On Sunday November 25, 2007, over 100 community members attended the Menudo Breakfast Fundraiser organized in support of Liliana Sanctuario, a 30 year old Mexican women who has been living in a church sanctuary in resistance to the repressive Migra/ICE raids unleashed since May 2006.
The fundraiser was organized by Frente Contra las Redadas del Condado de Ventura FCR-VC (United Front Against the Raids) a local coalition formed in August of this year to combat and expose the brutal state terror caused by Homeland Security's Operation Endgame, a detention and removal plan aimed at deporting 12 million undocumented workers and their families by the year 2012.
The FCR-VC breakfast fundraiser collected $1000 dollars and donated immediately to Liliana's family. Sunday's morning program included an indigenous ceremony by Danza Azteca Kalpuli Huiztilin ihuan Xochitl, music and dance by Mariachi and Ballet Folclorico Inlakech, as well as an acoustic guitar presentation by JuanGhoma.
Guest presentations were also made by Oxnard College MEChA, Hermandad Mexicana of Oxnard, New Sanctuary Movement/CLUE, FCR-VC representative and Liliana's husband. Also, a recorded video message from Liliana to the fundraiser supporters, as well as a video clip of the New Sanctuary Movement.
An FCR-VC representative exclaimed, "The message is made clear here today, we must organize in our communities to resist these racist laws and Migra/ICE terror. We must network and build an organized community response against Endgame."
Tears were drawn and hearts were inspired to struggle when a live telephone call address by Liliana. Participants listened as Liliana told her story and how she has been separated from her family unjust laws. "Thank you for all of your support, the community organizing efforts, the marches, etc. has impacted our family tremendously. My children are filled with joy know that there is a struggle in our support" says Liliana.
