In May of this year and then again in August, the Department of Homeland Security through the hated ICE (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) carried out some of the biggest anti-worker raids in U.S. history.

These raids in the immigrant community are calculated to not only terrorize immigrant workers but they are meant to break unions, divide working people and send a message to us all: don't fight back or else.

The economy is reeling from rising unemployment, housing foreclosures, price hikes—and the crisis on Wall Street is affecting every one but the super-rich. Yet it was them that made the crisis in the first place, not the people!

This is a time to come together.

We call on people from every walk of life, from every nationality, black, Latin@, Asian, Arab, Native, and white, U.S. or foreign born, documented or undocumented, in a union or unorganized to come out on October 12.

October 12 is part of a national day of action in over 30 cities. This day is known in the Latino community as Dia de la Raza and is a day for Indigenous People as a counter to the racist Christopher Columbus day, which is a day of conquest and disaster for the Americas.
Join us on October 12 to tell the Bush administration and all the presidential candidates: Stop the raids & deportations. We demand:


Immediate Legalization for undocumented workers!
Moratorium on the ICE raids!
Moratorium on home foreclosures!
Money for hurricane victims not for war in Iraq!
No to ICE & police brutality. Justice for Sean Bell & all victims of brutality!
Bail out the people, not the banks!
Union jobs at union wages for all!
Solidarity not racism!
No to Lou Dobbs & all hate-mongers!

Event initiated in New York by the May 1st Coalition for Worker and Immigrant Rights. For more information visit www.may1.info or call 641.715.3900 x97869# or 212.633.6646.
