Protest Racist Anti-Immigrant Arizona Law SB 1070 in Detroit Today!

Boycott & Protest Arizona Diamondbacks

Tigers v. Diamondbacks

Comerica Park – West Entrance

Friday, June 18, 5:30 PM

Game starts at 7:05 PM

On April 23rd, 2010, the governor of Arizona signed into law SB 1070, a law that legalizes racial profiling and criminalizes undocumented people as “trespassers”. The law makes it a crime to be without your passport, green card, visa, or state I.D.

Since the bill's signing, a call has emanated from concerned people in Arizona to boycott the State.  Organizations are canceling planned conventions in Arizona and protests are occurring at the Arizona     

Diamondbacks games around the country.  The Arizona Latino/a and immigrant communities have called for “a targeted boycott on corporations that have funded the campaign to further repress our community... A targeted boycott should be launched immediately to show the economic power of our community, and we can participate right in our own communities.  Boycott the Arizona Diamondbacks NOW! “

Why the Diamondbacks?

The Arizona Diamondbacks are one of the top contributors to the Republican Party in Arizona, which forced the passage of the racist, anti-immigrant SB 1070.  Republicans voted unanimously to pass the bill.

As sports columnist Dave Zirin wrote,” If the owners of the Diamondbacks want to underwrite an ugly edge of bigotry, we should raise our collective sporting fists against them. A boycott is also an expression of solidarity with Diamondback players such as Juan Guitterez, Gerardo Parra, and Rodrigo Lopez. They shouldn't be put in a position where they're cheered on the playing field and then asked for their papers when the uniform comes off. “

Join us in protesting the racist, anti-immigrant bill, recently passed in the state of Arizona and the introduction of similar repressive legislation in Michigan.

Sponsors: Michigan Emergency Committee Against War and Injustice (MECAWI), Latinos Unidos de Michigan, Moratorium NOW! Coalition to Stop Foreclosures, Evictions and Utility Shutoffs, Solidarity and Defense, FIST-Detroit.

Island Thursdays at The Post - Still Going Strong!

Island Thursdays at The Post in East Lansing are still going strong this summer.  Here are some photos Juan Beltran took a couple weeks ago.  They been bulling and charging cover when it gets busy, so come early if you want to avoid that.  Drinks specials are still dangerous and the music is as well. 

Old School Dance Classics Mix

So I got an offer to do an 70's 80's and 90's night at a club in Grand Rapids, and this is the demo i created for the night.  I didn't end up getting it,  I'm assuming this is due to not playing "Oh Micky" and Huey Lewis and the News, etc.  The mix is a bit cornier than i would make for myself, but it is still almost all great tracks.  I hope you enjoy.  Let me know what you think.
