From xander at as220.org Thu Sep 4 10:59:41 2008 From: xander at as220.org (xander at as220.org) Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 10:59:41 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Board] e-verify update (from pro-jo) Message-ID: <3784.70.184.10.213.1220540381.squirrel@www.as220.org> Good morning everyone - I had been meaning to send you all an update about e-verify but then there was this article in the Pro-Jo this morning that explains where stuff is at with e-verify pretty well. After our board meeting I got back to Steve Brown and told him that the board was interested in learning more and that we were putting off a vote until the next meeting. He responded that he appreciated that we were interested in learning more but that he wanted to get stuff rolling so that the restraining order on behalf of organizations who were ready to commit could be in place before the deadline to file the paperwork. Best - xander ACLU sues state over Carcieri's executive order 01:00 AM EDT on Thursday, September 4, 2008 By Tom Mooney Journal Staff Writer PROVIDENCE ? The Rhode Island Affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union yesterday filed a lawsuit challenging the legality and effectiveness of a key component of Governor Carcieri's crackdown on illegal immigrants. The lawsuit asks the Superior Court to immediately suspend the portion of the governor's March executive order that requires all contractors with the state to participate in the federal employment verification system known as E-Verify. Steven Brown, executive director of the local ACLU, said the E-Verify program ? an Internet database run by the Department of Homeland Security to uncover illegal immigrants ? has been "riddled with significant flaws" and returns inaccurate information regarding the immigration and employment status of new hires. "It's an inappropriate demand by the state to have private vendors and individuals make use of such a flawed program," Brown said. Further, Brown said the governor's order is also illegal because it conflicts with state laws governing the purchasing process and was instituted without any public comment period. Carcieri spokeswoman Amy Kempe disagreed. "The lawsuit is wholly without merit and the governor was well within his constitutional and statutory authority," she said. "The executive order was very closely patterned to follow the law and kept mandates well within the purview of the executive branch." Across the country, Kempe said, "this is something that is quite common." Kempe said several other states use E-Verify "in some manner," including Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee. Arizona and Mississippi require all employers, both public and private, to enroll in E-Verify, said Kempe, and to authorize the work status of all new employees. The ACLU filed its lawsuit on behalf of the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence and two Rhode Island College professors ? Ann Marie Mumm and Daniel Weisman ? who have contracts with the state and who object to participation in the program. In an affidavit filed with the lawsuit, Deborah DeBare, executive director of coalition, said her agency contracts with the state to provide court advocates for victims of domestic violence, as well as to provide services for children who witness domestic violence. "Our agency prides itself on its diverse staff," DeBare said. "We are concerned that mandatory use of the E-Verify program may discourage some applicants, particularly foreign-born citizens from applying, due to E-Verify's high error rate." Weisman, a social worker, contracts with the state to evaluate a program run through the Department of Health that offers parents ways to discuss delicate issues with their children. "I strongly disapprove of mandatory use of the E-Verify program," Weisman said in his affidavit. "If forced to register with E-Verify, I will have to take time away from my work to attend to the E-Verify tutorial and comply with the E-Verify administrative requirements," including writing "right to-appeal notices" to employees who don't pass through the system but have rights of appeal. Weisman said he might have to hire someone to take care of the bureaucratic paperwork. In its lawsuit, the ACLU contends Carcieri encroached upon the legislative powers of the General Assembly by essentially enacting a new law. For instance it quotes a state law that says "no state purchasing regulation shall change in any way a contract commitment by the state nor of a contractor to the state which was in existence on the effective date of the regulation." Carcieri's order violates that law, the ACLU contends by "altering the terms of currently existing state contracts " Further, the ACLU says, the governor's order also conflicts with a state law that gives the power of setting contracts to the Department of Administration or the state purchasing office and no "other person or agency." A hearing on the ACLU's request for a temporary restraining order is expected within a few days. tmooney at projo.com From matthew.cullina at gmail.com Mon Sep 8 11:06:53 2008 From: matthew.cullina at gmail.com (Matthew Cullina) Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2008 11:06:53 -0400 Subject: [Board] Board Meeting Reminder & Location Message-ID: <870f96330809080806n5b30496ei91b279ea47fae5a6@mail.gmail.com> Good Morning Folks, just wanted to remind you all that our September Board Meeting is set for tomorrow night @ 6pm.

Print Show and Fundraising Event Print Lottery AS220 Gallery/Performance Space 115 Empire Street Providence, RI 02903 September 27th, 2008 5:30 pm The AS220 printshop is approaching its 1 year anniversary as Rhode Island?s only public Community Printshop. To commemorate this milestone, we are introducing our first biennial Print Lottery! The goal of this fundraising event is to expand the Printshop's resources, highlight a vast range of artists working in printmaking, and raise awareness of the medium?s importance to contemporary art and the range of aesthetic possibilities it offers us. The Print Lottery will showcase prints or works on paper made by 200 artists from all over the world! In keeping with AS220?s mission of accessibility and equality, and for the purpose of having fun, the prints in the show will be sold by a blind lottery system, with all 200 lottery tickets selling for $75. Some tickets are still available! Ticket purchases directly support the Printshop, helping pay our staff and visiting teachers and purchase necessary materials and equipment . In thanks for your help you receive a beautiful work on paper that utilizes one of many printmaking techniques including but not limited to: drawing, monoprint, screenprint, etching, lithograph, woodblock, stencil, letterpress. The prints are currently on exhibit at our gallery and performance space at 115 Empire St. The culmination of the show, the drawing of names and cocurrent celebration, will take place on Saturday September 27th at 5:30 pm.

Morgan and crew have been working hard to make it a success. The big pre event, lectures by Andrew Raftery (artist, print maker) and Gretchen Wagner, Assistant Curator of prints and illustrated books at Museum of Modern Art was this past Saturday. It was a great evening followed by a tomato and pole bean feast at Lucie's. The Lottery is this coming Saturday, Sept. 27th. The gang has sold 150 tickets. There are 50 still available. $75 guarantees a print or drawing worth at least that amount or a lot more. Check it out. There are some beauties on the walls of the performance space and bar. The tickets can be purchased from the web site: http://www.as220.org/printlottery2008/ticket.html They can also be purchased at the AS220 bar.

The panel consists of 2 residents, 1 board member and 1 artist from the community at large. I am there more as a facilitator and to answer questions as needed. The interviews last for 15 to 20 minutes each and we may interview up to 6 or 7 people. The entire night lasts between 2-3 hours. We will convene on Tuesday October 7th at 5:30 at Empire Street. Please let me know if you are interested in helping out with this process. It is a very important hands on way to help and gives a unique insight to the people who benefit from AS220. I know it has been a valuable experience for those of you who have done this in the past. Thanks, Susan Clausen AS220 Property Manager
