OSABC would like to share this link of today's occupation of Border Patrol in particular, down below.

6 people cited after protest at Border Patrol Headquarters (KVOA.com-Tucson and Southern AZ)

Our voice, put into words in the "1st NATIONS AND MIGRANTS OPPOSE SB1070 DEMAND DIGNITY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND END TO BORDER MILITARIZATION"statement, was to our surprise, expressed succinctly in this article's line below:


"The demonstrators say they are protesting SB 1070 and any military presence at the border."


In this occupation, we came from our voice, the O'odham voice, along with other indigenous voices in the region, to address the bigger attack on indigenous/migrant communities by colonial, racist border policies/racist laws of the United States.

I'm glad that most coverage was positive of our peaceful resistance, but at the same time, I would hope the consideration and respect of our people (O'odham) is given in all coverage of this occupation. We would hope the colonial marginalization of our people, and all indigenous people, will not be continue in coverage of this occupation. We must recongnize where we are at. In southern AZ and northern Sonora, this is our traditional homelands, O'odham jewed (land).
