I'm going too to Postville on Sunday, along with Martha Contreras and 3 other people. I rsvp'ed for the JCUA bus, but haven't heard back yet if they have enough room. Anyway, one way or another we'll get there. I heard there is going to be a counterprotest organized by the right-wing Federation for Fair Immigration Reform, a group with ties to the Minutemen. All the more reason to go and make the turnout for our side stronger.

Our Jewish tradition mandates that wespeak out on behalf ofthose who cannot defend themselves and stand up forthe human rights of allpeople.*

Nearly 400men, women and children(!!!) were arrested at the Agriprocessors factory.Almost 300 of theseworkers remain in prison, awaiting deportation tothe countries they fled.Most of them are the primary wage-earners for theirfamilies, meaning thathundreds of women and more than 500 children inPostville currently strugglewithout money for food, housing, counseling or legalservices. They aretotally dependent on Postville's Catholic communityand on JCUA andcompassionate Jewish donors.
