IP #213: Chicago's Immigrant Rights/Workers Rights MarchPepperspray Productions27 min 52 sec - Aug 27, 2006Labor Beat: The Penthouse of Heaven www.laborbeat.org Chicago's Immigrant Rights/Workers Rights March, May Day 2006 On May Day, 2006 the largest march ever in Chicago took place--to support the rights of immigrant workers. Estimates of the size of the march ranged from 400,000 to 700,000! The video contains interviews with union spokespeople from UNITE HERE, UFCW, SEIU, Carpenters, U.E., and others, including Jorge Mujica of the March 10 Committee, and a speech at the Haymarket Square ceremony by James Thindwa (Chicago Jobs with Justice) reminding us that the negative effects of NAFTA have been forgotten in the national discussion about border crossings from Mexico. The message of the video also criticizes guest worker schemes, and it calls for unionization, not just legalization, of immigrant workers, and for living wage legislation. The march participants remind us with their signs and in eloquent statements that this protest was not only about Mexican/Hispanic immigrants, but about all immigrants, from Poland to India to the Philippines.

NYC Immigration March from April 10th Click to Download Guest Video from WBJordon 24 mgs 10.5 minutes Littering Charges DROPPED Against the Blanco 3 I returned to court today for the second time to face charges of littering for my participation (as a videographer) in an Eviction related political demonstration at the Governor of Louisianna's House. Prior to going before the judge our Cop was overheard gloating as he showed the DA other cops the 24 8 x 10 glossy photos with the lines an arrows... These weren't just any ol'photos mind you... these photos were manufactured evidence. The photos the cops entered as evidence were of the evicted persons belongings scattered about in a heap of crap that .. well .. looked like trash. It did NOT, however, look anything like the scene of the crime which was a well organized Display of furnishings . Since the cops had apprehended us before leaving the scene, given the nature of the action and the fact that the Evicted Persons Property was removed by the Governors grounds crew even before we were carted off to the interegation rooms.... the judge found that there was no way for them to prove our intent to litter and dismissed the charges against all 3 . We were lied to by the cops on the scene when they said it was all on video (theirs). If they'd had video there would have been other questions asked of us on the scene, their pictures could have been much different and the 5 of us would have been in court. We all shared an elevator on the way out of the court house. Gloating Boy had changed his tune... nothing personal ... I got my job and you got... he couldn't finish that sentence since he was the only one bought an paid for. NICE COPS LIE. Previous Court Story , Video of Demonstration

Video from the May 1 immigrant rights protests that took place in Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts. The video follows a group of 1,000 protesters from their rally at Harvard and along their four-mile march to Boston Common.
LAPD announce that the gathering of people at 1st and Main is 'illegal.' This is a prelude to them clearing the street. They have 'less lethal' weapons, tear gas guns, etc.
Perhaps one of the most frightening things I've ever seen, the police storm the protestors again for the second time. Watch closely; you'll see one Hispanic male start to run, and then you'll see the LAPD pick one guy and begin to hail him with clubs and kicks. He falls to the ground, assumes the fetal position, and continues to get beat/kicked for another 10-15 seconds. Watch the LAPD and the sheriffs throw people out of the way who try to come to this guy's aid. He was bleeding quite a bit from his head, but I couldn't get close enough to film that. One of the sheriff's had a billy club pointed at me. The worst part of this video is when the group who are helping the wounded man out of the way. Watch closely and you can see an LAPD officer run in and hit an innocent good samaritan with his/her club. Disgusting.
Not 60 seconds after I finished shooting the last video, the police ran towards all of us in the crowd. If you watch the first video ("Standoff Between Peaceful Protestors and LAPD"), you can see how close I was to both groups. Actually, I was right in between them. I started running when I saw the LAPD barge towards us with billy clubs in hand. One guy in a white shirt (Miguel, the guy in the end of the video) stood his ground with his hands in the air. He was beat on his legs, back, arms, and stomach 15-20 times. He did not fight back. His message at the end is pretty poignant.
