Chicana activist wields bullhorns and banners to blunt ICE raids in the Mission "Don't be a snitch!" That is the clear message to the passing pedestrians from a mural on the east end of 20th Street. The artist behind the mural is Pati Zapatita - a 29-year-old Chicana activist. Actually, Pati Zapatita is not the name she was giving at birth. But she prefers to use the catchy nickname since her sense of justice sometimes conflicts with the view of the Justice Department. Sebastian Chatham reports from the Mission District.

Scared to Work Last June, two economic writers from the Washington Post announced that the U.S. economy crash had just begun. Although they were referring to big corporations, small business owners have also noticed a significant drop in their sales. Some attribute part of their losses to the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, (ICE), who have been conducting raids of illegal immigrants in areas that are highly saturated with people from Latin and Central America.

Contra-Band Earlier this year The New York Times reported that there are now more single women than married women in the United States. Divorced and widowed women are included in this figure, but it is clear that many women are also choosing to marry later in life—the average age of first marriages has increased from 20 in 1960 to 26 today. Kara, along with countless other women, is out to prove that marriage is not a necessary component for happiness. “It’s more like icing on the cake as opposed to the full meal,” she says.

Dying to Escape The monster of mental illness, the monster of disorders sleeps in the cracks of the mind, cold and dangerous.

Unequal Opportunities Alter has served on an ethics committee of a Bay Area hospital and said that there were cases where the committee had to try to come up with an assignment because the gender of a baby was not apparent at birth. Alter says the general rule is that if the penis is under one inch in length, it is reshaped into a clitoris. This can result in individuals having problems their entire lives because they don't identify with the gender to which they were assigned. "In the deep structures of the brain, they have an identity that's not based on their outer appearance," says Alter.
