Subject: [The word/promise is what's left] – URGENT call from Canary Islands.
Very important to support the Tenerife HHRR Platform Manifest.



Hello friends:



We are in constant communication with Canary Is., the situation there is
very serious and social movements are overwhelmed, not only by concerns and
work, but also by the powerlessness to confront the "Estate monster" that
with its machinery aims to continue squeezing human beings.  According to
some friends from Canary Is., society down there remains unresponsive;
however, since it feels damaged, it is reacting against immigrants.  A
recent example of this: During a recent celebration in a
Tenerifeneighborhood a small container with dolls dresses as
immigrants was set on
fire.



Some ultra-right movements are already intimidating through the use of fear,
by calling the population to defend their territory under a so-called
"invasion".  You can read it in the attached document: "Democracia Nacional"
(National Democracy) which announces the gathering the 15th of this month in
Tenerife.



Meanwhile, the Estate's main parties and the European Union do not cease on
the "illegal immigrants", "defeat the massive arrivals", "training centers"
and "immediate deportation" subjects.  Making the population believe – with
complicity from the media - that it is really an invasion and using
ridiculous prejudices to manipulate our thoughts and convince us that we
have to defend from it.  As you can see, both the PSOE and the PP are
encouraging this racist line of thought, and from our point of view, they
coincide almost in their totality with the ultra-right movements.



We are also attaching the Manifesto prepared by the Human Rights Platform,
against racism and xenophobia. "We are all Immigrants".  We ask that you
unite in this call to strengthen the unity among all social collectives
regardless of where the injustice emerges.  Today is Canary Is. and the
situation is urgent and needs it.



Two activists from the Collective "The word/promise is what's left" will be
traveling to collaborate with overseas social movements and bring to the
peninsula all their questions and needs, as well as those immigrants who had
been detained, allegedly by the central government, under inhuman
circumstances.  If there is any other activist that would like to accompany
us in this trip, please contact us via telephone.  It would be convenient
that a group of us attended Canary Is.



We cannot stop at denouncing this, and at the peaceful protest against this
injustice.  It is time to act united, in a quick and coordinated way.  Silence
and passiveness turns as into accomplices of these acts.



Due to the emergency of this situation, we beg you -- once again -- to
circulate this message around your contact list.



If you want to subscribe to the Canary Is. Manifesto written by the Human
Rights Platform against Racism and Xenophobia "we are all immigrants" you
can do it by sending a email to
