City College
Room A 213
 |
| TRW Workers, Tams, Mexico |
Martha Ojeda is a leader of a unique movement of union, community and religious activists, who are creating a new kind of cross-border solidarity, an answer from below to the globalization of the world's economy. As executive director of the Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras, Ojeda has organized thousands of maquiladora workers in some of the poorest barrios in Mexico, a stone's throw from the U.S. border. Challenging the maquiladora border bosses, she takes on some of the world's biggest corporations, running some of Mexico's most miserable sweatshops. David Bacon, Hellraiser
You can tell straight away that Martha Ojeda is a force to be reckoned with. The passion in her ringing, rapid-fire Spanish is infectious as she describes the lives of the half-million maquiladora (a literal translation means 'assembled by machine') workers who labor in the low-wage assembly plants tucked inside the Mexican border. She has been an activist, organizer and worker in the maquiladoras herself for nearly 20 years. Wayne Ellwood, New Internationalist magazine
For Martha Ojeda, the daunting is routine; the impossible simply takes a little longer. For twenty years, a production worker and labor activist in Mexican maquiladora factories, Martha is now executive director of a remarkable transnational organization, the Coalition for Justice in the Maquiladoras (CJM). Petra: Victories for Justice
Martha Ojeda, director of the Coalition pro Justice in the Maquiladoras since 1996 is also editor of the book “NAFTA From Below: Maquiladora Workers, Farmers, and Indigenous Communities Speak Out on the Impact of Free Trade in Mexico” together with Prof. Rosemary Hennessy.
In testimonies from scores of maquiladora workers, campesinos, and indigenous communities from across Mexico, NAFTA From Below details the impact of free trade on those it has most severely affected. These first-hand accounts of workers organizing for their rights, of farmers and indigenous peoples fighting to preserve their land, and of efforts north and south to build alternatives document the courage of ordinary people who dare to join together and stand up for decent work conditions, just salaries, a clean environment, and lives with dignity.

More about Agustín Casasola:
“The Mexican Agustín Víctor Casasola, with the intermittent help of his brother Miguel, began to set up around 1900 one of the most important photographic archives for the history of a country. However, the international recognition of these almost 500,000 photos has not matched its importance. Born in 1874 and raised in the years of the Porfirio Díaz government, Agustín Casasola was a direct witness to all the adversities that led to modern Mexico, and breathed as nobody else the air of a country and a city that developed during the first third of the 20th century at a runaway pace.” (Riowang)

Art at Mesa College: Sept 6
San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery presents:
Seven Deadly Sins
September 6 – October 1, 2012
Reception: Thursday, September 6, 5 - 7 pm, D101
Presentation by curator Professor Beate Bermann-Enn at 7 pm, G101
Parking is free on reception night. Light refreshments will be served.
Gallery Hours
MTW 11-4 pm, Thursday 11 – 8 pm. Closed Fridays, weekends and school holidays.
In this exhibition seven accomplished artists reinterpret the Seven Deadly Sins and contextualize them for the 21st Century. San Diego based artists Marianela de la Hoz and Alexia Markarian are joined by Phyllis Davidson, Gene Flores, Doug Sutherland, Henning von Berg and Peter Zokosky. Art history professor Beate Bermann-Enn curated the exhibit, which brings together an eclectic group from different parts of the United States and from as far as Germany.
By transposing these ancient Catholic precepts to a modern world all of these artists bring a touch of the surreal and the absurd to their creations. The resulting visual allegories in a variety of media both awe and disturb. They admonish the viewer with a hint of irony and a slight wink to temptation. Come and be sinful with us!
Davidson’s luscious satiny textured paintings present a sardonic view of our less than perfect society. Her large canvases contrast with De la Hoz’s exquisite miniatures painstakingly painted using the ancient medium of egg tempera. Flores' elegant engravings play with the mythological and feature odd hybrid creatures.
Ex-votos, images of the Madonna, inspired Markarian’s subtlyaltered composite prints. In Sutherland’s digitally generated altarpiece, Robo Christ, a video flashes the (political) sins of our times. German von Berg uses digital photography to create tableaux with ‘angels’ and ‘devils’ as sculptural nudes. Los Angeles based Zokosky paints quirky and imaginative allegories with an art historical feel.
