These raids in the immigrant community are calculated to not only terrorize immigrant workers but they are meant to break unions, divide working people and send a message to us all: don't fight back or else. The economy is reeling from rising unemployment, housing foreclosures, price hikes—and the crisis on Wall Street is affecting every one but the super-rich. Yet it was them that made the crisis in the first place, not the people! *This is a time to come together.* We call on people from every walk of life, from every nationality, black, Latin@, Asian, Arab, Native, and white, U.S. or foreign born, documented or undocumented, in a union or unorganized to come out on October 12. *October 12 is part of a national day of action in over 30 cities*. This day is known in the Latino community as Dia de la Raza and is a day for Indigenous People as a counter to the racist Christopher Columbus day, which is a day of conquest and disaster for the Americas. *Join us on October 12 t*o tell the Bush administration and all the presidential candidates: Stop the raids & deportations. *We demand:* - I*mmediate Legalization for undocumented workers!* - *Moratorium on the ICE raids! * - *Moratorium on home foreclosures!* - *Money for hurricane victims not for war in Iraq!* - *No to ICE & police brutality. Justice for Sean Bell & all victims of brutality!* - *Bail out the people, not the banks!* - *Union jobs at union wages for all!* - *Solidarity not racism! * - *No to Lou Dobbs & all hate-mongers!* Event initiated in New York by the *May 1st Coalition for Worker and Immigrant Rights*.
