Press Conference Tuesday, April 4 9:30 am Zenger Room of the National Press Club 529 14th St. NW, 13th Floor, in Washington DC WHAT: Press Conference to announce next civic action in on-going struggle to win "Full Rights for Undocumented Workers" WHO: Organizers and coordinators of 1 million pro-immigrant rights march and rally in Los Angeles On Tuesday, April 4, the organizers of the historic March 25 march and rally "For the Full Rights of Undocumented Workers" in Los Angeles will announce their next national action at a press conference taking place in the Zenger Room of the National Press Club at 9:30 am. The action will be national in scope and is dubbed "The Great American Boycott of 2006", and is scheduled to take place on May 1st of this year. This national boycott is being announced as the U.S. Senate continues to debate a package of immigration reforms. Under the pressure of massive mobilizations of the people all around the country, the Senate Judiciary Committee adopted a series of reforms that are in contrast to the Sensenbrenner bill which criminalizes undocumented workers and those who provide assistance to them. Even these limited measures may still be reversed by the full Senate or during conference committee negotiations between the representatives of the two houses of Congress. "The massive March 25 march and rally in Los Angeles of well over one million immigrant workers and their supporters-along with protests and student walkouts throughout the United States-is irrefutable evidence that a new Civil Rights and workers' rights movement is on the rise," stated Raul Murillo, the President of the Hermandad Mexicana Nacional, and one of the key organizers of the historic march. "In order to realize the goal of legalization for the millions of undocumented workers we have the obligation to keep pressing the Congress of the United States to legislate immigration reform that grants full legalization for all immigrants," concluded Mr. Murillo. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
