Party down at the Arivaca spy tower Sunday!


No one protests a US spy tower like the good folks at Arivaca, Arizona!

Join us on the hilltop next to the Project 28 SBInet Tower! Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your dancing shoes. Bring a dish to share, bring your ideas on how to bring the tower down, legally of course. On Sunday, November 18th there will be a gathering beginning at 1:00 pm. We will have a concert, a potluck, and a jam session/drumming, all interspersed with reports and announcements about Homeland Security's latest invasive boondoggles.

The Arivaca spy tower is one of a network, including at least one on the Tohono O'odham Nation located next to the migrant "cage" jail cell. The spy towers are not yet working. The Arivaca spy tower has no view of the border, only of the Arivaca residents' homes.

Fighting Apartheid at the borders of Arizona and Palestine

SAN XAVIER, TOHONO O'ODHAM NATION (Arizona) -- Michelle Cook, Navajo activist, and Aida Khan, bringing support from a coalition for Palestine, at the Indigenous Peoples' Border Summit of the Americas 2007. During the summit, a delegation of Mohawks joined Native people to the so-called US/Mexico border, where they witnessed the US Apartheid Wall under construction. The lead contractor Boeing subcontracted Elbit Systems, the Israeli Defense Contractor, which is constructing security at both borders, the US Apartheid Wall at the US/Mexico Border and the Palestine/Israeli Apartheid Wall.

Although the US border spy towers on O'odham land and elsewhere on the US border are still not functioning, the border wall is under construction on Tohono O'odham Nation lands. The border wall construction has already caused Boeing to dig up the ancestors of the O'odham. It will also be a barrier to the O'odham ceremonial procession. While the Tohono O'odham Nation government promotes the wall, individual O'odham are calling out to Indigenous Peoples everywhere to support their fight against Apartheid.
