PLEASE JOIN HUGE ST. PATRICK'S DAY PROTEST AT SKOSH MONAHAN'S IN COSTA MESA!

The Collectivo Tonantzin, an organization dedicated toward defending the rights of undocumented workers and all oppressed peoples, will be holding a huge St. Patrick's Day protest this Friday night on the public sidewalk surrounding Skosh Monahan's Steakhouse & Irish Pub, a restaurant owned by Gary Monahan, a Costa Mesa City Councilman. The weekly protests are being held to express discontent over Monahan's decision to vote with Minuteman Mayor Allan Mansoor and Councilman Eric Bever to close the day laborer center and allow the Costa Mesa Police Department to enter into an agreement with the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enforce federal immigration law. In addition to this, the Minutemen are coming out to dine at Skosh Monahan's on Friday nights. Jim Gilchrist was present last week and is expected to show up again on St. Patrick's Day. We are asking that as many people as possible come out and spend a couple of hours picketing Councilman Monahan's restaurant! Please bring cardboard signs, musical instruments, and wear t-shirts and hats representing the groups and organizations you belong to!
