HELLO EVERYONE MY NAME IS CRYSTAL NARCHO ONE OF THE MANY MECHISTAS
AT TUCSON HIGH SCHOOL. WE JUST WANTED TO INFORM EVERYONE OF OUR
PLANS FOR WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 14, 2007. WE WILL BE HAVING A VIGIL IN
FRONT OF THE DOWNTOWN POLICE STATION TO CONTINUE THE DIOLOUGE OF
WHAT HAPPEN AT CATALINA HIGH SCHOOL STARTING AT 6:30 p.m. WE WOULD
LIKE EVERYONE TO COME OUT IN SUPPORT WE ASK THAT EVERYONE WEAR WHITE
AND TO PLEASE BRING NO FLAGS THANK YOU. ONCE AGAIN IT IS A VIGIL SO
IF YOU CAN PLEASE BRING CANDLES DRESS IN WARM CLOTHES BECAUSE IT
WILL START TO GET COLD. WE HOPE TO BE YOU THERE!
"POLICE SHOULDN'T BE IMMIGRATION"
EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE DONE ABOUT THE CATALINA'S ISSUE IS FOR A
REASON, AND OF COURSE AS WELL THE VIGIL HAS A SUPPOSE.
THE REASONS ARE AS FOLLOWED:
WE KNOW THE IMMIGRATION ARE NOT ALLOWED ON SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES
ACCORDING TO AN AGREEMENT BUT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AS A LAW.
POLICE AND IMMIGRATION SHOULD WORK SEPARATE DO YOUR OWN JOB NOT
COMBINED.
WE WANT IMMIGRATION TO STAY OUT OF OUR COMMUNITIES, NOT JUST SCHOOLS
AND CHURCHES, WE SHOULD FEEL SAFE TO WALK OUT OF OUR HOMES.
WE SHOULD ALL FEEL SAFE WHEN A POLICE IS AROUND. EVERYONE SHOULD BE
ABLE TO ASK FOR HELP WITHOUT BEING SCARED TO BE DEPORTED.
WE SHOULD BE TREATED AS HUMANS NOT ANIMALS. WE DEMAND RESPECT.
THANKS ONCE AGAIN WE HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE THERE IT NOT ONLY A
M.E.Ch.A. THING SO BRING YOUR FAMILY, NEIGHBORS, NANA'S, TATA'S,
ANYONE IS WELCOME TO COME. IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS YOU CAN
CALL ME AT 520-235-9760. THANKS!
