DESCRIPTION:
We, the March 25th Coalition, will hold a press conference/

informational leafletting outside the National Council of La Raza

Conference at 9am at the Los Angeles Convention Center at the corner

of Figueroa and Pico. We feel that we need to put forward our agenda

for ?What?s Next for the Latino Community and the immigration debate?.

We stand for full legalization for all undocumented workers. We

think that both the House Bill, with its criminalization provisions,

and the Senate Bill, with its pro-corporate guest worker program,

three-tiered apartheid approach, and increased militarization, are

fundamentally flawed and need to be killed. We are against increased

enforcement, border walls, and militarization. We are against raids

and deportations. We are willing to mobilize mass numbers of people

to stand up for these demands.

We feel the need to have our own press conference and picket because

we object to the NCLR conference putting forward ?What?s Next for the

Latino Community? in a conference that will be addressed by both Karl

Rove of the Bush administration and Bill Clinton, whose Operation

Gatekeeper has been responsible for more than 4,000 deaths at the

border. We also object to the fact that the session on the ?New

Generation of Latino Lideres? is co-sponsored by the US Marine Corps,

which has a targeted policy of recruiting young Latinos as cannon

fodder for the war in Iraq. We also object to the fact that the

labor leaders addressing the conference ?Latinos and Labor Unions

Working Together? are not those labor leaders whose unions have taken

a position of full legalization for all, and do not share the

sentiment of the masses of people that protested on May 1st. These

people feel that rather than a corporate driven guestworker program

and an apartheid, three tiered system, that there should be full

equality for all workers in this country. Both bills, the House and

the Senate, should be killed.

In fact, we object that a conference with Bank of America, the Coca-

Cola Company, Walmart, and Univision as corporate sponsors and

affiliates (these are listed as NCLR?s corporate affiliates on their

web page) can claim to speak under the banner of ?What?s Next for the

Latino Community?.

In addition to the press conference at 9am at the corner of Figueroa

and Pico, we will be attending the 10:30 workshop called

?Comprehensive Immigration Reform? and the 3:30 panel ?Toward

Immigration Reform and Beyond: Latinos and Labor Unions working

together? to engage in the discussion of these topics. These events

are held in the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201

S Pico.
