Boycott Arizona... here's how: A basic consumer guide

by Joel Tena

cartoon by Lalo Alcaraz

(full disclosure: I have not heard any of the national immigrant and/or Latino organizations taking on the task of informing the community of which businesses/organizations to target, so I did a quick websearch and found what I found that the average consumer outside of Arizona might be able to use. This list is not comprehensive, nor is it as strategic as it needs to be. Apologies in advance... -Joel)

Greetings friends and allies,

In the wake of the recent adoption into law of SB1070 by the State of Arizona today (04.23.2010), one of the most draconian anti-immigration laws ever in the United States, many people have called for a boycott of the State of Arizona, including southwestArizona Congressman Raúl Grijalva. Personally, I haven't been to Arizona in five years and do not plan on going there any time soon. I created this list to give folks/average consumers outside of Arizona a chance to show their disgust with the passage of this racist legislation by boycotting the following, Arizona-based companies.

2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Location: Chase Field, Phoenix, AZ

Apollo Group (University of Phoenix). Headquarters: Phoenix, Arizona

Arizona Diamondbacks, Location: Phoenix, Arizona

Best Western International, Inc., Headquarters: Phoenix, Arizona

Cold Stone Creamery. Headquarters: Scottsdale, Arizona

CSK Auto (Checker Auto Parts, Schucks Auto Supply, Kragen Auto Parts, Murray's Discount Auto Stores), Headquarters: Phoenix, Arizona

Dial Corporation, Headquarters: Scottsdale, Arizona

Discount Tire Company (America's Tire Company). Headquarters: Scottsdale, Arizona

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, Headquarters: Scottsdale, Arizona

Go Daddy. Headquarters: Scottsdale, Arizona

Grand Canyon

Mesa Air Group (Mesa Airlines, Go!, Freedom Airlines). Headquarters: Phoenix, Arizona

P. F. Chang's China Bistro. Headquarters: Phoenix, Arizona

PetSmart. Headquarters: Phoenix, Arizona

Sky Mall, Headquarters: Phoenix, Arizona

Taser International, Headquarters: Scottsdale, Arizona

U-Haul. Headquarters: Phoenix, Arizona

US Airways. Headquarters: Tempe, Arizona

It would be helpful to also target the political contributors to Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce and Governor Jan Brewer. I unfortunately do not have that capacity but would welcome others in this endeavour.

Also, encourage your local municipalities to take action. Ask your elected officials to follow the lead of the City of San Francisco and boycott and begin to divest in the State of Arizona. According to SF Supervisor David Campos, "We encourage other cities to join San Francisco. Together we can work to restore justice in our nation."

New Student Organization at UCR

The Living Poet's Society will be having one of its first meetings this Thursday from 6:00pm to 7:00pm in INTS 1006.

So why not celebrate with a poem written by a fellow southern Californian? Here is "Not Yours" by Shannon Garcia.

Not Yours.
That's what it says on my left wrist...
something i had tattooed on my flesh,
something simple to understand.
But lately, i find, when people read
they get mixed messages
jumping to conclusions and assumptions saying:
"Damn! That's mean" or
"I can see your not happy" or
"What a teeeeease!" or
"I feel sorry for anyone you've ever dated."
Not yours.
Not yours in the sense that this is not yours to interpret
because this is on my flesh and
mine belongs to my and my is I, so I am mine
and i can't possibly be yours.
Not yours in the sense that i am not an object to
contain confine possess or design...
We are women.
Born branded with the last names of men who raped our female ancestors
Wombs poisoned with their hunger
for power love and authority through acts of hatred
and yet we still bare their children
hoping that someday instead of war games
our sons will grow to choose compassion over consumption,
hugs over guns, and love
above all pride prejudice and vengeance.
And if i could doctrine a new last name it would be
NOT YOURS
and i would staple tape slap superglue it behind every woman's name
because how many times, how many times must we call our women
baby honey darlin sweet sugaaaaar bitch slut cunt whore
before we realize that this is the rape of our women's identity
a subsequent attack on her individuality
a bottle, a bow built around her insecurities
preventing her from obtaining what she is more than worthy of
bombs dropped on her mind, soul, body
because if this is the day and age of peace and equality
then i resist.
because if being a woman means
covering my flesh to help men resist temptation to rape me
with their eyes, hands...instead of proudly displaying my curves
as a dignified piece of art instead of a piece of meat
then a woman, i am not.
because if being a woman means
covering my eyes to the suffering of other women at any time
then a woman i am not.
because if being a woman means
controlling my estrogen levels is the only way to be
respected and successful
then a woman i am not
because if being a woman means raising sons that will hold guns
against other women and their babies
then a woman, i am not.
because if being a woman means i'm
a bitch because i resist any verbal or physical attack on my femininity
a slut because i refuse to marry
a dyke because i choose to love other women
and a shame because i refuse to bare children
in a world filled with chaos scorn and hatred
then a woman, i am not.
but i most definitely am
Not Yours.

How To Help Haiti

Below is a list of links where you can go to help with earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.

It is unfortunate, however, that in the midst of a crisis when so many want to help, some people make things worse. Televangelist Pat Robertson, one of the richest personalities on television (with a net worth of nearly a $1,000,000,000.00), stated earlier today that Haiti made a pact with the devil and it therefore is now paying the consequences. It's funny how far people are willing to lie:



An ambassador to Haiti retaliated against Robertson's words:
