The Great May 1 Boycott


Join immigrants and supporters to make Monday, May 1, 2006 a national "day without an immigrant." Anti-immigration politicians and hatemongers call immigrants "a drain on society"--they try to pass repressive legislation like HR 4437 and encourage groups like the racist "Minutemen." But immigrants contribute billions to the economy and receive few benefits in return. We will settle for nothing less than full amnesty and dignity for the millions of undocumented workers presently in the United States. Let's show the government, corporations and racist politicians that a powerful, united peoples' movement has the power to win Civil Rights, workers' rights and make history. No business as usual on May 1. Take to the streets to support the boycott! Visit Answerla.org or call 323-464-1636 for more information.
As the picture above should remind everyone, boycotts do work. It can send a very powerful message to greedy politicians and their corporate masters that we--the working people of this country--have the real power. Let's use that power for the benefit of all working people. Workers of the world UNITE!

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."
