Attack on Immigrants

dianakuan — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 19:42:30 -0500

In the last few months, Congress has escalated its attack on immigrants, introducing a number of bills in the name of cracking down on illegal immigrants and "the war on terrorism." Congress is preparing to overhaul the nation's immigration laws that would impact 11 million undocumented immigrants living in this country.

The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the immigration bill, known as the temporary guest worker program. It appears to allow undocumented immigrants living in this country a chance to work here legally, but restrictions seem so strong that it's not clear that any of the 11 million people currently here would be able to benefit and gain citizenship. If passed, this law would not protect the rights of immigrant workers, provide a path to citizenship, nor allow a realistic path for future flow of immigrants.

NYC City Council Vote on Resolution 0136

dianakuan — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 19:25:32 -0500

Help Save Public Access!

dianakuan — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 12:34:42 -0500

Your community cable channels (public, educational, governmental) are under threat by pending legislation in the House and Senate.

Community Access TV is a place to see and hear local viewpoints and diverse ideas and cultural expressions. This is where every person can express themselves through the making and airing of their own television show.

Nowadays commercial media interests sometimes argue that we don't need Community Access TV anymore because there are lots of commercial channels to choose from. This is like arguing that because a town has a bookstore it no longer needs a public library. As the media becomes a bigger part of our lives the public needs more Community Access TV (and other forms of non-commercial publlic "Greenspace" media - such as local low power radio, and publicly accessible Internet), not less of it!
