Yesterday We Marched
Today We Organized
Tomorrow We'll Achieve Our Dreams and Goals!
On September 7 2006, when Congress return to Washington following summer recess, we are calling for Camp Democracy Immigrant Rights Day near Washington Monument.
Camp Democracy (http://www.CampDemocracy.org 9/5 - 9/21) aims to bring together peace and justice movements to find strength in numbers and cross issue organizing. Those attending the camp will learn about a variety of issues and acquire skills in communications, organizing, nonviolence, and lobbying.
Immigrant Rights Day will be one of the key days for the camp to build multi-ethnic, multi-issue and multi-constituent based immigrant movement, and linking peace movements with anti-war/anti-globalization movements, and mutually supporting each other's causes.
It is critical for the antiwar and immigrants rights movements to coordinate and support each other's struggle -- activists and organizers have a particular responsibility to point out the links between Katrina's impact, immigrant rights, civil liberties, labor rights and the U.S. war in Iraq because right-wing anti-immigrant forces have successfully created a 'common sense' message of links: September 11 = counter-terrorism = anti-immigrants = invade/occupy Iraq/Afghanistan = tax cut = faith-based initiatives.
On May 1st, we showed the world that our force, our strength and our voice cannot be silenced from this moment on! This is the birth of a new civil rights movement for the 21st century, and we will fight for our demands until we prevail.
