ANTHONY SOLTERO TO BE HONORED AT MASS STUDENT MARCH ON APRIL 15TH

The Coalition of United Students will be holding a press conference at 5 PM on Wednesday April 12th announcing that they have decided to dedicate the MASS STUDENT MARCH 2006 (Gran Marcha Estudiantil 2006) to the 14 year old boy, Anthony Soltero, who in response to threats from the school administration after student walk-outs, committed suicide last week. The press conference will address the latest wave of repression occurring both inside and outside of schools with reference to students being forced to urinate in buckets during school lockdowns. The students will be responding to accusations and commentary in the media about a lack of participation and support from multi-ethnic groups in the new immigrant movement for legalization. The students will also announce support that they have thus far received from public officials for the MASS STUDENT MARCH 2006.

The MASS STUDENT MARCH 2006 will be held at 10 AM, on Saturday April 15th, beginning on Olympic and Broadway and ending at L.A. City Hall. The program includes a variety of speakers and performers to be announced at a later date.

The Coalition of United Students and the MASS STUDENT MARCH 2006 is fully supported by the March 25th Coalition and actively supports the GREAT AMERICAN BOYCOTT 2006 on May 1st.
