Mujeres Unidas invites you to listen to our podcast. Join us as we sit down and talk about the cycle of violence. The cycle of violence is a tool developed by researcher Lenore Walker. Walker created this tool to describe the cyclical nature of battering and its effect on victims. There are three phases in the cycle of violence: (1) Tension-Building Phase, (2) Acute or Crisis Phase, and (3) Calm or Honeymoon Phase. Without intervention, the frequency and severity of the abuse tends to increase over time. This cycle makes it difficult to break free from an abusive partner.

Arizona's SB 1070 put immigration enforcement in the national spotlight.  Soon after Arizona proposed the broadest and strictest immigration law in the country, activists organized mass protests and at least five other states began the process to adopt similar laws. A judge has stopped portions of 1070—for now.  But the legal and ideological battles continue. On this edition, we look at SB 1070 – the law, its intentions and effects, and how its motivated immigrant communities to become politically active.   Featuring:    Marisa Franco, Right to the City national lead organizer; Andrea Christina Mercado, Mujeres Unidas Activas organizing director; John Bouma, attorney for the state of Arizona; Edwin Kneedler, U.S. Deputy Solicitor General; Juana Tello, People Organized to Win Employment Rights organizer; Charlotte Noss, protester; Steven Chan, protester.   For More Information: Right to the City http://www.righttothecity.org/   Mujeres Unidas y Activas http://www.mujeresunidas.net/ San Francisco, Bay Area, CA   Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf   Pew Hispanic Center http://pewhispanic.org/ Washington, D.C.   Immigration Policy Center http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/ Washington, D.C.   Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project http://www.firrp.org/ Florence, AZ   Border Action Network http://www.borderaction.org/web/index.php Tucson, AZ   Arizona Coalition for Migrant Rights http://migrantrights.org/main/ Phoenix, AZ   The post Making Contact – Arizona's SB 1070: The Battle for Immigrants' Rights appeared first on KPFA.
