Cortez
Continued from PagelA
ternational Solidarity.” These
speeches will be at the University
Law School.
With aid from Cortez, the Mexi
can Solidarity Network is expect
ed to gain perspective in its focus
and goals. The organization was
originally formed last April.
MSN’s original purpose was to
help combat the war in Chiapas,
but now the organization wants to
better define its purpose.
“The Mexican Solidarity Net
work is a new organization that is
still trying to figure out what its
goals should be,” said Melanie
Jones, a member of CISCAP. “At
this conference, we are bringing to
gether various human rights groups
from Washington, California and
Oregon to exchange ideas and dis
cuss their own feelings about the
human rights violations in Mexico.
We are hoping that by the end of the
conference, we’ll have developed
solidarity for our network.”
Goldrich believes that this con
ference is an important step toward
improving the conditions in Mexi
co and toward making the MSN a
stronger, unified organization.
"CISCAP and the Mexican Soli
darity Network are interested in
change in the direction of promot
ing democracy, equity and sustain
ability in the world,” Goldrich said.
“When it educates itself to the point
where it thinks it understands what
a better policy point would be, CIS
CAP and the MSN will try to edu
cate people about that, and then try
to press for legal changes or policy
changes through local legislatures.”
Jones said human rights viola
tions should be of extreme impor
tance to everyone.
“I think the current human rights
conditions in Mexico is a really
prevalent issue for college students
because these violations are occur
ring so close to home,” Jones said.
“We can look at parallels be
tween what is happening in Mexi
co and the United States. We need
to make sure that our own govern
ment could never abuse our rights
like the Mexican government does
to its own indigenous people.”
Jamie Anderson, a sophomore,
has visited Mexico and said she
believes reform in Mexico is des
perately needed.
“While 1 was in Mexico, I saw
houses made of cardboard, garage
doors and plywood," Anderson
said. “It was depressing to realize
the extreme level of poverty in
which these people live.”
To help people better educate
themselves about the conditions
in Mexico or to become involved
with CISCAP or the MSN, every
one is invited to attend Cortez’s
two public speeches on Saturday.
Jones hopes these presentations
will be received well by the public.
“We are using Cortez to educate
the public about the human rights
situation in Mexico, and we are us
ing him to educate the public about
what we can do to help,” Jones
said. “He can help us to better un
derstand the issue of race relations
and the issue of relations between
the Mexican government and Mex
ico’s indigenous people.”
News Briefs
Activist to discuss
Hawaiian sovereignty
Dennis “Bumpy” Kanahele, a
Hawaiian sovereignty activist,
will speak Saturday at 7 p.m. in
the Multicultural Center. The
Coalition Against Environmental
Racism is sponsoring the speaker
as a preview event for the up
coming 5th Annual CAER Envi
ronmental Justice Conference.
On Jan. 16,1994, a body of elders
who serve as a Hawaiian provision
al government appointed Kanahele
as the head of state for the newly re
stored Independent and Sovereign
Nation-State of Hawaii.
Kanahele and Gordon Ka ‘ai
hue were arrested and indicted
in August 1995 by U.S. marshals
on charges of interfering with the
arrest of Nathan Brown. Brown
was a Hawaiian activist and tax
protester. Kanahele was held
without bail for three months
and is widely considered a politi
cal prisoner.
CAER’s upcoming conference,
“We Speak for Ourselves: A Call
for Change!” will take place Jan. 2
to Jan. 24,1999.
