Asylum Seekers Caravan update: flight change, two busses stopped by la migra and judicial police

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello all, A really quick update. For more deets, please check: https://asylumseekerscaravan.org. As Jessie had mentioned in a couple occasions, things there with the caravan can change from minute to minute. Well, the ticket from Mexico City had to changed for Guadalajara, and I am leaving tonight 11:20pm. One of the alerting things yesterday, is that a group of folks that went ahead in two buses, not supported by us have to clarify this, were stopped in Agua Prieta, Hermosillo. Based on a video taken by a local woman, a WhatsApp audio convo from one of the asylum seekers, and a report from Pueblo Sin Fronteras, two busses were stopped about 11pm on the night of the 15th. A child and a woman were hurt but Mexican authorities when they were forcefully were taken out the bus. They asylum seekers were scared because they were not being taken to any oficial facility and were just driven around for hours. The asylum seeker reporting at the time that things were happening said her phone was very low in charge. The Mexican authorities involved in this scary stop and arrest were the Mexican Immigration, and Judicial Police. According to one of the asylum seekers, at the moment of the arrest, middle of the night, some asylum seekers escaped. But, as things were developing, the authorities realized that they were getting themselves in a big trouble because there has been a judicial order (Amparo 16-18) given by judge, Jonathan Bass Herrera from a Court in Mexico City and notified to all authorities in the country, that the busses should not be stopped and the asylum seekers be let pass. Eventually all (about 60) were let go, some went to a refuge, and yesterday at about 5am they continue their journey to Tijuana. Also, as seen in the video, a child was with fever and the authorities were told, but as woman says, the Mexican Immigration didn't care and ignored them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=ED9QgsWs3JE Thank you to all of you for your moral support, and for your donations.

2018/11/15 A quick update about the Asylum Seekers Caravan.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, this a very quick update. * Donation Status - https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan * New Website - https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/ * Caravan and Jessie's whereabouts. * Goal Status * I am going in. *Donation Status*, out current goal is 15K and so far we have close to 6k. Please donate and you haven't done it. The website it is here: https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan *New Website*, this past Sunday I went to the Aaron Swartz Day event at the Internet Archive in SF. While there I got to see some familiar faces, and also I met more officially Steve Phillips from Noisebridge. Anyhow, to make the story short, since I have to go sleep, and wake up early for work, Steve kindly volunteered to help our group to migrate our just plain html static website to a WorkPress type, where the public and others group members can also add content. Steve and I did an all nighter right after the Aaron's event, working all night at Noisebridge and going home about 8am. Similar hacker schedule followed the next two night, which ended in our nice website. Many thanks Steve. Muy agradecido. *Jessie* followed the caravan from Mexico City to Queretaro, and then she returned to Mexico City when she learned that more asylum seekers were coming. Jessie, been talking and interviewing and learning more about the situation. T*he Goal*, which we are very laser focus, is as mentioned on my previous email and as the donation site mentions, is to provide transportation to as many we can to women, children, and LGBTQ vulnerable folks. And for what we have collected in donation, we are about to make the first trip from Mexico City to Tijuana. As Jessie reports, the situation there is very fluid, so not only things change moment to moment, but also she has to be very patience and wait for their choices. But, again, the first trip is this Sunday. *This weekend.* And the money that we have is only allowing about 60 people. We could offer more, if more folks would donate. The road I have taken many years ago, and there a very long one, and empty areas and distance town in between. Circling back to Jessie, in a way, because she is by herself, someone else (I am not sure if I can mention his name here) is coming over this Saturday. And, about half hour ago or so I bought a flight ticket to go help them both. Three of us will go with asylum seekers all the way to Tijuana. I am scheduled to arrive to Mexico City on Saturday morning. *I am going in, *and my intention is to team up with the other two in this task, and at the same time try to document the trip photographing. I am not sure how long I am going to be there, but the most that I can push it is until Dec 8. I should be uploading photos at my flickr account, so if you want to help spread the word, feel free to use those photos, they are intended to be here: https://flickr.com/danielarauz/sets, as often as it will possible. Please, if you haven't donate, please do. We really are using every single cent to support those in need.

*Trash and recycling bin reminders*

by Laura Turiano

Hi everyone, I think the trash and recycling has been working pretty well since mid October. Thanks are due to everyone who has dealt with Omni waste in any form! Yesterday I was told that the bins aren't always being put out on the sidewalk, however. So here is a reminder of who has agreed to do what, when. If any of this isn't working for you, please let me know and we can set up something else. *Monday afternoon/night: Food Not Bombs puts out brown and green bins for Tuesday pick up* *Wednesday afternoon/night: SudoRoom puts out blue recycling and cardboard (flattened and bundled with twine) for Thursday pick up.* *Thursday afternoon/night: Phat Beets puts out brown and green bins for Friday pick up* In general, if you see the bins are on the sidewalk and empty, please move them back into the trash room. Hasta la victoria - Laura

water leak in upstairs bathroom

by Jake

I have many times gone into the upstairs (near the shower) bathroom and found the hot water tap freely running. Every time I do, i turn off the supply valve from underneath, because the problem is that the faucet valve is not sealing and is likely continuing to run even when people shut it off. this is basic maintenance that's not happening. The cost of running hot water continuously is primarily energy, because the hot water heater is burning natural gas (or is it electricity?) to heat fresh drinking water that's then being sent down the drain. The solution is to re-valve or replace the hot water faucet in the upstairs bathroom so it shuts off properly. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2018 23:26:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> To: discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org, building(a)lists.omnicommons.org Subject: water leak in upstairs bathroom i feel like i wrote this email a while ago but i'm not sure. the bathroom in the corner of the upstairs bathroom (next to the kitchen) hot water faucet is leaking, flowing openly continuously, unless it is vigorously forced off. This does not happen. when i go into that bathroom (which is not often) i see that the hot water is just flowing. Because the seal in the valve is worn out. So i turned off the service valve under the sink to turn off the water to the faulty valve. But someone else turns it back on. and then people leave the water on. Omni has probably used thousands of gallons and hundreds of dollars in water alone, not to mention the wasted energy and money of heating all that hot water that's then flowing into the sewers. I am not going to replace the valve, but i'm here to point out the problem and hopefully someone will fix it. If not, i'll block off the pipe since it's something I know how to do, but it would be a waste of effort since it needs to be repaired properly anyway. will someone please confirm they'll take care of this? -jake
