Dear Member of the Wisconsin Legalization Coalition and
Allies:
On
Thursday, May 1, 2008 Voces de la Fronterais holding a statewide "Day Without Latinos" march as
part of a national day of action to call for justice for immigrants.
The immigrant rights movement
has made great progress over the last two years in defeating some of the most
anti-democratic legislative proposals in the history of this nation. All three
remaining presidential candidates support some form of immigration reform.
However, we face continued efforts to criminalize both employers and workers
through initiatives like the Social Security No Match Letters, increased raids
that tear families apart, and anti-immigrant local and state ordinances that
have led to increased racial profiling, civil rights abuses, and economic damage
to local communities.
Last year at least 80,000 people of
all races and ages from across the state marched in Milwaukee to support civil
rights for immigrants. This year we must mobilize again in massive numbers to
send a clear message of the need for change.We are
inviting you and your organization to join our efforts.
Here
is how you can support and be involved:
Help get out the word about the
march to your networks, and commit to organize to send a delegation to the march
on May 1st.To show your presence and support,
encourage your delegation to bring signs or banners.
The Voces de la Frontera Newspaper
will be publishing a commemorative edition of the march in May and any sponsors
to this event will be acknowledged, unless otherwise requested.
Please contact Alexis Cazco by phone 414-643-1620 x202 or by
e-mail alexis@vocesdelafrontera.net.
A profound gracias for your
interest and anticipated participation!
