The success of May 1st's "A Day Without
Immigrants" has been an historical turning point for the immigrant
rights movement. The National Immigrant Solidarity Network was one of
the main groups who helped to organize the historical Los Angeles March
25th "Gran Marcha" and the national May 1st "A Day
Without Immigrants" boycott/strike (Please visit http://www.NoHR4437.org). At this point it's vitally important for the immigrant rights movement to keep the momentum going, and there's an urgent need for national meeting in which community/grassroots immigrant activists can meet face-to-face to discuss how to build a new national, broad-based, immigrant rights/civil rights movement, and to set a 6-9 month national strategy for actions. We envision this is a broad-based, multiethnic conference of organizers, and we are inviting organizers from African American, African immigrant, Asian American, Latino/Latina, Arab-Muslim-North African, progressive labor, interfaith, LGBT, student, anti-war/peace and global justice groups from across the country. We ask the conference participants to endorse the Ten Points for Immigrant Rights, draft by the Los Angeles March 25th Coalition: - No to the anti-immigrant HR4437 and any other
"copycat" legislation from Congress - Yes to amnesty for undocumented immigrants
United We'll Win! Together We'll Achieve Our Dreams!
