Los Angeles - Bulletin Board

Hello all - at our recent MESJ Los Angeles meeting, one of the members suggested that we set up a group so that we can discuss Mormonism and politics. The group thought this would be a great idea so I've set up a yahoo group for MESJ folks in Southern California. The group is set up so that anyone can join and anyone can post a theme for a discussion and/or an upcomming event.

I encourage all of you to join the yahoo group. To do so you need to click on the link below and click on the "join the group" button on the upper right side of the page when it opens up. Here's the link:

Mark Vallen's 'Art for a Change' ispires people in Los Angeles and everywhere with socially conscious artworks in the realist tradition. Mark: "I have faith in the ability of art to heal, transform, educate, and uplift - powers that are needed now more than ever before."

In March 2006 a small group of MESJ members joined 500,000 to 1 million people at a march in downtown Los Angeles to protest legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives which would further criminalize illegal immigration and undocumented workers. This legislation was seen by many as a racist and draconian response to the influx of the largely Latino workforce that has entered the country without proper documentation. Of course it is immigrant workers, both past and present, who have literally made this country what it is. It was a very gratifying and uplifting experience to participate in this action. A number of Latino demonstrators thanked our small caucasian group for our support. An injury to one is an injury to all and the people of the world need to stand together against all forms of oppression and tyranny. Watch some great media pictures of the event.
