Isabel Cárdenas Statement in Support of Maya—Facing 7 Years in Prison for a Protest in Support of Immigrants
| Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
Maya faces seven years in prison for a SILENT PROTEST IN SUPPORT OF IMMIGRANTS. Meanwhile the demonizing, verbal and physical attacks on immigrants have escalated since the Trump/Pence Regime was imposed on the citizenry of this country by the Electoral College Vote. First it was DACA, now immigrant families who search for a life free of poverty and so much violence by seeking asylum in this country are, instead, having their children Caged, Tortured, and Sexually Abused by ICE, following orders of the Trump/Pence Administration.
The last phrase in the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance states “ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.” Neither what is stated in the Pledge of Allegiance nor the Constitution is now being practiced or respected! There is no Liberty or Justice when citizens of a particular group such as Maya, a member of the Revolution Club, are arrested and face incarceration for exercising their LIBERTY AND RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. The citizens of this country ARE NO LONGER INDIVISIBLE, UNDER GOD; they are being divided and their Human Rights are constantly violated. AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ASYLUM FOR REFUGEES? WHAT IS BEING DONE TO MAYA IS AN OUTRAGE AND A VIOLATION OF HER RIGHT OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
ALL CHARGES MUST BE DROPPED NOW!
RESPECTFULLY,
ISABEL CÁRDENAS

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
Maya (wearing “NO!” shirt) is facing seven years in prison for participating in this silent protest in solidarity with the 11 million immigrants targeted by the Trump/Pence regime. Learn more about her case here.
