Prete no-global, prete rosso, prete ribelle, prete zapatista, prete
disobbediente,  prete barricadero… i giornali e le televisioni parlano molto
spesso di lui etichettandolo nei modi più coloriti. Ma lui continua a definirsi
«nient’altro che un prete! », e oggi, dopo la rimozione dalla parrocchia di
Sant’Angelo a Scala, si considera «prete reale di una parrocchia virtuale:
www.donvitaliano.it».

Don Vitaliano Della Sala, parroco rimosso di Sant’Angelo a Scala, un paesino di
600 anime nella provincia di Avellino, è uno dei preti più conosciuti in Italia
non solo per il suo impegno di pacifista attivo nel movimento no-global, ma
anche per le sue battaglie per la ricostruzione delle chiese in Irpinia dopo il
terremoto, per la solidarietà portata al
movimento gay-lesbian durante il Giubileo del 2000, per le azioni di

disobbedienza civile condotte con grande risonanza mass-mediatica durante il G8
a Genova.

Il film racconta pensieri e azioni di don Vitaliano, tra impegno locale e
missioni internazionali, vissute in perenne conflitto con il vescovo della sua
diocesi e le alte gerarchie ecclesiastiche del Vaticano.

Anche di fronte alla recente sospensione “a divinis” per sei mesi, sereno come
sempre, don Vitaliano cita don Lorenzo Milani:
«L’obbedienza non è più una virtù».



Alla proiezione sarà presente DON VITALIANO



Il film sostiene NO ESTAN SOLOS, progetto dell'associazione ¡YA BASTA! per il
completamento della scuola e della clinica nel villaggio zapatista
di San Josè del Rio – Chiapas (Messico)

tes with large immigrant populations like New York have been
suspiciously quiet. They do not want to speak out for civil and human
rights. Please help us make them!

TAKE ACTION



(1) Call, email, and fax your Senators. Tell them to refuse to fund more
war and occupation in Iraq. Tell them to ensure that REAL ID stays dropped
in the Senate and does not re-emerge when members of the Senate negotiate
over the bill with the House. Immigrant rights and peace groups across the
country are actively promoting call-in days from Friday April 8 to
Thursday, April 14.

When you call, ask to speak with the person who handles immigration issues.
Tell him/her that you would appreciate it if your Senator would relay these
concerns to members of the Appropriations Committee, many of whom will be
on the combined House/Senate conference committee that will be making the
last minute decisions about whether to include REAL ID. (Of course, you
don’t have to say this if your Senator is already on the Appropriations
Committee). A list of members of the Senate Appropriations Committee can be
found below.

To contact your own Senators and Congressperson, call the Capitol
Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected. Or look them up at
http://capwiz.com/adc/dbq/officials/ .

(2) Organize a vigil, picket, or some other public activity outside the
office of your Senators. Let them know you oppose more funding for the war
and the REAL ID provisions. And by being in a public place you will also
have an opportunity to talk to other people.

(3) Get your message into the local media. Organize a flood of letters to
the editor of your city or state newspapers. Ask people to call into radio
talk shows. We need to bring our message into the media BEFORE the Senate
votes. Contact the UFPJ office if you need assistance in this effort at
212-868-5545.

TALKING POINTS

We encourage you to tell your Senators:

“I want you to say no to more war funding. We should not be funding this
illegal war. It’s time to bring the troops home.

“And I want you to ensure that REAL ID, the anti-immigrant attachment to
House version of the war appropriations bill, does not become part of the
final appropriations bill. We should not deny immigrants drivers’ licenses
and such basic rights as the constitutional protection of habeas corpus.
And we cannot leave immigration enforcement to private police forces and an
unchecked Homeland Security Department. The anti-immigrant agenda will tear
countless families apart and hurt American communities.

“Continuing the war in Iraq and stripping immigrants of basic rights have
nothing to do with increasing national security.”

REAL ID DETAILS

REAL ID would:

1. Prohibit states from issuing drivers’ licenses to millions of immigrant
who cannot demonstrate that they are here lawfully. Untrained DMV agents
would have to rely often on racial profiling to make the decision of when
to give a license. This provision, opposed by motor vehicle associations,
would cause chaos on our roads, and force immigrants into driving without
license and uninsured.

2. End habeas corpus for immigrants in deportation. For the first time
since the Civil War, an entire class of people (namely noncitizens) would
be barred from this Constitutional right to seek justice before a federal
judge when facing a punishment as severe as life exile.

3. Give bounty hunters unprecedented powers to arrest immigrants, and
increase public reliance on privately owned bail bond companies to police
our communities.

4. Effectively bar people from winning asylum in the U.S., by setting
unnecessarily restrictive standards for people fleeing dictatorships and
persecution

5. Give the Secretary of Homeland Security the power to waive all laws that
he feels might interfere with building border barriers, leading to further
deaths at the border.

REAL ID is a legislative nightmare, under which judges could not judge, but
DMV agents would have to enforce immigration laws! More importantly, it is
a civil rights tragedy. It would deepen the legal, economic and social
divide between citizens and immigrants, and set us back decades. Please
call Congress immediately to express opposition to this bill, and pressure
progressive and liberal Senators to speak out strongly against REAL ID.
