DEFEND FARM WORKERS' FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION!
, 14.07.2004 16:32
Demand criminal trespassing charges be dropped against FLOC organizers! On June 25, FLOC organizers Francisco Heredia and Blake Pendergrass were arrested during a meeting with 20 cucumber pickers at a Nash County labor camp in Whitakers, North Carolina. The workers were discussing with FLOC their concerns over substandard living and working conditions, and a pay-rate below the minimum wage. The meeting was disrupted as the organizers were handcuffed by Nash County Sheriffs and charged with criminal trespassing, at the furious growers' request. The arrests occurred despite the workers' outspoken defense of FLOC's presence at the camp to the grower, crew leader, and Sheriffs.

Jewish San Francisco Activist Denied Entry into Israel
, 13.07.2004 18:43
7/12/04: Jamie Spector, an activist and social worker from San Francisco, arrived in Israel on Sunday. She was detained for 9 hours at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, interrogated for 1 hour, denied entry into the country, and is still being held. She is one of a dozen or more human rights advocates who have been stopped from entering Israel in the last month. It is believed that she and others have been targeted for deportation because of their membership in the International Solidarity Movement. She also works with Jews for a Free Palestine and the Brass Liberation Orchestra in the Bay Area. Brooke Atherton, who is also an ISM activist from the Bay Area, was refused entry into Israel in June.
Klamath Tribes to Rally for Salmon in K-Falls and Scotland
, 13.07.2004 11:29
Tribal members will host two events this weekend to draw attention to dwindling salmon runs on the Klamath River. In Klamath Falls, a Congressional field hearing is scheduled to address the hardships caused by the Endangered Species Act (ESA) on Klamath basin farmers.
The House Resources Committee will vote on two bills that would significantly weaken ESA protections next week. Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-CA) and Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) have introduced bills that will create holes in the designation of critical habitat and place additional burdens on the scientific process of listing species under the ESA.
The Klamath Tribe has planned a deomonstration in support of wild salmon with dancing and drumming on Saturday, July 17 at 7:30 am at the Klamath County Museum.
Meanwhile, representatives from four Tribal Nations will send a delegation to Scotland to demand protection for salmon runs on the Klamath River. PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of mulitnational energy giant Scottish Power, is seeking re-licensing on dams it owns and operates on the Klamath River. The Karuk, Yurok, Hoopa, and Klamath Tribes cultures revolve around the annual return of the salmon. Since the construction of the Klamath River dams, the number of salmon returning to spawn has plummeted.
