337s call, we need to understand the historical perspective in which it’s rooted. We also need to understand how visionary organizing differs from protest organizing, how Grace understands revolution, and that the way history develops means that ideas that were progressive or even revolutionary in one era, can become mental roadblocks to progress in another era.</p> 338<div class="image-clear"></div></div> 339</div> 340<div class="views-field-view-node"> 341<span class="field-content"><a href="grace-lee-boggs-visionary-organizing/index.html">Read More</a></span> 342</div> 343<div class="views-field-disqus-comments"> 344<span class="field-content"><a href="http://www.leftturn.org/node/1514#disqus_thread" class="comments" title="Jump to the comments of this posting.">Comments</a></span> 345</div> 346</div> 347<div class="views-row views-row-2 views-row-even"> 348<div class="views-field-title"> 349<span class="field-content"><a href="alabama-organizing-against-hb-56/index.html">Dispatch from Alabama: Organizing against HB 56</a></span> 350</div> 351<div class="views-field-field-author-value"> 352<label class="views-label-field-author-value"> 353By: 354</label> 355<span class="field-content"><a href="author/Ingrid%20Chapman/" title="field_author">Ingrid Chapman</a></span> 356</div> 357<div class="views-field-field-date-published-value"> 358<label class="views-label-field-date-published-value"> 359Date Published: 360</label> 361<span class="field-content">February 16, 2012</span> 362</div> 363<div class="views-field-teaser"> 364<div class="field-content"><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="inline inline-left"><img src="http://www.leftturn.org/sites/default/files/images/LT_AL15.img_assist_custom-252x252.JPG" alt="" title="" class="image image-img_assist_custom-252x252 " width="252" height="252" /></span><em>This is a message to friends, family and fellow organizers regarding the struggle in Alabama against the most extreme anti-immigrant law in the country, HB 56. The bill, titled the </em><em>Hammon-Beason Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, was signed into law in June of 2011. Although it has received a lot less coverage, it is, by all accounts, even more draconian than Arizona’s SB 1070.</em></p> 365<p class="MsoNormal">I arrived in Alabama 2 days before HB 56 went into effect with the original plan of being here for 2 weeks. That turned into 3 months. I have just returned for 6 more months to work with the Alabama Coalition for Immigrant Justice <a href="http://www.acij.net" title="www.acij.net">www.acij.net</a>. I learned about the incredibly egregious law HB 56 and I listened to my heart, which told me to respond to the call for organizing support and to go to Alabama. Now I am living in Alabama (AL), a place I never imagined myself. Every day is incredibly challenging, full of simultaneous heartbreak and inspiration and yet I am thankful to be here, working side by side with hundreds of incredible people. I believe that from this atrocity, a movement is being born that will impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, possibly millions. I know many might not know the extent of both the crisis and the subsequent developing movement to confront it, so I want to update you and ask for your feedback and support in building a national movement against this vicious anti-immigration law.</p> 366<div class="image-clear"></div></div> 367</div> 368<div class="views-field-view-node"> 369<span class="field-content"><a href="alabama-organizing-against-hb-56/index.html">Read More</a></span> 370</div> 371<div class="views-field-disqus-comments"> 372<span class="field-content"><a href="http://www.leftturn.org/node/1510#disqus_thread" class="comments" title="Jump to the comments of this posting.">Comments</a></span> 373</div> 374</div> 375<div class="views-row views-row-3 views-row-odd"> 376<div class="views-field-title"> 377<span class="field-content"><a href="US-Israel-war-on-iran/index.html">The US, Israel, and the War on Iran: Donât Let Them Fool Us Again!</a></span> 378</div> 379<div class="views-field-field-author-value"> 380<label class="views-label-field-author-value"> 381By: 382</label> 383<span class="field-content"><a href="author/Rami%20El-Amine/" title="field_author">Rami El-Amine</a></span> 384</div> 385<div class="views-field-field-date-published-value"> 386<label class="views-label-field-date-published-value"> 387Date Published: 388</label> 389<span class="field-content">February 10, 2012</span> 390</div> 391<div class="views-field-teaser"> 392<div class="field-content"><p><span class="inline inline-right"><img src="http://www.leftturn.org/sites/default/files/images/iranian%20woman%20with%20rocks.img_assist_custom-222x199.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image image-img_assist_custom-222x199 " width="222" height="199" /></span><em>The end of 2011 saw the beginnings of a shift to a more overt and aggressive policy by the US and its allies towards Iran. This shift was not the result of any new threat being posed by Iran but by the need for the US to maintain a sizeable military presence in the oil rich region after withdrawing from Iraq. The Arab revolutions are also a major factor in this shift, particularly for the US’s Gulf Arab allies and Israel. Saber rattling around Iran heightens sectarian tensions in the region and, therefore, weakens the revolutionary w
392ave which threatens the Gulf Arab monarchies.
