~~~Español Abajo~~~
Workers’ Struggle Beyond Borders
March for Dignity, Justice and Legalization for all!
Solidarity Forever and For Everyone
2:00PM Reunion at Union Park, Corners of Lake St and Ashland
3:00PM March to Plaza Tenochtitlan in Pilsen begins.
4:00PM March Ends and Rally Starts at Plaza Tenochtitlan in Pilsen.
On May 1st millions of people around the world march to celebrate international solidarity among working people.
We march because the classic union anthem of “Solidarity Forever” must be expanded to every worker – documented and undocumented, waged and unwaged, those who labor and those who work in the home, students, the unemployed, in the US and around the world.
We march because the scapegoating and criminalization of immigrants is a crucial part of the overall attack on working people.We march because anti-immigrant legislation has created the conditions of modern-day slavery for migrant workers.We march because as long as one worker is deport-able, all workers are exploitable.
US corporate interests concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few, while destabilizing economies and displacing working people at home and around the globe.
Together we must oppose the forces making us pay for a crisis we did not create.
Together we must stand against policies that limit workers’ collective political representation. Together we must fight for justice, fair wages, decent working conditions, basic dignity and full legal status for all working people. Solidarity forever must be for everyone!
Our demands:
- Stop all deportations NOW — we demand an immediate Moratorium on Deportations !
- Legalization and full status without conditions for undocumented immigrants NOW!
- An end to anti-immigrant legislation and the criminalization of immigrants!
- Labor rights, employment, and a living wage for all workers!
- Funding for health care, jobs and education, not for war and deportation!

MARCHA EL PRIMERO DE MAYO
La Lucha Obrera No Tiene Fronteras
Marchando por la Dignidad, Justicia y Legalización Para Todos
Solidaridad para Siempre y para Todos
2:00PM: Reunión en el Parque Union, Esquinas de las calles Lake y Ashland
3:00PM: La Marcha Comienza rumbo a a Plaza Tenochtitlan en Pilsen
4:00PM: La Marcha termina con una manifestación en la Plaza Tenochtitlán en Pilsen. (Esquinas de la calle 18 y la Blue Island)
El día primero de mayo millones de personas alrededor del mundo marchan para celebrar la solidaridad internacional entre los trabajadores.
Nosotros marchamos porque el himno clásico de los sindicatos “Solidaridad para siempre” tiene que ampliarse a todos los trabajadores – con documentos o sin documentos, con o sin salarios, a los que trabajan afuera y los que trabajan en el hogar, los estudiantes, los desempleados, en los EE.UU. y en todo el mundo .
Marchamos porque el chivo expiatorio y la criminalización de los inmigrantes es una parte crucial del ataque general contra los trabajadores.
Marchamos porque las legislaciones anti-inmigrante han creado las condiciones de la esclavitud de hoy en día para los trabajadores migrantes.
Marchamos porque mientras que un trabajador sea deportado, todos los trabajadores son explotables.
Los intereses corporativos de EE.UU. concentran la riqueza y el poder en manos de unos pocos al mismo tiempo que desestabilizan la economía y desplazan a la gente trabajadora del país y del mundo entero.
Juntos debemos oponernos a las fuerzas que nos hacen pagar por una crisis que no hemos creado.
Juntos debemos estar en contra de las pólizas que limitan la representación política colectiva de los trabajadores.
Juntos debemos luchar por la justicia, un salario justo, condiciones dignas de trabajo, la dignidad básica y el estatus legal y completo para todos los trabajadores.
¡La solidaridad para siempre debe ser para todos!
Nuestras demandas:
- ¡Detener las deportaciones AHORA – exigimos una inmediata moratoria a las deportaciones!
- ¡La legalización y el estatus completo sin condiciones para los inmigrantes indocumentados AHORA!
- ¡El fin de legislaciones anti-inmigrantes y de la criminalización de los inmigrantes!
- ¡Los derechos laborales, el empleo y un salario digno y justo para todos los trabajadores!
- ¡Los fondos para la atención de la salud, el empleo y la educación, y no para la guerra y la deportación!

Immigrant Rights Activists’ Caravan to Indiana to Join Protests Against Anti-Immigrant Bill
Immigrant Rights Activists’ Caravan to Indiana to Join Protests Against Anti-Immigrant Bill
What: Press Conference to invite Chicagoans to join the Immigrant’s Caravan to Indiana When: Friday April 1st at 10:30 AM.
Where: Federal I.C.E. Building at Clark and Congress (101 W. Congress Parkway)
Who: Members and Supporters of the Moratorium on Deportations Campaign (MDC)
Chicago IL, On Saturday April 2nd a caravan of pro-immigrant activists will depart from Chicago with a banner of support for protests against Indiana’s anti-immigrant bill proposal, SB590. The bill is similar to Arizona’s infamous SB1070, which legalized a state-wide crack-down on undocumented residents passed last year in Arizona. Communities in Indiana have called for mass regional mobilizations to voice opposition to such measures.
Action: Invitation to Chicagoans to join the Immigrant’s Caravan on Saturday April 2nd . The reunion and departure of the caravan will take place at 10:00 AM, in the heart of the immigrant neighborhood of Pilsen (S. Blue Island Avenue and W. 18th street). At the event community members can sign a symbolic “migra manta” banner that will deliver support for the undocumented residents of Indiana. The caravan will join a march in Hammond, Indiana scheduled to begin at 12:00 pm on Saturday and deliver a banner of support to the immigrant community. The caravan will also make connections between immigrant communities in Indiana and those in Chicago.
Background: The bill proposal in Indiana, SB590, is the most recent in a wave of anti-immigrant bills sweeping the legislatures of states including Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and even Illinois (HB1969). Most of these bills contain similar components which include the use of state and local law enforcement to stop anyone they “suspect” of being in the country without documents; punitive measures against businesses that hire undocumented workers; an English-only rule for all official government documents and meetings and barring sanctuary cities within their state.
In the face of a growing climate of hostility and intolerance, Chicago activists extend a call for regional solidarity to broaden the fight against bills like Illinois’ anti-immigrant HB1969.
“Undocumented workers have become the scapegoats for a political system unable to deal directly and honestly with the crises it has helped create” explains pro-immigrant activist Rozalinda Borcila. “….when the most vulnerable workers become more exploitable and disenfranchised, the race to the bottom intensifies, affecting us all”.
The call for solidarity goes beyond the immigrant community, as Mario Cardenas of the Moratorium on Deportations Campaign states: “We ask people to defend human rights in the United States. There is no sense in using tax-dollars to profile and detain hardworking people. These bills aim to create a society filled with racial tensions instead of addressing the real problem, a mass of people without rights.”

The March and Protest at Hammond Indiana is organize by the Northeast Churches of Indiana with the Title “LA GRAN MARCHA”. The time frame is from 12:00pm-4:00pm, starting at Bishop Noll Institute in Hammond Indiana and ending on 144th E. Indianapolis Blvd at St. Maria Church in East Chicago, Indiana.

Immigrant Rights Feeder March Contingent
~~~Espanol Abajo~~~
IMMIGRANT RIGHTS FEEDER MARCH CONTINGENT TO MARCH TO PROTEST “EIGHT YEARS OF WAR AND OCCUPATION”
JOIN IMMIGRANT RIGHTS ADVOCATES AND UNDOCUMENTED YOUTH AS THEY SAY NO TO MILITARIZATION AND AN END TO U.S WARS!!!
What: Immigrant Rights Feeder March against the Militarization of our people. Feeder march will head downtown for the March and Rally against US occupation of Iraq
When: Saturday, March 19th at 10:00am. Feeder march will start promptly at 11am heading to downtown where they will join the organized Rally and March on Michigan Ave and Congress Prkwy
Where: Biblioteca Popular, 1921 S. BlueIsland, in Pilsen neighborhood.
Why:
The American Government continues to take advantage of the desperation in our undocumented and immigrant community. We are being tricked by legislations that are worded with the illusory language of the military as an option.
Our current dire situation such as the chronic economic crisis in our communities, austerity measures that have allowed budget cuts to public services, broken down school systems, no jobs, and the persecution of our families through anti-immigrant laws only set the right conditions for legislations like the latest draft of the Dream Act to funnel thousands of undocumented youth to the hands of the military.
The cruel toll that these current wars have taken on thousands of dead and maimed soldiers and of Iraqi and Afghani people; the use of the military in our Southern Border, which push people to cross in places where their death can be guaranteed, makes the option of the military one that is neither neutral nor benevolent. We cannot accept any pathway to citizenship into this Country by continuing the occupation of other people’s land and the murder of other disenfranchised people around the world.
For this reason, as immigrants and as undocumented people, we stand against these wars and the militarization of more of our own and any other people in order to go perpetuate violence in the name of freedom and democracy for the profit of Corporations.
As it was recently stated by Undocumented Youth on the March 10th 2011 Mobilization for Immigrant Justice;
“We understand that immigrants are part of a global system that oppresses different communities on different levels, and that all those systematically oppressed are in a sense Undocumented. The Struggle cannot be merely a fight for “papers”. It is a fight against a system that makes more and more people illegitimate: it is a fight for justice beyond all borders”.
Immigrant Rights Feeder March Contingent Message:
“MONEY FOR JOBS AND EDUCATION NOT FOR WARS AND DEPORTATIONS”
Undocumented youth will speak up against the Militarization.

—————————————————————————-
La comunidad de derechos pro-inmigrante participa en la Manifestación y Gran Marcha en contra de la guerra por medio de un contingente de marcha/caminata.
Únete al movimiento en favor de los derechos de los inmigrantes y a los jóvenes indocumentados en una caminata/marcha que se llevara a cabo como parte de la protesta y gran marcha principal que se organiza en el octavo aniversario de la invasión, ocupación y guerra de los estados unidos en contra de los Iraquíes, este sábado 19 de marzo del 2011.
¿Qué?: Una caminata/marcha del movimiento inmigrante en contra de la Militarización de nuestra gente rumbo al centro de la ciudad para un Mitin y Gran Marcha en contra de las ocupaciones estadounidenses en Iraq y el medio oeste
¿Cuándo?: Sábado, 19 de marzo alas 10:00am. El Contingente de marcha comenzara a las 11:00am rumbo al centro de la ciudad donde se reunirán con el resto de la manifestación prevista.
¿Dónde?: Biblioteca Popular, 1921 S. BlueIsland Ave, in Pilsen
¿Por qué marchamos?
El Gobierno estadounidense sigue tomando ventaja de la desesperación de nuestra comunidad inmigrante e indocumentada. Estamos siendo engañados por las legislaciones que se han formulado con el lenguaje iluso de las fuerzas armadas como una opción.
Actualmente nuestras situaciones difíciles como, la crisis económica que existe en nuestras comunidades, los recortes presupuestarios a los servicios públicos, el desglose del sistema escolar, la perdida de trabajos, y la persecución de nuestras familias a través de leyes anti-inmigrantes, sólo establecen las condiciones adecuadas para que legislaciones tal como la última propuesta de la Ley del Sueño conocida como “ Dream Act”, por sus siglas en inglés, ayude a canalizar a miles de nuestros jóvenes indocumentados a las manos de los militares y que sean usados como carne de cañón.
La cruel cifra de vidas inocentes que las guerras actuales se han tomado, sobrepasan los miles cuales incluyendo las muertes y mutilaciones de soldados, gente del pueblo iraquí y afgano, y de varias comunidades vecinas del medio oeste.
El uso de los militares en la frontera sur de los estados unidos, empuja a la gente a cruzar en lugares donde se puede garantizar su muerte. Esto hace que la opción de las fuerzas armadas no sea neutral ni benevolente. No podemos aceptar ninguna vía a la ciudadanía en este país por el simple hecho de continuar con las ocupaciones de tierras de otras personas y continuar con el asesinato de otras personas marginadas del mundo.
Por esta razón, como inmigrantes y personas indocumentadas que somos, estamos en contra de estas guerras estadounidenses, de la militarización de miles de los nuestros y de cualquier otra gente y pueblo, que solo son usadas con el fin de ir y perpetuar violencia en el nombre de la libertad y de la democracia para el beneficio de grandes empresas y destrucción de nuestras comunidades.
El Contingente de marcha/caminata pro-inmigrante lleva el mensaje de:
“No a la Militarización y fin a las guerras estadounidenses” “Dinero Si, para empleos y educación. Dinero No, para guerras ni deportaciones”
Jóvenes indocumentados hablaran en contra de la Militarización.

Mass Mobilization for Immigrant justice!

The recent struggles for liberation in Tunisia and Egypt have ignited a combatant spirit all over the world. In the US, the struggle in Wisconsin is a new beginning. Public sector workers, youth, anti-war organizations and disability activists are uniting to address the multifaceted system of oppression that constructs borders between oppressed communities, keeping us divided. It is time to challenge the politics of scapegoating that conceals the root causes of the current social, political and economic crisis. As people committed to fighting for immigrant justice, we recognize we can no longer look to politicians and their liberal organizations for real change. We need a new vision and new concrete tools for struggle.
The ongoing criminalization of immigrants is part of a global economic system that finds profit in the incarceration, displacement, and repression of millions across the globe. Despite the solidarity that has blossomed among people who are recognized as citizens and those labeled undocumented, citizenship continues to be one of the main mechanisms for rendering people exploitable. It has been wielded as a ruthless tool for dividing us, forcing us to compete against each other in a global race to the bottom. Liberation Square is a call to “cross borders” between struggles, between divided communities and between forced political identities. Because in a system of laws that are stacked against us, we are all being made undocumented – from communities that are internally displaced to communities facing mass incarceration, from criminalized dissenters to AWOL soldiers. The struggle cannot be merely a fight for “papers”. It is a fight against a system that makes more and more people illegitimate: it is a fight for justice beyond all borders !!!
Join us at Liberation Square!! This is a community gathering and speak-out on the connections between immigrant rights, militarization and the global economic system. We will also march for an action at Boeing, one of the largest military contractors who has also made enormous profits from border militarization. In their never-ending hunger for profits, corporations like Boeing have been a major driving force behind increasing anti-immigrant hatred at home, and increasing wars abroad – because their profit margins depend on fueling the war machine and on making more and more people “illegal”. We will confront Boeing with our message: you are guilty of crimes against our humanity!

Press release: March 10 Mobilization
For more information, contact:
Carmela Garcia, 847-809-0611
Jose Herrera 773-632-9992
WHAT: Press Conference on Immigrants Rights March and Liberation Square.
Organizers call press conference to announce a mass Mobilization for Immigrant Justice on March 10th, an end to the Illinois anti-immigrant bill, HB 1969, and comment on the election of Rahm Emanuel as Chicago mayor.
WHO: An alliance of Immigrant Rights Activists, Social Justice Organizers, Community members, Undocumented Youth organizers.
Inspired by the Liberation Square in Cairo which eventually overthrew the 30-year dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak, immigrant rights groups will be holding a press conference at 10:30 am on Thursday, Feb. 24th to announce a Liberation Square and march to be held on the historic day of immigrant unity, March 10th.
In light of the recent anti-immigrant legislation HB 1969 introduced in the Illinois General Assembly and the election of a new mayor, Rahm Emanuel, who comes from an administration which has been at the head of record deportations, March 10 organizers are connecting the movement for immigrant rights with global struggles for justice, dignity, equality for all.
The Liberation Square and march will be held on the 5th anniversary of the pro-immigrant mega-marches of 2006, which occurred in a similar climate of anti-immigrant legislation and austerity.
“A Liberation Square is a place where we can meet free of oppression, and organize our struggles” said Jesus Guillen, a youth organizer of the March 10 event. “We are making a national call for other communities to create their own “Liberation Squares”, to create spaces where people from different struggles can unite” he concluded.
Along with the planned march, organizers will be available to speak about other planned actions on the day, including an action at the Boeing headquarters, one of the largest military contractors in the world.
“We understand that immigrants are part of a global system that oppresses different communities on different levels, and that all those systematically oppressed are in a sense Undocumented” said Carmela Garcia, a youth organizer of the March 10 event.
From Egypt to Madison, from North Africa to Ohio, people have been raising their voices against oppression and inequality. With this in mind, Chicago reignites the Immigrant Rights struggle as a struggle for justice beyond all borders.
This press conference will be an opportunity to interview youth organizers, artists and community groups about the planned march, its connection to the larger struggles in the United States and globally and the continued expansion of the movement under a new mayor.

The ABC’s of Struggle – A Celebration of Immigrant Resistance
The ABC’s of Struggle
Join us in celebrating the struggles of all those the system seeks to exclude, scapegoat and criminalize. Lets make 2011 a year of solidarity and radical actions, a time to find and strengthen the intersections of our struggles.
The deepening political crisis has inspired us, as immigrant rights organizers, to rewrite the
ABC’s of our own struggle and we begin with:
“A is for AMNESTY and ABOLITION”
When: Thursday, January 27th 2011 7:00PM
Where: UE Hall 37 S. Ashland Ave
What: A Celebration, Open Mike, Stand Up and Speak-Out Party!
Come share your resolutions for action and your visions for 2011. Bring your own ABC’s of Struggle to share, or let’s write some together!!! There will be Music, Dancing, Snacks, sign-making and people to connect and share ideas with!
Who: This is a gathering of the scapegoated, an invitation for those who have dared to speak back and speak out. It is hosted by a small group of immigrant rights organizers who want to build cross-sectional alliances and radicalize the Immigrant rights movement.
Why: As the crisis deepens, market democracy needs more and more scapegoats. Immigrants are criminalized; African Americans are subject to mass incarceration; Arab Americans are demonized as terrorists; queer people are vilified; people with disabilities are shut out; women are domesticated; anti-war activists are tracked and targeted….. 2010 brought us the SB 1070 epidemic, the FBI witch-hunts and record foreclosures. 2010 is the year in which the state intensified its capacity to make millions of people illegitimate by law.
We entered 2011 with a simple commitment:
We will not become what you make of us!
We will not be your scapegoats, smokescreen, underclass, cannon fodder!
We will not go away!
Letras de Lucha
Únase a nosotros en la celebración de las luchas de todos aquellos que el sistema trata de excluir por medio del chivo expiatorio y de la criminalización de gente. Vamos a hacer del 2011 un año de solidaridad y de acciones radicales, un tiempo para fortalecer y conectar las intersecciones de nuestras luchas. La profundización de la crisis política nos ha inspirado, como organizadores de derechos de los inmigrantes, a volver a escribir el abecedario con letras de nuestra propia lucha, y hemos comenzado con:
“La Letra (A) es para Amnistía y Abolición”
¿Cuándo?: Jueves, Enero 27 2011, 7:00PM
¿Dónde?: UE Hall 37 S. Ashland Ave
¿Qué?:
¡Una Celebración, Micrófono Abierto y Fiesta!
Ven y comparte tus resoluciones de acción y tus visiones para el año 2011. Trae tus propias “Letras de Lucha” para compartir, o escribamos algunas Letras de Lucha juntos durante la Celebración. Habrá Música, Baile, Comida, Entretenimiento y Gente con quien conectarse y con quien compartir ideas.
¿Quién?:
Esta es una reunión de los llamados chivos expiatorios, una invitación para aquellos que se han atrevido a hablar. Es organizado por un grupo pequeño de organizadores de derechos de los inmigrantes que quieren construir alianzas y radicalizar el movimiento de los derechos de los inmigrantes.
¿Por qué?:
Entre más la crisis se profundiza, la democracia del mercado necesita cada día mas y mas chivos expiatorios. Los inmigrantes son criminalizados, los afro-americanos están sujetos al encarcelamiento masivo, estadounidenses de origen árabe son demonizados como terroristas, la gente gay/queer son despreciados y atacados, las personas con discapacidad son excluidos, las mujeres están siendo domesticadas, los activistas en contra de la guerra son localizados y perseguidos. El año 2010 nos trajo la epidemia de la ley SB 1070, El perseguimiento ilegitimo del FBI a nuestros activistas, y el record de ejecuciones hipotecarias. 2010 es el año en que el gobierno intensifico su capacidad para hacer que millones de personas fueran ilegitimas por la ley.
Entramos en el año 2011 con un compromiso simple:
¡No nos convertiremos en lo que quieren!
¡No vamos a ser su chivo expiatorio, su cortina de humo, su clase baja, ni su carne de cañón!
¡No vamos a desaparecer!
¡Seguiremos luchando y venceremos!

CINE CLUB JUSTICIA IS A PROJECT OF THE JUSTICE MISSION AND DONATION BASED CINE CLUB!
Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission was founded on March 13 2007
by Father Jose S. Landaverde and the community of faith-based residents of the Little Village Neighborhood who saw a need to become actively engaged in efforts for social and economic justice for residents marginalized or criminalized by the larger systemic structures by creating hope for those without hope, specially for our Immigrant Community.
The Justice Mission is founded on the belief that to fight for social, political and economic change we must nurture the leadership potential, art and power of our community. We serve the Little Village community of Chicago, working primarily with immigrant families and individuals.
