On May Day 2007, National Immigrant Solidarity Network is calling for a multi-ethnic, decentralized, multi-topic and multi-tactic national day of mobilization to support immigrant workers rights.

Our ten points of unity (based on our Jan 29, 2007 open letter to the Congress):

1) No to anti-immigrant legislation, and the criminalization of the immigrant communities.

2) No to militarization of the border.

3) No to the immigrant detention and deportation.

4) No to the guest worker program.

5) No to employer sanction and "no match" letters.

6) Yes to a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

7) Yes to speedy family reunification.

8. Yes to civil rights and humane immigration law.

9) Yes to labor rights and living wages for all workers.

10) Yes to the education and LGBT immigrant legislation.
We acknowledges that there'll be multiple call to actions from across the country to organize May Day 2007, and each coalition will present their sets of demands. We should respects each other organizing and encourage and supports everyone's issues:

1) Multi-ethnic, Decentralized and Multi-topic mobilization: while everyone will pledge to support immigrant workers rights at May Day 2007, local groups can choose to includes any other topics for their mobilizations: civil rights, anti-war, Katrina, labor rights, health care...., etc.

2) Decentralized Multi-Tactic May Day organizing: We will encourage everyone to organize their actions at May Day, but will let local groups to decide what they want to do at the day: march, boycott, strike, lunch action, vigil, community event, conference or congressional lobby day, etc.


Understanding the connections between our individual conditions of life and the lives of people everywhere in the word allows us to come together and organize across all borders. WE NEED to link the connections between: wars in Africa, south America, Asia, Iraq, Palestine & Korea with sweatshops in Asia as well as in Los Angeles, New York; international arm sales and WTO, FTAA, NAFTA & CAFTA with AIDS, hunger, child labors and child solider; multinational corporations and economic exploitation with racism and poverty at home--then we can win the struggle.

Let's all come together, on May Day 2007, to build a new immigrant rights
and civil rights movements!

I agree with the following since they don't say what they mean (immigrant vs. illegal alien):

1) No to anti-immigrant legislation, and the criminalization of the immigrant communities. I agree legal immigrants shouldn't be criminalized

3) No to the immigrant detention and deportation. Correct, we should only detain and deport ILLEGAL aliens, not legal immigrants

4) No to the guest worker program. Pretty much right on here, just don't read any further down their list

The point is they are organized, they are motivated and they want to win. We cannot allow them to win or even make signficant progress, that is why we have to take action with motivated effort and desire to win. We need to push especially hard now on all fronts.

And who is paying for all this organization?

Yup, its always good to hold your enemy's closer! Its good to know there are upcoming May day protests, I'm sure it will help in the planning of events for the DC rally.

I couldn't pass up the chance at pointing out their blatent avoidance of the term "illegal" in their plans though

Well, now it seems maybe they are having funding problems? Are they not getting the corporate dollars they hoped for?

What in the world is wrong with these people! Don’t they know illegal alien scabs are the tool of the very corporations that oppress workers all over the world? That would be a illegal work stoppage. So they can only set up a illegal picket line that the union officials will have order people to cross.

Domak, they are extremely brainwashed people. It used to be union people would NEVER have gotten involved in such matters. Now you see this support for the illegals, yet, yes, it does undermine their very jobs and incomes eventually. I do not think they realize that.
