Speaking out: for kidnapped children and against our national demons

In anticipation of civil disobedience, Erudite Partner was asked to explain why she was protesting at Otay Mesa immigrant detention jail to a reporter from Bay Area station KQED.

As usual, she was animated and articulate.

Reporter John Sepulvado's report from Otay Mesa is an observant, accurate account of the weekend's actions.

WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

Living amidst violence rapidly constricting hope for a safer, sustainable, more equitable, and happier community and nation, what is to be done?

There's more to be done than I can envision or perhaps even imagine. People who suffer -- whether for being different, for trying to control their bodies, from randomly encountering some gun fetishist, from climate disruption, or simply for lacking cash -- need to be cared for. In some places and moments, some people have to raise a ruckus in the streets.
