Encuentro
This is only part of a large movement against the MinuteMen, La Migra and the Border itself. Thursday night before the conference, La Raza Rights Coalition held a
community forum to present their demands around these issues to legislators. Next weekend, Sept 2-4,
BorderHack 2005 will be taking place in Tijuana. Also that weekend, on the 3rd, is a
forum against the Minutemen in Chula Vista.
The Encuentro was planned as a space to strategize about how to create a world without borders, how to effectively challenge racism and how to put an end to the Minuteman Project. These strategies will be put into action
from September 16-18th in a series of actions and a No Border Camp in Calexico.
