May 1st: March for Just and Humane Immigration Reform
3 pm- Gather in Malcolm X Park: 16th and W Streets NW Washington, DC
4 pm- March to the White House
Our Demands:
- Stop the Raids and Deportations
- Just and Humane Immigration Reform
- End the 287g Agreements--No Local Enforcement of Broken Immigration Laws
This is a critical time for the immigrant community. For years, raids and deportations have divided families and terrorized workers. Last fall's election marked a sea change in U.S. politics. Now, President Obama has restated his commitment to immigration reform. We march to make this change a reality--to bring the voices of immigrants into the national debate over what kind of reform we need. Just and humane immigration reform must be a central component of economic recovery. Immigrants are workers who produce tremendous wealth in our society and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Please join us on May 1st to say that now is the time to stop the raids and deportations and move towards an inclusive legalization of immigrant workers and families.
