MAYAN CALENDAR NEWS: "THE FAST FOR OUR FUTURE"...THE RISE MOVEMENT....
OK MAYAN READERS, The Mayan Calendar News endorses this historic call to action. Check out the complete mesage on the website. It is a powerful statement. Only one comment on the message....remember...that it all began here....in CHICAGO...on March 10th 2006....el 10 de Marzo. Other than that one correction.....I support this movement whole heartedly. In Chicago.....remember...that it is Omar Lopez.....the one who ignited this match....that lit the torch of this historic movement...is now running for the U.S. Congress. Omar needs our support. He needs YOUR SUPPORT. THE RISE MOVEMENT.....is another manifestation of the Movimiento that began here in Chicago.....and it's goals, it's vision are a continuation of that same message. The Mayan Calendar News embraces this message and movement. Carlos Perez Founder/Editor Mayan Calendar News http://www.therisemovement.org/contact.html On October 15th, over 100 people will begin one of the largest hunger strikes in American history to call on Latinos, immigrants, and people of conscience–the Immigrant Rights Movement–to rise out of our fear and vote for change. “The Fast for our Future” will be based in a permanent encampment at La Placita Olvera, the historic heart of Los Angeles, and will continue until at least 1 million people have signed this Pledge. Through our shared sacrifice and commitment we will renew our movement and inspire an historic mobilization of Latino, immigrant, and pro-immigrant rights voters. We must remember the I.C.E. raids, those detained and deported, the families torn apart, the dreams deferred. We must remember the marches, the walkouts, the boycotts, and the promise we made: “Hoy Marchamos, Manana Votamos.” Yesterday we marched for our rights, today we vote. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Internet group address: http://groups.google.com/group/ChicagoMayDay To send e-mail: [email protected] To unsuscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
