Don't Deport Me, Scotty! (Racial Justice and Immigrant Rights Video)

Here's a good video on immigration from Breakthrough: See what happens when a permanent member of a popular space crew finds his status is in question because he is "an alien." According to their web site, Breakthrough is an innovative, international human rights organization that uses social media and other creative tools to create awareness of critical global issues such as violence against women, sexuality and HIV/AIDS, religion and peace, human rights, and racial justice and immigrant rights.

In addition to videos, other tools that can be found at Breakthrough include media, toolkits and events such as the following:

• Video games like, ICED – I Can End Deportation, that puts players inside the shoes of an immigrant to see what its like to have no due process or human rights.

• Interactive sites like Homeland Guantanamo, where you’re the undercover investigative reporter exposing inhumane detention conditions and learn about DHS accountability.

• The Restore the Right to Due Process campaign, which uses animations, video interviews, a music video, the ICED video game, stand -up comedy, interactive toolkits and education to illustrate how current U.S immigration policies are unconstitutional, unnecessary, and demean all of us who are proud to live in America.
