AVENGING ANGELS

"If you don't have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he's illegal, we can make him disappear." Those chilling words were spoken by James Pendergraph, then executive director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of State and  Local Coordination, at a conference of police and sheriffs in August 2008. Also present was Amnesty International's Sarnata Reynolds,  who wrote about the incident in the 2009 report "Jailed Without Justice" and said in an interview, "It was almost surreal being there, particularly being someone from an organization that has worked on disappearances for decades in other countries. I couldn't believe he would say it so boldly, as though it weren't anything wrong."

Nuestra visión es crear un espacio donde la comunidad latina pueda expresarse y crecer económicamente para formar una grupo mas compacto el cual se haga escuchar ante los demás sectores políticos, económicos, raciales y culturales. Creamos los medios para que la comunidad latina que radica en el norte de California crezca en todos los campos para beneficio de todos nosotros.
