On March 6, 2007, US Immigration officials raided a New Bedford, MA factory that makes vests and backpacks for US soldiers. Many of the 361 undocumented immigrants who were detained in the raid were women with small children.
Este documental incluye relatos de trabajadores inmigrantes de lo que pasó en la redada del 6 de marzo de 2007 en la fábrica Bianco en New Bedford, Massachussets por funcionarios del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas de Estados Unidos (ICE). Muchos de los obreros inmigrantes en esta fábrica —que fabrica chalecos y mochilas para soldados estadounidenses— fueron mujeres con hijos pequeños y la película muestra las ramificaciones de la detención entre las familias y en la comunidad.

Help us make April 20th a success!
Dear Supporter,
Colombia has just surpassed Sudan as having the worst internal displacement crisis in the world.
Over 4 million Colombians have been violently forced from their
homes. While the war responsible for this crisis has raged for
decades, the pace of displacement has intensified in recent years.
Last year, 1500 Colombians fled their homes every day.
For far too long, the US has been part of the problem, not the
solution. US policy towards Colombia has been dominated by
displacement-exacerbating military aid, fumigations, and now a proposed
NAFTA-style free trade agreement. (See below for more details.)
Now is the moment for bold action. Obama has plenty of
things to think about in his first several months--Colombia should be
one of them. Four million displaced Colombians cannot afford to wait
any longer. In this era of changing the way things are done in
Washington, it's our chance to call on Obama to chart a new path with
Colombia--one that halts the displacement, supports victims of
violence, and opens avenues to peace.
You can be a part of "Change Colombia Can Believe In". Join us for the National Day of Action on April 20:
