FROM SLAVE PATROL TO BORDER PATROL

Screening of Rights on the Line and Panel Discussion with Arnoldo Garcia, Monica Hernandez, and Chris Newman

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2 P.M.

Residents of border communities and activists capture the tension caused by the vigilante Minuteman Project through a powerful documentary, Rights on the Line. The Southern California Library will feature a screening of the documentary followed by a panel of activists working on issues of labor and immigration.

Just as the function of the slave patrols in the South was to impede mobility and to ensure return to the plantation, today the border patrol acts to impede mobility and to reinforce existing inequalities and social structures that leave targeted groups economically vulnerable. The panelists will explore the issues of immigration, labor, and the function of mobility across the border. Spanish translation will be available.

FREE. EVERYONE WELCOME, INCLUDING FAMILIES. REFRESHMENTS.
