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 .
