A: Teacher what’s this paper?
YoKim: it’s the circle of holiness. Who can recall what 전도사님 talked about today?
T: Oh me me!
YoKim: no someone else besides T… hmm E can you tell everyone what was the message today?
E: Nah..
YoKim: ok then let’s have T answer it. Silence! Everyone listen to T.
T: she showed how our heart gets dirty with sins, and that Jesus’s blood makes us clean.
YoKim: good! It’s also important to remark that Jesus’ blood makes us holy, because we are all holy persons to start with, so when our sins are forgiven, we become holy again. Here we have… the circle of holiness! We’ll all go around and talk about our sins from last week or the week before that. Alright? Let me give you two examples. Hey A! Stop yelling at J.
YoKim: So I like playing computer games. Last saturday, the one before yesterday, I was playing a game and I was so excited that
P: what’s the game’s name
YoKim: oh it’s in korean so you may not know – it’s 대항해시대, you travel in ships and to trade and stuff. Anyway saturday morning I was so excited about the game that first thing after I got up was to run to the computer. And I should have had a time for God, like praying and reading the bible, but I didn’t!
T: Is the game fun?
YoKim: Yeah real fun. Now why was what I did a sin?
J: because you didn’t have breakfast.
YoKim: No, not having a breakfast is generally not good for you.. but it’s not a sin. I sinned because I put the game before Jesus! That’s why it’s a sin. Silence! T stop cussing at A.
T: but she started it!
A: No you started! u-g-l-y ugly!
E: u-g-l-y ugly!
T: you are stupid!
E: ugly!
YoKim: hey guys, stop! Ok let me give you the second example. You all know President Bush, right?
T: oh he’s a failure~
YoKim: you all know he started a war with Iraq, right? He says he sent troops to help the Iraqi people out, but we all know that’s a lie! He wanted the oil, and because it’s so expensive, he wanted all the oil for himself. E, quiet! So why is the Iraq War a sin?
J: because he went for the oil
YoKim: exactly! He put the oil above Jesus, and went into war without really asking God what she wanted him to do!
P: Hey teacher do you like Bush?
YoKim: no, that’s not what we are talking about right now. So let’s go back to my sin – I think my sin can be summed up as “game addiction”, that’s the core of my sin. Now for Bush, his sin can be summed up as “capitalism”! Got it? Now let’s go around and tell our sins from last week.
T: well last week I..

relationships on the bus
even though I felt as if my main problem as an organizer, an utter inability to establish relationships with bus riders was on the way to be solved as I tried a different approach yesterday at the BRU organizing drive (for general membership), I’m skeptic on two aspects of said improvement
1. Was it really better? I first talked with a riders who had already talked with K (but then he didn’t tell me he had talked – did he want to talk more? To me he seemed to be pulling out his arguments/stories from the basic education you acquire in undegrad (chiefly, his analysis of capitalism from an almost purely economistic determinist perspective – which led to a general lack of hope towards the movement). Second I talked with a former BRU member, still supportive but not paying his dues/not attending meetings.

notes, Free Trade/Fair Trade Forum
So I was sitting there struggling with the overcomplixified MS access relational tables structure trying to figure out how to establish a data report based on four interrelated (two one-to-many and one one-to-one relations.. I think there is something going on when you drag a premade report into the report design field, though), when Octavio says “I’m going to this debate at Mac, where is the chapel?” And I 1) didn’t know Octavio was talking there (which is, so ironic! Larry Weiss debated Raymond Robertson when he had the exact same position, in 2002!) and 2) didn’t know it was happening today – I assumed it was the weekend even though had no intentions of going. So remembering our little name thing with MPIRG earlier, I look up the new promotional email which now says “MPIRG, Mac Fair Trade, MPJC, and others.” and notice the phrase “Dinner too!”. I’m like, “I’m going!” and he will give me a ride if I write a story on the forum for the RCTA. Sure, fine. First, some memos.

the definitive problem in information distribution
the biggest problem (as in setting up various kinds of media for the SOLE PURPOSE of exposing promotional stuff received through email) facing ¡Adelante!, and other small organizations, is that they distribute OPEN information (events) in a CLOSED environment (emails) that are limited in their expository potential given they can ONLY propagate through a forwarded email.
aha.
we need set up a public email account.

Contested Bodies: Immigrants as a Singularity in Minnesota's Political Terrain
Contested Bodies: Immigrants as a Singularity in Minnesota’s Political Terrain
Minnesota Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride Internship Paper
January 27, 2004
Yongho KimThe Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride of 2003 was a national movement aimed at claiming immigrants’ rights in the legislative branches of the United States. It gathered a critical mass of religious, labor, progressive and other political organizations and individuals to actively demonstrate and lobby in the Congress and the streets of New York City, and strategically located towns positioned along the path from the twelve departure cities to Washington, a move that intentionally followed the path laid by the freedom rides from the civil rights era.
The Minnesota Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride (MN IWFR), planned by the two organizers who took a leading role during the national ride, Mariano Espinosa and Quito Ziegler, came together as a state-wide initiative that consisted of thirty immigrant riders and allies riding a bus that connected various key cities for voter mobilization and immigration law reform. Riders made connections with local organizers, contributed to voter registration efforts, and lobbied with representatives to have them support pro-immigrant legislation, symbolically marketed through AgJobs and the DREAM Act.
In this paper, leaving the effectiveness of the movement aside (as the process is still ongoing), I argue that pro-immigrant efforts such as the MN IWFR injected a dose of instability and self-doubt in Minnesota’s political arena prior to and after various Minnesota Senate and House of Representatives, and the U.S. presidential, elections.
