Stops Using Phrase "Illegal Immigrant"
Video: Crossing the line at the border
PBS Video
In partnership with the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute, Need to Know investigates whether U.S. border agents have been using excessive force in an effort to curb illegal immigration. Eight people have been killed along the border in the past two years. One man, Anastasio Hernandez Rojas, died a short time after being beaten and tased, an event recorded by two eyewitnesses whose video is the centerpiece of the report. Both eyewitnesses say the man offered little or no resistance. One told Need to Know that she felt like she watched someone being “murdered,” and the San Diego coroner’s office classified the death as a “homicide.”

Se invita a todos en general, estudiantes, maestros, académicos, amas de casa, trabajadores, familias enteras a acompañarnos para fomentar y reforzar la tradición mexicana del Altar de muertos y de manera paralela comenzar a crear en Tijuana una cultura de manifestación.

Encuentro Internacional: Aportaciones del Software Libre a la lucha de las Izquierdas- 15 -17 Octubre
Ollin Calli participa en:
Segundo Encuentro Internacional:
Aportaciones del Software Libre a la lucha de las Izquierdas.
Aportaciones del Software Libre a la lucha de las Izquierdas.
15, 16 y 17 de Octubre
Plaza Madero, Tijuana Centro
Por un diálogo local, regional e internacional entre el movimiento social de izquierda
y el movimiento por conocimiento y tecnologías libres
y el movimiento por conocimiento y tecnologías libres
Este Encuentro busca un intercambio entre colectivos identificados con una ideología de izquierdas; los temas a tratar son los siguientes:
- Seguridad digital y la vigilancia masiva
- Herramientas colaborativas sin fronteras y su utilidad local e internacionalista
- Lucha contra los monopolios en la comunicación electrónica
- Estrategias de mudanza y adopción del software libre
- Creación en común de bienes digitales
- Desafío ante la economía imperialista y la dependencia en la comunicación electrónica
- Sociedad de la información y la "economía post-industrial"
- Consumo de los aparatos inteligentes y comercialización de contenidos
- Transparencia del funcionamiento del Estado y las políticas públicas y privadas sobre datos abiertos
- Alternativas de comunicación electrónica construidas por el movimiento para una economía en crisis
Este Encuentro puede considerarse como un espacio de diálogo internacional. Dos expresiones del movimiento social que luchan por justicia, democracia, libertad, igualdad, soberanía, sustentabilidad, y convivencia humana sin explotación se reúnen y comparten experiencias. El punto es aumentar nuestras capacidades crecientes de comunicación pero a la vez mantener control sobre las herramientas tecnológicas de comunicación. Rechazamos que éstas escondan vicios y sean utilizadas como instrumentos de manipulación y control social.
Porque creemos que la comunicación y el conocimiento son un derecho que nos permite construir una mejor sociedad, les invitamos a ser partícipes del Segundo Encuentro Internacional: Aportaciones del Software Libre a la lucha de las Izquierdas.

Student Rally: May 1, 2014

In front of the school cafeteria (Gorton Quad)
On May 1, 2014 at 2:10pm, in front of the school cafeteria (Gorton Quad), Students in Power and various other school clubs from City College, SDSU, and UCSD will be hosting a rally to bring awareness to various issues affecting college students as well as labor workers. One of those issues includes the “Fight for 15,” which is a movement happening across the country in hopes of getting multi-billion dollar corporations to raise their minimum wage to $15 an hour. Another issue deals specifically with rising costs of college tuition and books. It’s time for us to stand together and collectively bring awareness to some of these issues confronting thousands of college students and people all across America. Our government is not going to do it for you, so get up off your chair and save this date for a chance to make change happen and be a part of something positive!
