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.
