Conference Registration On-Line! Updates on May Day Los Angeles LAPD Attack Immigrant Marchers National Immigrant Solidarity
Network and the ActionLA Coalition to LAPD Chief William Bratton,
and to LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa: May 9, 2007 The National Immigrant Solidarity Network and the ActionLA Coalition are outrage by the vague comments and "actions" taken by the LAPD and the the Mayor after the May Day police attacks on the immigrant rights marchers at and around Mcarthur Park. Videos footage and eye witness testimonies have shown that LAPD, not the so-called "small groups of anarchist" to blame of the violence. Furthermore, it's clear, from the eye witness accounts and past actions by the commanders and units present, that the May Day police attacks were not simply a "break" in command chain or few "bad apples" on LAPD, but was well coordinated action from the top of the command chain. Therefore, we demand that LAPD chief William Bratton, and LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa: TAKE FULL RESPONSBILITY TO THE MAY DAY MCARTHUR PARK POLICE ATTACK! >> Read More Analysis: 5/8:
LAPD Opens Dangerous Front in Immigrant Movement *Take Action!* We encourage community and immigrant rights activists to call LAPD and LA Mayor office with the following demands: 1) Chief William Bratton, and LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa: TAKE FULL RESPONSBILITY TO THE MAY DAY MCARTHUR PARK POLICE ATTACK! 2) An open, community-based independent police investigation should be setup. 3) LAPD need move quickly to identify the officers involved in the attacks. 4) LAPD Chief Bratton's re-appointment process should be put on hold until the entire investigation is over.

ities organizing May Day 2007 Points of Unity 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.
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.
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. Latest
News Our Responds to the Recent President Bush and Congress's Immigration Proposals Lee Siu Hin April 11, 2007
Bush's proposals, along with Congress's STRIVE Act have many similarities, while they both advocate for "path to the citizenships" includes granting work visas to undocumented immigrants and eventually permanent resident status. But that's a serious flaw--it requires them to return to home and pay hefty fines to become legal U.S. residents, they also need to go though a very tough background check by the government. Under President Bush's plan, they could apply for three-year work visas, dubbed "Z" visas, which would be renewable indefinitely but cost $3,500 each time. The undocumented workers would have legal status with the visas, but to become legal permanent residents with a green card, they'd have to return to their home country, apply at a U.S. embassy or consulate to re-enter legally and pay a $10,000 fine, according to the Los Angeles Times. Even worse, both bill allows criminalizing the immigrant communities by empowering local police to enforce immigration law, and pushing "tougher" background checks on immigrants. We cannot accept immigrants need to pay thousands of dollars of "fine" and "fees" to apply for visa, go through the humiliation of tougher background check, and require them to leave country to apply immigrant visas in order to return to the country. This is a immigrant bill that still penalizing undocumented immigrants! >> Read More ILWU Local 10 to Stop Work on May Day 2007 ILWU locals support national May Day actions for worker and immigrant

The
May Day 2006 Last year, National Immigrant Solidarity Network
(NISN), along with many other immigrant, labor and community activists
from across the country successfully organized the historical May
1st "A Day Without Immigrants" General Boycott/Strike. On May 1st 2006, we showed the world that our force, our strength and our voice cannot be silenced from this moment on! This is the birth of a new civil rights movement for the 21st century, and we will fight for our demands until we prevail. Understand there'll be diverse tactics and demands at the May Day 2007--We understand this is just one of the call, and we'll be openly working with different groups to form broad-based common ground coalition, in order to build a new immigrant rights/civil rights movements. United We'll Win! Together We'll Achieve Our Dreams!
