MASS RALLY for IMMIGRANT & WORKER RIGHTS

Thursday May 1st
12 p.m. Gather at Union Square
14th Street and Broadway
4 p.m. Rally & March

May Day 2008 is critically important. Will the optimism and hope expressed around the Presidential elections translate into an end of immigrant raids & deportations? Will it bring an end to the foreclosures of homes, the lowering of gas and food prices, or an end to lay-offs?

Whatever the outcome in November, the May 1st Coalition for Immi grant and Worker Rights will be marching once again on May Day, International Workers Day, to say no to all the attacks against workers here and around the world.

We call on the progressive community, the anti-war movement, the women’s & lgbt movement, and especially on the labor movement, to come out for May Day 2008. March for solidarity, because an injury to one is an injury to all!

We say:
Black, Latino, Asian, Indigenous, Arab, White—In Unity there is strength.
ICE raids are racist, anti-union, and violate immigrant & US workers civil rights & divide families.
Jobs & homes, not lay-offs & foreclosures. Stop demolition of public housing in New Orleans & everywhere.
No war in Iraq, bring the troops home now.
Political asylum for Victor Toro, No deportation of Flor Crisóstomo.
Money for levees in New Orleans, not for militarizing the US/Mexico border.
Repeal NAFTA. US trade agreements force migration & lay-offs.
