Directions al Parque del Profesor from the US:Click the map and read below
From the U.S. (See Map) When you cross the border, drive down to the second stop light and you´re facing the Plaza on Juarez Avenue, there you turn right, drive through town and then it becomes to be the highway towards Tijuana. You´re coming on the highway towards the Ranch Rancho La Puerta. You will see a gas station: the last and only gas station on the highway towards Tijuana. At that gas station you turn right; the name of the road is "Calle Cuchuma." Drive straight on that road for about 1 mile and immediately you can see the entrance in to the park on the right.

Striving for True Praxis for Public Education -- May 15
REGISTER NOW!4TH ANNUAL ARE CONFERENCE
STRIVING FOR TRUE PRAXIS TO RECLAIM PUBLIC EDUCATION
The conference, which is to be held on May 15, 2010, in San Diego, CA (Lincoln High School), will consist of workshops on a multitude of areas related to education. There will also be cultural presentations, as well as tables of information and literature from dozens of organizations will be on display. The keynote speakers of the conference will be the historian and one of the founders of Chicano Studies, Rodolfo Acuña; hip-hop artist/journalist and Green Party 2008 Vice Presidential Candidate, Rosa Clemente; and survivor of the brutal military overthrow of the President Allende of Chile and today UCSD professor and social justice activist, Cecilia Ubilla.
The A.R.E. conference’s goals are not limited to just “enlightening” those attending to new ideas, but to move them to forming “core groups of teacher-activists”, who in turned will form broad “progressive associations”, which will eventually lead to a “mass movement of teachers” joining other sectors of society in a struggle for total change here in the United States and around the world.
The building of this movement, A.R.E. believes, will require that today’s schools become sites of democratic struggle and centers for social justice organizers. This will necessitate that we uphold and give legitimacy to grassroots educators and intellectuals –the workers and community leaders. These people’s leaders have a wealth of knowledge and hold in their experience many of the answers and solutions to ending the problems facing Raza communities and other minorities: poverty, violence, ignorance, drug abuse, gentrification, and environmental injustice. As Educators we know that only by learning from the experiences of the workers and the community, can we provide an education that is relevant to the lives of our students and build upon the knowledge that they bring into our classrooms.
A.R.E. calls on all educators to break out of the parameters imposed upon us by an unjust educational system. Freeing ourselves from the chains of an oppression-centered education is what the A.R.E. conferences are all about. Join on this journey towards liberation; attend this year’s A.R.E. conference.

I.D.E.A.S. (Individuals Dedicated to the Educational Achievement of all Students) is hosting a silent arts and crafts auction accompanied by music/dance/poetry and more! As means to help and celebrate the AB-540 student struggle. Hope to see you all there!

Sonia Franco at (619)381-8875, sfranco06@yahoo.com or Ideasclubsdcc@gmail.com
About Ideas
I.D.E.A.S. is an organization on campus that serves as a support group for AB-540 students, students who don’t get financial aid due to their immigration legal status or because they are from out of state. We believe that education is a right that should be granted to all individual regardless of their legal status. As an organization we focus on creating ways by which AB-540 students can continue the difficult task of getting an education.
Currently we are working on a fundraising event that will help pay for our books the upcoming semesters. This event will consist of a silent arts and crafts auction, music, dance, poetry and more! Since we are only asking for suggested donations at the door, and most of the funds will come from what we sell, we need to have a great amount of people who will be interested in buying the art at the event.
As educators this is what we need from you:
1. Announce the event: The Art of Persistence: An Unstoppable Dream: Friday May 14th @ The Saville Theatre, San Diego City College, from 6pm-9:30pm $5-10 suggested donation, to all your classes, families and friends who support our cause.
2. Invite people to participate: People from the group are working on the art pieces but we need more people to donate their work. Encourage your students, friends and family to donate art, jewelry, pottery, photography or anything else they think people might be willing to buy at the auction.
3. Encourage AB-540 students in your classes to get involve: Part of this event will consist of telling our stories as means to make our voices heard. There are thousands of AB-540 students in California alone but unfortunately our voices have been silent for what seems like an eternity. We wish to take this opportunity to tell people the reasons why we are here (in this country) as means of creating tolerance among those who oppose to us getting an education. Casually tell your student that if they are AB-540 students and wish to participate by telling their stories, they can attend the I.D.E.A.S. meeting on Thursdays from 2:30-3:30pm in room A-15 to get involve with the event.
4. Where to drop the Donations: Tell your students that they can take their donations directly to the group on Thursdays from 2:30-3:30pm in room A-15, or by arrangement by contacting Sonia Franko at: (619)381-8875 or at sfranco06@yahoo.com
5. Promote, Promote, Promote! There is no better way to help than by attending the event and promoting it! Please send this to everybody you know and hope to see you there!

Vigil in solidarity with the people of Arizona--April 26

Press Release
ESTE MENSAJE SE REPETIRA EN ESPAÑOL
SAN DIEGO COMMUNITIES EXPRESS SOLIDARITY
WITH THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA
AND DENOUNCE THE NEW SB 1070 LAW
San Diego, CA - On Monday April 26, 2010, community organizations from throughout San Diego will come together for a vigil in solidarity with the people of Arizona, and unite their voices with those who reject the recently signed Arizona state law SB 1070. This vigil is being convened at the Federal Building in Downtown San Diego with a call by the Raza Rights Coalition and its member collectives in order to reject the approval of a law that has been clearly designed to criminalize and punish the working people of Arizona.
"It is truly sad to witness the lack of political will on the part of the Obama administration in the effort to move on immigration reform, a reality that has motivated the extreme right wing in state of Arizona to promote and legalize the violation of civil and human rights," stated Adriana Jasso, coordinator of the Raza Rights Coalition in San Diego. Communities around the country, and most recently in Arizona, have been witness to how the Obama administration has provided operational funds to policies which have terrible consequences such as family separation. The most recent operation in the state of Arizona was the largest in the history of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) - an operation that mobilized over 800 agents in four different locations across the state. This operation is clearly part of the strategy of the Obama administration, which continues to concentrate all of its efforts on raids, arrests and deportations.
"Every community across the country must speak out, mobilize and reject SB 1070 which was just been signed into law by the governor of Arizona. It is time to be a part of history, and in an organized fashion, resist these terrible attacks that our communities face on a daily basis..." concludes Adriana Jasso. The empty promises of change and total lack of political will from politicians at the federal level can not, and must not be the source of our communities sinking further into fear and the marginalization. The initiative for profound and definitive change must originate from our communities that suffer daily the consequences of these repressive policies. Furthermore, it should be noted that these policies have been promoted by both Democrats and Republicans.

COMUNIDADES EN SAN DIEGO EXPRESAN
SOLIDARIDAD CON EL PUEBLO DE ARIZONA
Y DENUNCIAN LA NUEVA LEY SB 1070
San Diego, CA - El día lunes, 26 de abril de 2010 en un acto de solidaridad con el pueblo de Arizona y en denuncia a la nueva ley estatal SB 1070, organizaciones comunitarias en San Diego llevarán a cabo una vigilia en el edificio federal localizado en el centro de San Diego. La Coalición Pro Derechos de la Raza, sus colectivos y la comunidad en general unen su voz para repudiar la aprobación de una ley que claramente ha sido diseñada para castigar y criminalizar al pueblo trabajador de Arizona.
"Es verdaderamente lamentable ver como la falta de voluntad política por parte de la administración de Obama hacia la reforma migratoria ha provocado que la extrema derecha en el estado de Arizona promuevan y legalicen la violación a los derechos civiles y humanos" afirmó Adriana Jasso, coordinadora de la Coalición Pro Derechos de la Raza en San Diego. Comunidades en varias partes del país y curiosamente recientemente en Arizona, han sido testigos de cómo la administración de Obama se ha enfocado en otorgar fondos a operativos los cuales tienen lamentables resultados como la separación familiar. El operativo mas reciente en el estado de Arizona fue el operativo mas grande en la historia de la agencia de ICE que empleó a más de 800 efectivos en cuatro diferentes puntos del estado. Este operativo forma parte de la estrategia de la administración de Obama que continua enfocando todo su esfuerzo en operativos, detenciones y deportaciones.
"Toda comunidad en cada rincón del país debe alzar su voz, movilizarse y denunciar la ley SB 1070 que acaba de ser firmada por la gobernadora de Arizona, llegó el momento de ser parte de la historia y resistir de forma organizada los ataques que nuestras comunidades enfrentan" concluye Adriana Jasso. El vacío y la falta de voluntad política para remediar la cuestión migratoria que les falta a los políticos no puede, ni debe ser la causa por la que nuestras comunidades se hundan en el miedo y las sombras. La iniciativa de cambios profundos y definitivos deberá desprenderse de las comunidades que día a día sufren las consecuencias de la política represiva que tanto demócratas como republicanos promueven.

Palestine Teach In
Students for Justice in Palestine
Wednesday April 7th
12:55-2:00 pm
San Diego City College
Room D121a/b
Students for Justice in Palestine at SDSU is a diverse group of students, faculty, staff, and community members, organized in accordance with democratic principles to promote justice, human rights, liberation, and self-determination for the Palestinian people.
“The most significant acts to undermine a peaceful settlement are the daily US-backed actions in the occupied territories, all recognized to be criminal: taking over valuable land and resources and constructing what the leading architect of the plan, Ariel Sharon, called "Bantustans" for Palestinians -- an unfair comparison because the Bantustans were far more viable than the fragments left to Palestinians under Sharon's conception, now being realized.”
“Not far from here, in a place called Gaza, in Palestine, in the Middle East, right here next to us, the Israeli government's heavily trained and armed military continues its march of death and destruction.
“The steps it has taken are those of a classic military war of conquest: first an intense mass bombing in order to destroy "strategic" military points (that's how the military manuals put it) and to "soften" the resistance's reinforcements; next a fierce control over information: everything that is heard and seen "in the outside world," that is, outside the theater of operations, must be selected with military criteria; now intense artillery fire against the enemy infantry to protect the advance of troop to new positions; then there will be a siege to weaken the enemy garrison; then the assault that conquers the position and annihilates the enemy, then the "cleaning out" of the probable "nests of resistance."
