Who is Alexis Mazon?
10-28-04
Alexis is 30 years of age, an activist attorney, and her origin is unknown. She was a law student at New York University throwing dung at NY Mayor Giuliani in 1999. It doesn't seem that she has spent much time in Arizona over the last 5 years? Alexis is an attorney and a good one at that by the way she presented her case. That is all this is to Alexis, another case. To be an attorney today you have to survive the first two years of law school bent on breaking you of the truth. The objective: so that the attorney is able to tell whatever story is needed to carry forth the clients needs or wishes. Her ability to lie to further the cause of her client was ever present and supports my claim at the end of the debate. What amazed me is she wanted us to believe she was just one of us. I don't know if she is working for free or if she is being paid. I would want to think that she had the passion for her cause to volunteer her time, however people of this caliber general draw a hefty wage for their efforts.

The Youth Law Center focuses on issues that affect children in state care. More information is available on our website at
www.youthlawcenter.com. Although we are just beginning to focus more on LEP issues, much of our work includes issues that affect youth with limited English proficiency. This year Alexis Mazon, the Youth Law Center Loren Warboys Fellow, is working on issues that affect immigrant youth. Two Youth Law Center projects focus on the over representation of youth of color in juvenile justice and child welfare systems. See the Building Blocks for Youth Initiative (BBY) http://www.buildingblocksforyouth.org and the W Haywood Burns Institute http://www.burnsinstitute.org. BBY will be issuing a report on Latino and Latina Youth in the juvenile justice system in the next few weeks. We also have just started a project on education for youth in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, which will include LEP issues. A one-page description is attached.---------

Stunt a dung deal for mayor's critics
Once was not enough for Maria Mancini.
Twice she stuck a rubber gloved hand into a vat of "elephant dung," patted it into a ball and tossed it at a giant portrait of Mayor Giuliani.
"I made sure I took good aim and got him right in the puss," said the actress, who lives in Tribeca. "It felt good. It was better than booing him at the parade. I have been so furious at him for so long."
She joined hundreds of people who gathered in Washington Square Park yesterday for a chance to vent their frustrations and donate to charity.
For just $1, people were invited to hurl a handful of "dung" (more likely grass and dirt) at the portrait. Joey Skaggs said all proceeds would be given to Housing Works, a not-for-profit organization that provides services to homeless New Yorkers with HIV and AIDS.
The portrait was modeled after the controversial "Holy Virgin Mary" painting on display at the Brooklyn Museum. Giuliani vociferously protested the painting and unsuccessfully tried to strip the museum of its funding.
Like many of the other dung tossers, Jessica Radke, 26, and Alexis Mazon, 25, both law students at New York University, said they are angry with the mayor for his policies regarding the homeless.
It just felt so right," Mazon said, laughing, after she took aim at the portrait.
