Chilenes en el Exterior y Retornados:
No a la “Nueva” Ley de Migración de Chile
Compartimos la declaración pública firmada por cientos de ciudadanas y ciudadanos chilenos en el exterior, retornadas y retornados, que invita a rechazar la Ley de Migración que actualmente está en tramitación en el Senado, por su enfoque racista, selectivo, sexista y xenófobo y a construir un proyecto de Ley en conjunto con las organizaciones sociales.

Chile, a lo largo de su historia, ha sido testigo de diversos procesos migratorios. Así también, el mundo ha recibido a miles de personas chilenas, especialmente durante la dictadura militar y, más actualmente, a los miles de estudiantes que deben salir, por ejemplo a países vecinos, para acceder a una educación digna y de calidad.
Creemos que es indiscutible la necesidad de una nueva ley de migración. Sin embargo, sin participación social, este proceso no pasa de ser una urgencia impuesta por parte del gobierno actual, que no considera ningún instrumento legal, que ignora activamente a la sociedad civil y sus articulaciones, que transgrede los derechos fundamentales y protectivos, y sobre todo, que pasa a llevar la inestable contingencia sanitaria y sus efectos socioeconómicos sobre chilenes y migrantes.
Como chilenes reconocemos que simbólica, política y jurídicamente, la relación con las/les/los migrantes en Chile ha sido y es racista, selectiva y xenófoba.
Actualmente la legislación que rige la migración en Chile es el Decreto Ley 1094, que fue creado y aprobado bajo la dictadura militar en el año 1975, y que opera en conjunto con el DFL 69, de 1953.
En los gobiernos de S. Piñera y M. Bachelet fueron presentados proyectos prácticamente iguales y sin cambios sustantivos para la creación de una nueva la ley. Ambos proyectos continúan con un enfoque racista, selectivo, sexista y xenófobo. Las indicaciones al actual proyecto, que data de 2013, fueron realizadas por el gobierno de S. Piñera el año 2018. Este proyecto ya fue aprobado por la Cámara de Diputados y ahora, a mediados de julio de
2020, está en su segunda instancia en el Senado.
Lamentablemente esto representa un retroceso significativo en cuanto al respeto de los derechos fundamentales de las y los migrantes. Desconoce los convenios firmados por el Estado chileno, como las disposiciones de la Convención Internacional sobre protección de los derechos de todas y todos los trabajadores migratorios y de sus familiares, el Pacto de Derechos Civiles y Políticos, el Pacto de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales, entre
otros.
En Chile se están aprobando leyes sin participación social, solo diseñadas por unos pocos para imponerlas a todas las personas que viven en el territorio Chileno, e ignorando también la participación de personas chilenas en el exterior. Nuestro mensaje es No a la “Nueva” Ley de Migración.
Esta ley afecta a todas las personas migrantes en Chile, como también a las personas chilenas que vivimos en el exterior.
Hace más de 2 décadas diversas organizaciones sociales vienen buscando modificar esta ley, pero ante la situación global de pandemia no existen las condiciones para generar un
amplio consenso y debate público. Estamos conscientes de que estas prácticas del gobierno atentan contra la Democracia, considerando que actualmente vivimos en un Estado de Emergencia Constitucional debido a la crisis sanitaria por el COVID-19, pero sobre todo porque nos recuerdan cómo fue creada la constitución dictatorial de Pinochet.
Este proyecto de ley no contempla la visión de género ni promueve la garantía de los derechos, su redacción es dudosa, delegando la responsabilidad a la voluntad política del gobierno de turno, para que éste evalúe aplicar o no medidas en incentivo al ejercicio de nuestros derechos como chilenos y chilenas en el exterior.
Quienes firmamos esta declaración somos personas chilenas que vivimos en el exterior o que fuimos migrantes en algún período de nuestras vidas, lo que nos hace percibir que las políticas de retorno seguro no están transparentadas en el proyecto de ley. Una vez más, el retorno a nuestro país de origen, así como el de otras y otros emigrantes chilenes, queda desprotegido por la Ley y en manos de un gobierno que no asegura nuestra integridad. Mismo gobierno que hoy desea aprobar, lo más rápido posible, este proyecto de ley, y que
busca hacerlo sin la participación de la ciudadanía a quien directamente afecta su promulgación.
Estamos conscientes de que existe una demanda de las comunidades chilenas en el exterior que no ha sido considerada en este proyecto (https://www.change.org/p/una-ley-de-retorno-para-los-chilenos-en-el-exterior), como también notamos la falta de especificación sobre el rol de embajadas y consulados, lo que perjudica su eficacia. Consideramos que el proyecto de Ley genera dudas y contiene vacíos.
Es por todo lo anterior que consideramos fundamental la postergación del debate del proyecto de ley y la participación política activa de las personas y organizaciones migrantes y refugiadas en el país, así como de las personas y organizaciones chilenas migrantes. Sólo así será posible contar con un proyecto de Ley que garantice, y no solamente “promueva” nuestros derechos.
¡Exigimos un proyecto de ley construído en conjunto con las organizaciones!

As fights and names are bandied about, an image for Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contenders Series develops
Joey
June 11th, 2017
So Dana White's Tuesday Night Contenders series is slowly approaching it's July 11th kick off date; basically a month off. There's a collection of reasons why the series is happenin' (desire to get guys fights, boost the FP library, IMO test the capacity of having a weekly UFC mini series for TV networks) BUT whatever the case, it has the chance to give guys who might otherwise be left out of the UFC a chance to get in and guys who maybe are good enough to be in the UFC but have faced way too tough competition to maybe reset themselves a little and get their career back on track. The only guarantee we've had thus far is that there's five fights a week every Tuesday for the summer but what can we expect necessarily? Well some fights AND fighters are beginning to filter out now and what've we got?
Joby Sanchez (9-2) vs Manny Vasquez (11-2)- July 11th
If the name Joby Sanchez is familiar to you then it's because he's a former UFC fighter who went 1-2 in the organization before he got released. Sanchez is still a very young fighter (25 years old) so it's not a bad fighter to give a second chance by any stretch. Manny Vasquez is another familiar name; a guy who probably should've been in the UFC after defeating RIcardo Ramos on an Legacy card Dana and company went to for Looking For A Fight. Unfortunately he didn't get the call up (Cody East did :/) but alas alack and all that. He's gone 2-1 since the LFAF opportunity and is another very young BW at 23 years old. These are the sort of fights I can get behind.
Zu Anywanu (13-4) vs TBA- July 11th
This kind of feels overdue to be entirely honest. The big HW Azunna Anywanu who has performed for CFFC is scheduled to fight with no real opponent penciled in as of yet (or announced as of yet). I thought around 2015 or so when the UFC's HW division was truly in dire straights they'd give him the call up but he always seemed to either never put on the performances needed or just flat out lost. He'll be coming into this riding a four fight winning streak. I don't think he's going to really make a run, as one would put it, but if all HW fights are lottery tickets then you might as well swing big when you get the chance.
Boston Salmon (5-1) vs Ricky Turcios (8-0) - July 25th
So I'll admit off the bat I know little about Ricky Turcios beyond his spotless record. The focus for me is on Boston Salmon; blessed name with blessed skills. Found out of the Tuff-N-Udd amateur system, Salmon put on a pretty decent stretch of wins and was carving his niche as a great young up and coming action fighter. In his last fight, he beat up on Zack Riley (who was coming off an upset win over Hugo "Wolverine" Vianna) and got screwed on the judges scorecards. This is a pretty good fight.
Sean O'Malley (6-0) vs Alfred Khashakyan (8-3)- July 18th
I know more about Khasakyan first and foremost so I guess we'll start there. Khashakyan was basically an outsourced fight for the Maine Lookin' For A Fight show that got Ricardo Ramos signed. Ramos beat Khashakayan in the main event but then Khashakyan rebounded to finish Chris Beal in his next fight out. Nothing gets you a look from the UFC like beating a guy who used to be there. Sean O'Malley trains out in Arizona with guys like John Moraga, Bryan Barberena and Lauren Murphy. Both guys are bantamweights which seems to fit the theme thus far on what they're targeting.
Dan Ige (7-1) vs Luis Gomez (4-0)- July 25th
I know nothing about either guy other than to note that Luis Gomez is undefeated and fights primarily in Miami for the same promotion that gave us such GOATs like Platinum Mike Perry and Alex Nicholson.
Kyle Noblitt (8-0) vs TBA- July 25th
A doughy bodied HW, Noblitt apparently is making the drop down to 205 lbs to compete on the show. Again I have little to no idea about the guy to be honest so rather than lie and deceive y'all, I'll just say "No idea" and move on.
Daniel Jolly (5-2) vs TBA- Date TBA
Maybe Jolly vs Noblitt is up soon?
Chase Waldon (11-2) vs Gabriel Checco (10-2)- July 25th
Eeeeeeeghhh.....I think we've hit the wall now on things. Chase Waldon vs Gabriel Checco is a fight at middleweight which of course features the usual at 185 lbs. A lot of slow clunky guys (which they are) and in the case of Checco, a penchant for boring fights. Waldon isn't much better in the two fights I saw of him but whatevs. Both fighters are over 30 years old as well which I mean it is what it is.
Michael Cora vs TBA- Date TBA
Another under 30 fighter who competed for Titan Fighting. Cora had a killer KO his last time out but the rest of his career has been in obscurity. Still I like the idea of rewarding guys who have some Fight Pass exposure getting another chance on the big brand even if it's a one off chance. Fought at 170 and middleweight (with a weird catchweight bout at 200 lbs thrown in too).
Sidney Outlaw vs TBA- Date TBA
Was rumored to have been signed for the big league off of LFAF but looks like Outlaw at 8-3 will be fighting on Tuesday Night Contenders. A guy who can bounce between a few weight classes.
So what is Tuesday Night Contenders at this point? Well nobody knows. Most of these fights are basically unconfirmed as of right now and the rumored UFC vet vs debuting prospect fights aren't here as of yet. The "get some guys some fights" filler proponent is also absent during the early portions. We'll see how the visual continues to develop but as of right now, Dana White's Tuesday Night Contenders Series looks like it's got a pretty easy theme to it. Hyped prospects who aren't good enough to get signed to the UFC right away and fighters who are probably under the radar getting opportunities. Most of them are under 30 years old as well so there's clearly an onus on younger fighters. The relatively small collection of names (five fights for two months means we're about to get a ton of signings) so far is good but not great but they do paint a pretty clear visual of what we're getting here. If they expand it a little (fighters from other countries would be awesome) and maybe give us some names for guys who are clinging to their careers in the UFC (Ross Pearson really jumps out to me) then this coul dbe a fantastic little project.
(Kudos to mma_kings and mmawizzard on twitter for doing most of the hard work collecting these fights plus all the management teams trumpeting the signings)

Kitchen Sessions with Imani Sims and CD Forum
(Friday, April 26, 2019) 7 PM - 9 PM @ Seattle Art Museum
1300 1st Ave, Seattle, Washington 98101
In celebration of "Jeffrey Gibson: Like a Hammer," SAM has partnered with poet and educator Imani Sims and The Central District Forum for Arts and Ideas for an evening that explores themes of the exhibition. Entry to the exhibition is included with ticket purchase. bit.ly/SAMKitchenSessions
Kitchen Sessions are an opportunity to celebrate Black femme and non-binary identified artists as they reflect on and discuss with an intergenerational audience.
The Kitchen seems like the place where nourishment is found. Not only food but also valuable lessons. Little girls go from childhood to the kitchen. At some point, we graduate into womanhood. What is the rite of passage that allows you to enter the sacred space of the kitchen?
It functions as an epicenter, a doorway into a space where it is safe to examine the crooked room. It is safe to talk about the long list of things we experience as Black women. As our hands conjure nourishment, our mouths begin to form spells and we reshape our reality for a moment.

Sacred Breath: Writing and Storytelling
(Wednesday, May 1, 2019) 6:30-8:30 PM @ wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ - Intellectual House
This event features writer and Sacred Breath founder, Elissa Washuta (Cowlitz) and local northwest storyteller Sondra Segundo (Haida).
Storytelling offers a spiritual connection, a sharing of sacred breath. Literature, similarly, preserves human experience and ideals. Both forms are durable and transmit power that teaches us how to live. Both storytelling and reading aloud can impact audiences through the power of presence, allowing for the experience of the transfer of sacred breath as audiences are immersed in the experience of being inside stories and works of literature.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Elissa Washuta is a member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe and a writer of personal essays and memoir. She is the author of two books, Starvation Mode and My Body Is a Book of Rules, named a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. With Theresa Warburton, she is co-editor of the anthology Shapes of Native Nonfiction, forthcoming from University of Washington Press. She has received fellowships and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, Artist Trust, 4Culture, Potlatch Fund, and Hugo House. Elissa is an assistant professor of English at the Ohio State University.
Sondra Segundo is an artist and singer of the Haida language. She is an educator and has worked with youth in schools and programs throughout the Northwest, teaching art and sharing her Indigenous children’s books and songs. Everything Sondra does tells a story. Her composed Haida songs tell a story. Her illustrations in her books tell a story. Her movements while she dances, tell a story. Although she is individually accomplished in each of these facets of her life, they are all intertwined by her passion—storytelling. Recently, Sondra has been recruited by tribal-funk band Khu.eex’ as lead female vocalist and has performed at venues such as The Paramount Theater & Upstream Music Fest. She released her first personal music album “Díi Gudangáay uu Síigaay-I Can Feel the Ocean” on 8-8-18.

(Wednesday, April 24) 7:30-9 PM @ Town Hall Seattle
How do we trace the stories of our parents’ lives alongside that of our own self-discovery? Celebrated author and pioneering queer Latina feminist Cherríe Moraga presents Town Hall audiences with her own intergenerational narrative in Native Country of the Heart: A Memoir, charting a personal coming-of-age alongside her mother’s decline, and also tells the larger story of the Mexican American diaspora. Moraga charts her mother’s—journey from an impressionable young girl to a battle-tested matriarch to an old woman suffering under the yoke of Alzheimer’s—while simultaneously tracing her own self-discovery of her gender-queer body and Lesbian identity, as well as her passion for activism and the history of her pueblo. Join Moraga for a reckoning with white American history and a piercing love letter from a fearless daughter to the mother she will never lose.
Cherríe Moraga is a writer and cultural activist whose work serves to disrupt the dominant narratives of gender, race, sexuality, feminism, indigeneity, and literature in the United States. A co-founder of Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press, Moraga co-edited the highly influential volume This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color in 1981. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Theatre Playwriting Fellowship Award and a United States Artist Rockefeller Fellowship for Literature.

From Palestine to Mexico, All the Walls Have Got to Go!
(Monday, May 20, 2019) 7 PM - 9 PM @ Southside Commons
3518 S Edmunds St, Seattle, Washington 98118
These days, the headlines are filled with Trump's proposal for a border wall, news about brutal family separation policies and baby jails at the border, police murdering Black people in the US, Islamophobic attacks, accusations that Congresswoman Omar is "anti-semitic" because of her criticism of US foreign policy in Israel, and anti-boycott legislation at the federal and state levels. How are all these things connected? What does it mean to build a powerful movement for change that connects these issues and wins change that actually reduces the harms of systems of policing, imprisonment, border enforcement, and colonial dispossession? Join us for a conversation between Maru Mora Villalpando and Nada Elia
Maru is the community organizer at the forefront of work aiming to close the Northwest Detention Center. She has been targeted by the Trump administration for deportation based on her activism and works to build a radical, visionary, border and prison abolitionist migrant justice grassroots movement in our region and nationally. Nada Elia is a diaspora Palestinian writer, organizer, and teacher who was one of the first activists to work to expose how US law enforcement trains with the Israeli military and to build coalitional feminist work to oppose it. Maru and Nada will be talking about the overlapping and interconnected law enforcement technologies being used to target migrants to the US, US communities of color, and Palestinians, and exploring how we build internationalist anti-law enforcement and anti-military resistance. This event aims to strengthen all our imaginations and strategies for building safety through solidarity, not law enforcement.

Seattle Launch: Tongue-Breaker
(Tuesday, May 14, 2019) 7 PM - 9 PM @ Third Place Books Seward Park 5041 Wilson Ave S, Seattle, Washington 98118
Seattle family, please come celebrate the New York launch of writer Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha's latest book of poetry, Tonguebreaker.
Tonguebreaker is about surviving the unsurvivable: living through hate crimes, the suicides of queer kin, and the rise of fascism while falling in love and walking through your beloved's neighbourhood in Queens. Building on LLPS' groundbreaking work in Bodymap, Tonguebreaker is an unmitigated force of disabled queer-of-colour nature, narrating disabled femme-of-colour moments on the pulloff of the 80 in West Oakland, the street, and the bed. Tonguebreaker dreams unafraid femme futures where we live -- a ritual for our collective continued survival.

Informaron sobre constitución del Consejo Pastoral para la Reconstrucción.
La medida facilita y asegura la efectiva participación de la comunidad en la Mesa de Trabajo que los reúne con el Gobierno Regional y el Municipio de Pozo Almonte en torno a la reconstrucción del templo.
Desde que ocurrió el incendio que consumió completamente la iglesia de Mamiña el pasado 8 de enero, se han generado distintas acciones en pos de avanzar en su reconstrucción, entendiendo que está directamente relacionado con la mejora en la calidad de vida de todas y todos en el territorio, al ser parte del patrimonio cultural de la región.
La última de ellas fue anunciada ayer, en una ceremonia religiosa dirigida por el Obispo de Iquique, Monseñor Guillermo Vera, donde participó el Gobernador del Tamarugal, Rubén Moraga, y el diputado Hugo Gutiérrez, invitado por la comunidad.
Allí, se informó sobre el decreto que constituye el Consejo Pastoral y de Reconstrucción de la Parroquia Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Mamiña, instancia que en una de sus funciones y responsabilidades, debe garantizar la coordinación entre las partes y la verdadera interacción con la comunidad, consolidando y definiendo su rol en la Mesa de Trabajo constituida junto al Gobierno Regional y el Municipio de Pozo Almonte el pasado 9 de enero.
“Lo importante es que nos compromete a hacer un trabajo con todos, con la comunidad y con las autoridades. Estábamos esperando la gestión con el Subsecretario, ahora estamos avanzando en el estudio del templo, y tenemos una carta que pedimos a la comunidad indígena, que es la dueña del territorio para comenzar las gestiones que faltan para la reconstrucción”, dijo Bernardo Cautín, presidente del Consejo recién constituido.
Una instancia destacada por el Gobernador Rubén Moraga, ya que garantiza una verdadera interacción con la comunidad, en la Mesa de Trabajo, que busca facilitar también, la bajada de información de gestiones que hagan las autoridades respecto de la reconstrucción, contexto en el que agradeció la gestión realizada por el diputado Gutiérrez ante el Subsecretario de Desarrollo Regional, para que acogiera la solicitud y agilizara la reconstrucción de la iglesia.
“Felicitar la constitución de este Consejo. El llamado es a seguir trabajando coordinados y con paciencia, porque son procesos lentos, trabajos que se deben hacer con minuciosidad para que la restauración sea la correcta. Además quiero agradecer al diputado Gutiérrez por sumarse a las gestiones que planeamos como Gobierno en torno a la restauración de la Iglesia, siguiendo los lineamientos establecidos por nuestra Presidenta Michelle Bachelet en cuanto a participación, y entendiendo que el rescate patrimonial al que apostamos, va de la mano con la mejora en la calidad de vida de todas y todos”, explicó el Gobernador Moraga.
El parlamentario por el distrito número dos que abarca las siete comunas de la región, el Diputado Hugo Gutiérrez, también destacó la organización del Consejo y se dispuso a trabajar con ellos para garantizar una reconstrucción participativa.
“Quiero manifestar mi compromiso con la restauración de esta parroquia, en la medida que trabajemos en unidad y concordia. Lo que tiene que surgir, tiene que hacerlo producto de lo que ustedes también quieren. Yo no estaré por sobre los deseos de su iglesia y de esta comunidad. Lo único que les pido, es que trabajemos todos unidos por un fin bastante noble, que es reconstruir esta Parroquia. Trabajemos inspirados, con buena vocación, ya que los objetivos se logran cuando uno trabaja unido y se pone lo mejor de uno”, dijo el parlamentario.
Finalmente, el obispo Vera también enfatizó en la importancia del trabajo conjunto y respetuoso.
“El trabajo de todos es importante, pero en comunión, en orden, en espíritu de familia, de Iglesia como queremos ser” dijo pidiendo la bendición al trabajo que se está realizando.
Cabe precisar que la Mesa de Trabajo quedó de reunirse en las próximas semanas, para determinar la realización de próximas actividades masivas en la localidad y los avances en limpieza y proyectos de trabajo.
