WHAT: NATIONAL PRESS CONFERENCE
WHO: NATIONAL MAY 1ST MOVEMENT FOR WORKER AND IMMIGRANT RIGHTS
WHEN: THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2007
TIME: 1PM
WHERE: NATIONAL PRESS CLUB
529 14TH STREET, NW
WASHINGTON, DC
On Thursday, March 15 in Washington DC dozens of immigrant and worker rights
activists and leaders will converge at the National Press Club at 1pm. Speakers
will announce upcoming plans for the Great American Boycott II to take place on
Tuesday, May 1, 2007. The press conference is organized by the National May
1st Movement for Worker and Immigrant Rights, a national coalition founded in
Los Angeles on February 4.
The Great American Boycott II is in response to the growing hostility toward
immigrant workers in this country and is a continuation of the massive marches
that occurred last spring that were victorious in defeating HR. 4437, the
Sensenbrenner legislation. The demonstrations also demanded an inclusive
pro-immigrant reform with legalization for the more than 12 million
undocumented workers and their families in this country.
Labor activists will speak to government policies that are aimed to break
unions and lower wages and divide U.S. and foreign born workers. Solidarity
with immigrant workers, documented and undocumented will be emphasized. African
American leaders will address unity with immigrant workers and talk about the
history that unites the two communities. Anti-war organizers will link the war
abroad with the war at home and call on anti-war activists to support May 1st,
2007. Day laborers will speak about the many racist attacks taking place and
how the Latino community along with supporters is fighting back.
On Tuesday, May 1st, 2007 mass demonstrations will take place in cities
across the country including Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, New York City, San
Antonio, Houston, Seattle, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Detroit, Rhode
Island, and many other cities in an indication of the growing unity among U.S.
and foreign born workers against a common enemy: the U.S. government.
Solidarity events with immigrants in the U.S. have been called by the workers
movements in Venezuela, Mexico and the Philippines.
