Co-author, "Green Recovery: A Program to Create Good Jobs & Start Building a Low-Carbon Economy The recession is certainly here. The question is how to diminish its length and severity. A large-scale federal stimulus program is the only action that can possibly do the job. The economy needs a shot of public investment – and if it's green, the payoff will be greatest. What does a green stimulus look like; should there be an auto industry bailout? ******* Anti-Immigrant Hate In Suffolk Responsible for Stabbing Death of Ecuadorian Laborer Marcelo Lucero with Rev. Allan Ramirez, Pastor, Brookville Reformed Church, & noted immigrant advocate Jeffrey Conroy, and 6 other teens declared that they were going to "attack a Mexican" & headed to the village of Patchogue,NY to hunt, according to their friends & the authorities. They found Marcelo Lucero, a 37-year-old immigrant from a village in Ecuador who had lived in the U.S. for 16 years, worked in a dry cleaning store, sending savings home to support his mother, a cancer survivor. After the boys surrounded, taunted & punched Mr. Lucero, the authorities say, Mr. Conroy plunged a knife into his victim's chest, fatally wounding him. While County Exec.Steve Levy, himself distinguished for anti- immigrant legislation, would like to isolate the attack to what he is now calling "white supremacists" others believe the attack is a reflection of widespread anti-Latino sentiment and racial intolerance in Suffolk County. **************************************** for more information contact Ken Nash - knash@igc.org Building Bridges is regularly broadcast live over WBAI, 99.5 FM in the N.Y.C Metropolitan area on Mondays from 7-8pm EST and is streamed, archived and pod cast at www.wbai.org .
