WARNING: ICE AT UNIVERSAL CITYTRUDGE
<<
Qvole gente!
MEChA de CSUN just got a call from an anonymous tipster that there will be a migra raid this weekend at Universal City Walk. According to the tipster, the so-called officers are actually ICE/ Border Patrol.
He didn’t tell us exactly which concert they will be at; he only said it was a “Spanish” concert. Most likely it is the following:
Intocable
Sunday, February 24th, 2008

BEYOND BAROQUE IN TROUBLE
<<
On Tuesday February 19 Councilman Bill Rosendahl’s staff met with
City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo’s staff to take up the issue of Beyond
Baroque's lease extension.
The outcome of the meeting remains unknown as of this posting, but there is still time to organize resistance to Delgadillo's proposal to put the lease up for bidding.
Fred Dewey, the artistic director of Beyond Baroque, issued the following last weekend:
“Please write or call as directed below. This is important to our community.
Alert - A Call For Community Action
HELP PROTECT BEYOND BAROQUE, LA'S HISTORIC INSTITUION!
After much effort on everyone’s part, our Councilman Bill Rosendahl recommended a 25-year lease extension for Beyond Baroque to the City
General Services Department.
Unfortunately, it now appears the City Attorney is recommending against an extension.
We are now in great peril. Our lease is up in a few weeks and uncertainty is threatening grants, programming and our entire future.
Please express your support to the Councilman, ask him why this is happening, and what he is doing to protect Beyond Baroque.
Beyond Baroque is a vital and historic national institution and has been LA’s only literary center for four decades. Please do not let it be destroyed.
