Stop the Raids & Deportations
Legalization Now · Justice for ALL
MASS RALLY for IMMIGRANT & WORKER RIGHTS

Meet up with NYC-UFPJ at the Gandhi Statue, (the SW corner of Union Square)
Stop the Raids & Deportations. Legalization Now · Justice for ALL

On May 1 (today), immigrant communities and allies across the country will vigil and march for justice.

In solidarity, United for Peace and Justice calls on the peace and justice community to join the May 1 activities. UfP&J joins the call for justice for immigrant communities as we challenge the Bush administration's policies both at home and abroad. We know that peace abroad is impossible without fighting for justice at home.

March behind the UFPJ banner! Meet at the Gandhi statue at 4:30 PM. For more information about activities throughout the afternoon, go to www.may1.info/.

May 1: MASS RALLY for IMMIGRANT & WORKER RIGHTS

Thursday MAY 1st

MASS RALLY for IMMIGRANT & WORKER RIGHTS

Stop the Raids & Deportations
Legalization Now · Justice for ALL

12 pm: Gather at Union Square, (14th Street & Broadway)

4 pm: Rally & March

May Day 2008 is critically important. Will the optimism and hope expressed around the Presidential elections translate into an end of immigrant raids and deportations? Will it bring an end to the foreclosures of homes, the lowering of gas and food prices, or an end to lay-offs?

Whatever the outcome in November, the May 1st Coalition for Immigrant and Workers Rights will be marching once again on May Day, International Workers Day to say no to all the attacks against workers here and around the world.

We (NYC May 1st Coalition for Immigrant & Workers Rights) call on the progressive community, the anti-war movement, the women's & LGBT movement, and especially the labor movement, to come out for May Day 2008. March for solidarity, because an injury to one is an injury to all!
