CASA DE MARYLAND LAUNCHES NEW POLITICAL ORGANIZATION – CASA IN
ACTION – TO CREATE PERMANENT POLITICAL POWER FOR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES
-On close of candidate filing deadline, CASA in Action Sends First
Ever Candidate Questionnaire in Targeted Districts where Latino voters can make
the difference -
Reflecting the size and
political maturity of hundreds of thousands of Latino and immigrant voters,
CASA de Maryland, the state’s largest service provider to the Latino community,
has launched a partner organization, CASA in Action, which will aggressively
engage voters in critical districts. Since January, the new organization
has attracted 5000 members and expects to grow to 20,000 by the end of the
year. And today, CASA in Action sent out questionnaires to hundreds of
candidates in 4 jurisdictions in order to collect information to inform
endorsement decisions that will be finalized August 1.
“Political engagement is a
critical forward step for the community to advance,” said Gustavo Torres,
Executive Director of CASA de Maryland.”Through our partner organization, the
Latino community will now have the opportunity to make informed voting
decisions in support of those candidates that care about our issues,” said
Torres.
In addition to candidate
questionnaires and endorsements, CASA in Action will co-host political debates,
a voter registration drive, and Get-Out-The Vote activities focused in Prince
Georges and Montgomery Counties and parts of Baltimore City and County.
At a meeting held earlier
this month, CASA in Action’s members expressed concern about a significant
number of problems common to working people across the state – how safe is it
to walk down the street, how affordable is housing, are the schools doing an
adequate job of educating children. But they were also concerned about
immigration. Many Latino voters live in mixed immigration-status families and,
particularly in Maryland, a large number of Latino voters are immigrants
themselves. Even for those with no personal relationship to immigration,
recent polls have reflected that for a super-majority of Latino voters, the
nastiness of the immigration debate is the salient factor in determining how
they sense they are treated by the broader community. In short,
immigration is the primary civil rights issue for all Latinos.

Arizona's Next Immigration Target: Children of Illegals
"Anchor
babies" isn't a very endearing term, but in Arizona those are the words
being used to tag children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants. While not
new, the term is increasingly part of the local vernacular because the primary
authors of the nation's toughest and most controversial immigration law are
targeting these tots — the legal weights that anchor many undocumented aliens
in the U.S. — for their next move.
Buoyed by recent
public opinion polls suggesting they're on the right track with illegal
immigration, Arizona Republicans will likely introduce legislation this fall
that would deny birth certificates to children born in Arizona — and thus
American citizens according to the U.S. Constitution — to parents who are not
legal U.S. citizens. The law largely is the brainchild of state Sen. Russell
Pearce, a Republican whose suburban district, Mesa, is considered the
conservative bastion of the Phoenix political scene. He is a leading architect
of the Arizona law that sparked outrage throughout the country: Senate Bill
1070, which allows law enforcement officers to ask about someone's immigration
status during a traffic stop, detainment or arrest if reasonable suspicion
exists — things like poor English skills, acting nervous or avoiding eye
contact during a traffic stop.
D.C.,
Maryland and Virginia to Arizona: “Outrage and Solidarity”
Hip hop group Cypress Hill did
it. Latina pop sensation Shakira did it. Now, a coalition of D.C., Maryland and
Virginia immigrant groups, celebrities and activists will join the massive
national mobilization against Arizona’s newly-enacted hate law SB 1070, by
gathering at noon on Saturday, May 29 at Dupont Circle for a day of artistic
expression, petitioning and marching to the White House.
“The Governor of Arizona has
attempted to enforce a law that would subject people to suspicion simply
because of how they look,” said peace activist and professional basketball
player Etan Thomas. “There are certain inalienable rights that should be
granted no matter race, nationality or color. We don't want to regress or lose
the basic principles of our country and start violating basic human rights.”
Speakers at Saturdays event will
include Latino Federation of Greater Washington Executive Director Rodrigo
Leiva, Casa de Maryland Executive Director Gustavo Torres, sportswriter David
Zirin and others who will discuss the ramifications of racial profiling,
immigration reform and the devastating effects of the law on communities of all
colors.
“Arizona’s new law, SB 1070 codifies hatred
into law, disrupts national unity and constitutes the most blatantly racist
legislation in recent memory,” said Mackenzie Baris from Jobs with Justice.
“The law is the direct result of the federal government’s reckless empowerment
of local law enforcement agencies to enforce federal immigration law.”
The event coincides with protests
taking place in Arizona and all over the country, known as the “National Day of
Action.” Locally, organizers will call on President Obama to eliminate the
so-called “Secure Communities” collaborations between local law enforcement and
immigration officials currently legal in the District, Maryland and Virginia.
