The time is approaching again for May Day, International Workers Day. In the spirit of the martyr anarchists of Chicago of 1886 who gave their lives in the struggle for the 8-hour work day, we continue to honor their lives struggling for migrant workers rights.

This year when presidential politicking pretends to bury the demand to find a solution to the situation of 12 million undocumented migrant workers and their families, we must show that we are strong. We must make it clear that this is a struggle for human and labor rights.

We have decided to rally and march on May 1st. in Boston under the preliminary slogans of:

* No more raids and deportations
* Legalization for all migrant workers now
* Stop politicking with the suffering of millions
* Immigrant rights = human and labor rights
* Stop the militarization of the borders and tear down the wall
* International unity in the struggle for migrant workers rights
