call for conference support (electronic donations or checks)

SUMMIT COMBATTING HATE, CENSORSHIP & FORBIDDEN CURRICULUMS
DEC 2-4 TUCSON, ARIZONA
CALL FOR SUPPORT

A historic conference and Floricanto in Tucson, Arizona at the beginning of December will tackle the issues of hate, censorship and forbidden curriculums. Yet, it may not be so much a conference as it will be a gathering or a summit to confront what L.A. hip-hop artist Tolteka has dubbed the Trilogy of Terror: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiG8p1MUXxA).

The three legs of this Arizona trilogy include:

SB 1070- the state’s racial profiling bill

HB 2281 – the anti-Ethnic/Raza Studies bill

Nullification of the 14th Amendment or Birthright Citizenship


Understanding that not all who wish to participate will be able to make the trip to this political desert, this here is a call to support this conference. 

ELECTRONIC DONATIONS:

We are accepting gifts from $25, $50 to $100 or more. The estimated budget that still needs to be raised for the conference is $4,000 and we hope to reach that through generous contributions like yours. This includes a special issue of El Coraje, a publication that has been revived by UA Students (496 students: History of Red-Brown Journalism), which will serve to document much of the themes within the conference.
