A celebration of the third anniversary of the March 10, 2006 march for Legalization for All

The crisis & our march to justice

2nd Annual Conference of the March 10th Committee



Friday, March 6th. Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, 800 S. Halsted St., Chicago, IL., 60607

Saturday March 7th. Azteca Mall, 3200 S. Kedzie Ave., Chicago, IL., 60623



The immigrant struggle is everybody’s struggle. Everybody’s struggle is an immigrant struggle.

March 10th, 2006, gave birth to a mass mobilization for the legalization of the twelve million of undocumented workers in the United Sates. After three years, neither Congress nor the White House has solved the plight of millions of working families, but to the contrary they have filled their lives with uncertainty.

Now, and after a decade of neoliberal policies that have taken the world at the edge of economic collapse, the uncertainty has spread to all the home of this country’s working folks. In response, The U.S. people stopped the political rule of the right, overwhelmingly voting for an alternative of change.

In search of that change, immigrants are getting ready one again to march this May Day in demand of justice and equality for all. With that purpose, the March 10th Committee invites everybody to a conference dedicated to discuss and elaborate ideas for the next steps in the fight for social justice, building unity between immigrant and native born workers.

General Assembly of Workers



Mexican, Latino and American workers.

Workers with a union or without it.

Temporary workers and day laborers.



Are you tired of abuse and discrimination? Are you tired of low wages and disrespect?



Join us. We will share our experience fighting and winning over those who want to take away our rights at the work place and forcing to act those who would want to keep us under shadows.



Many of us have won, some have not, but we stay strong in our purpose of getting respect and being treated human beings. In a country in economic crisis, immigrants are the favorite scapegoat of the powerful and only united we can confront them. We are pushin our unions to stand firm and comply with wath they promised us, to defend the worker. We are forcing the greedy boss to respect our rights, so we can have a dignifying life. Come, listen to us and share with us you experience



In struggle for the rights of all workers,



Convokes Chicago Workers Collaborative



This assembly will be carried on March 7th at 9 AM, in 3200 S. Kedzie Ave. (Azteca Mall), and it is part of the 2nd annual Immigrant Conference of the March 10 Committee.

Oh I like this.. Nothing P.O.'s Americans like Illegal Aliens marching and demanding Amnesty

Woooooooooooo Hooooooooooo

We will share our experience fighting and winning over those who want to take away our rights at the work place and forcing to act those who would want to keep us under shadows.

Now this is downright funny. First of all, you folks don't have any rights in the workplace. To the contrary, holding a job in this country is a violation of the law. Second, marching down Michicigan Ave is hardly hiding in the shadows.

Just remember you do not need a whole big lot of people to suck all the energy out. All you have to do is to go there and get on their TV camera with a NumbersUSA sign. While they can get more people in the street there are more of us and a higher per centage of us are citizens and voters

Are you tired of abuse and discrimination? Are you tired of low wages and disrespect?

Sure am!.. Tired of not getting jobs because I don't speak Spanish. Tired of being screamed at and called racist because I want laws enforced. Tired of once good paying jobs now downgraded because hispanics do it for cheaper or employers who avoid hiring citizens because they want to save a buck and get out of offering things citizens have fought for. Tired of non-citizens telling me I just have to deal with it their way or leave my own country.

But won't be going to your rally.
