Community Forum on Human Rights



Comp@s:

Human Rights violations are perpetuated everyday by the United States government. One form of these violations is found in the treatment of workers/refugees of the global capitalist economy; froms walls of death to the establishment of prisons where people are subject to all kinds of abuses.


Immigrant detainees at the Port Isabel Detention Center have been on HUNGER STRIKE since April 22, 2009 because they have been DENIED basic Human Rights, such as the right to due process, adequate medical attention for all detainees, access to legal resources, and are subject to physical abuse by Immigration and Custom's Enforcement (ICE) officials and prison guards.
Join members of your community in a round-table discussion on HUMAN RIGHTS.


Lets talk about what's going on in our own backyard. Lets talk about how our border comminty is home to some of the harshest, yet most concealed Human Rights abuses of our time. Lets talk, then let's TAKE ACTION. TOGETHER!

This show should definitely get your summer started well. I saw these guys last year at chaos in tejas under a different name and they were for sure one of the best bands that played the fest. They're previous name was Invasion and now they are Destino final. There was quite a few line-up changes in the band but they still have the same sound and some of the same original members.

What stands out about this band is their innovative style(which you might think isn't so innovative, but in the punk world it is ;p) of reverb on the vocals. The guitar and drums are pretty basic(fast, repetitive and thrashy). If anything I think their live performance will strike you pretty well. They know how to release energy into the crowd with their LOUD NOISE and performance.

Also not to forget, these guys have really tripped out artwork. It's great to see bands not only focusing their feelings in music but art as well.

I've noticed a lot of clocks in their artwork which could be symbolic of something?

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!! SAVE THE PLANET, KILL YOURSELF!! :B
