Tere and I are hosting a fundraising concert event for BORDER ANGELES at our house on Friday, October 2nd at 6:00-9:00PM.  I think you would agree with me that there is no more important issue affecting our people than the plight of the "UNDOCUMENTED" who continue to die on our borders and suffer the plight of living in our shadows as the "UNPROTECTED & DISRESPECTED."  Enrique Morones, our tireless warrior and the Border Angeles continue to confront some very serious financial challenges and he needs our help.
 
Joining us at this fundraising event is a great musician and friend Francisco Herrera from San Francisco "Trabajo Caminante Cultural".  You can preview his music on this link: http://www.myspace.com/franciscoherrera.  He is releasing and will sell his new CD of music and a portion will be donated to Border Angeles.
 
I would like to invite you to CO-HOST this event for a small donation of $100.00 and a commitment to persuade 10 friends to join us for a donation at the door of $25.00.    If you are willing to CO-HOST, please let me know so we can add your name to the formal invitation that will be designed and sent out on September 20th.  Also, please mail your check for $100.00 to our house 3704 Glen Verde Court, Bonita, CA 91902 made out to BORDER ANGELES.
 
I thank you in advance for your generous support and willingness to step up so we can bring an end to all the suffering and death of our people!
 
�PAZ Y JUSTICIA!
