Chinga La Migra! Happy 5º de Mayo!
Emergency Action: No Raids in Our Community!
Monday, May 5th, 12 noon
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office
(630 Sansome Street at Washington, San Francisco)
**Meet at Sansome and Market at 11:40 to march to the office**
On Friday, May 2nd – the day after thousands of Bay Area residents marched for immigrants’ rights – immigration agents arrested about 60 workers at taquerias across San Francisco and the East Bay. Some are still imprisoned. Most of the employees had no criminal records. They were arrested for the crime of working to support their families.
Join unions, faith leaders and community groups in an emergency action outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility. Let ICE know that our community is united for the rights of all workers and human beings, and that we won’t let them punish our co-workers and neighbors for Congress’ failure to fix the immigration system.
Sponsored by: Bay Area Immigrant RIghts Coalition, Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice, East Bay Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice, Interfaith Coalition for Immigrant Rights, Bay Area Labor Coalition on Immigration, SF Organizing Project, Progressive Jewish Alliance.
