UN MOMENTO JUSTO POR LA PAZ

We have frequently called it, “Fear Inc.,” i.e., the govemment’s efforts to control, intimidate, incarcerate, and even kill.
It’s waged by government agents, that is, the military, the police, sheriffs departments and carceral/ prison and jail systems,
and last but extremely prominently, the lawless IСЕ/СВР/НIS ICE personnel.
That law less use of violence has become even more frequent and belligerent.
So our efforts to stop it are increasing. We call it our “Stop Government-Sponsored Violence” campaign.
We include our collaboration with other initiatives, of which there are many.

Here are a few:
Evict ICE – this ongoing campaign, led by Our City Action Buffalo, currently includes weekly vigils in front of 250 Delaware, the Delaware North
Building (corner of Delaware and Chippewa) which houses ICE operations and includes actual cells!
Go to evictice250delaware.com to sign up (vigils currently Tuesdays 4:30pm-6pm, with special May Day protest there at Noon).

Pass NY4AIl – The New York for All Act will protect immigrant New Yorkers, keep families together, and preserve state and local resources to uphold the state’s public safety priorities. You can get information from our allies at NY Immigration Council.
Get Erie County to pass a resolution supporting NY4A1l – thanks to Legislator Taisha St Jean Tard for this initiative.
Please tell your county legislator to support it.

Sign Assemblyman Jon Rivera’s petition at justicefornurul.com.
Mr. Nurul Amin Shah Alam died from the heinous negligence of Customs & Border Patrol, with the illegal collaboration from the Sheriff s Office.
The petition is for a full public hearing with investigation into the Sheriff’s Office.

Stand with the wonderful family of Nurul by donating to the GoFundMe for their benefit.
You can give them $ more immediately through the cashapp/zelle also shared in this edition of Buffalo Latino Village and hear more of their story on our radio show.
Work towards getting a city ordinance prohibiting federal-local collusion in Civil Immigration enforcement.
Contact Caitlin@ppgbuffalo.org to get plugged into this initiative.
There are many campaigns and initiatives trying to stop this violence abroad as well.
Call our senators and congresspersons, urge them to vote in favor of war powers acts (re Iran, Yemen, and more), stop arming Israel (No Bombs, No Bulldozers), stop funding IСE/СBР/HIS. and end the blockade on Cuba.

Please call the Congressional Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for Senator Schumer, Senator Gillibrand:
and your congressperson (Tim Kennedy or whoever yours is) to urge them to vote as just described.

We also hope you’ll join us WNYPC’s Latin American Solidarity Committee May Coffeehouse, “Buffalo
Latino Village in the Age of ICE,” on Monday,ay, 5/25, 7pm-9pm, Canisius University’s Science Hall. Our very own Alberto O. Cappas will share how the Latino community is being affected by the terrible lawless kidnappings and threats thereof, possibly with surprise guests. (Easy parking on Main north of Delavan; light refreshments.)
