March 25 Coalition flyer

From Uncovered

May 1st, 2007 we will be out in the streets, not shopping or selling, if possible not working; but Marching.

On February 3rd & 4th, 2007, a Conference hosted by the March 25th Coalition culminated in a call for a national day of actions for workers and Immigrant’s Rights. The day, May 1st, 2007.

During the two day conference, representatives from around the country came together in Los Angeles, Cal. and agreed on a National Campaign to bring about true comprehensive Immigration Reform. From New England to the South West, from the South to the North West, people came together at the Lioya Law school to begin to map out a plan of action leading to May Day mobilizations.

...May 1 is the next necessary step towards a comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill that does not tear apart families or criminalizes the millions of people who have been forced by globalization and the so-called Free Trade agreements to leave their families, communities, country's of origin and ways of life, to risk their lives and come here to work

Behind a set of demands and Points of Unity which include:

Stop raids and deportations
Government reconstruction and the right of return for Katrina survivors
Money for social services, not war
Stop & reverse militarization of the borders of the Americas
No to "free trade" agreements, including: NAFTA, CAFTA, FTAA & all FTAs imposed by U.S. Trans nationals
Immediate, permanent, non-revocable legal residence for all who live in the U.S.
Stop the Minutemen, KKK, Neo-Nazis and all racist organizations
Access to higher education for all undocumented students
Immediate Reunification of all families
No criminalization of those giving aid to immigrants
Full Legalization for All NOW
Equal Rights for All Workers Now
Jobs for All NOW

[edit]
