As you may be aware, the Longshoremen are stopping work on the west coast on May 1st to protest the continued war in Iraq. Start: 10:30
MAKE MAYDAY A "NO PEACE, NO WORK HOLIDAY"! The following was written by Jack Heyman a longshoreman who works on the Oakland docks. Longshoremen to close ports on West Coast to protest war While millions of people worldwide have marched against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and last week's New York Times/CBS News poll indicated that 81 percent believe the country is headed in the wrong direction - key concerns being the war and the economy - the war machine inexorably grinds on. Amid this political atmosphere, dockworkers of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union have decided to stop work for eight hours in all U.S. West Coast ports on May 1, International Workers' Day, to call for an end to the war.

Stop the Raids & Deportations MASS RALLY for IMMIGRANT & WORKER RIGHTS Thursday May 1st May Day 2008 is critically important. Will the optimism and hope expressed around the Presidential elections translate into an end of immigrant raids & deportations? Will it bring an end to the foreclosures of homes, the lowering of gas and food prices, or an end to lay-offs? Whatever the outcome in November, the May 1st Coalition for Immigrant and Worker Rights will be marching once again on May Day, International Workers Day, to say no to all the attacks against workers here and around the world. We call on the progressive community, the anti-war movement, the women’s & lgbt movement, and especially on the labor movement, to come out for May Day 2008. March for solidarity, because an injury to one is an injury to all! We say: Start: 12:00

Hear professors, students and staff speak about the truth behind five years of war and colonial occupation that are destroying Iraq and Afghanistan. Learn more about the real history of this and other wars, and struggles for workers rights going back to the origins of “May Day,” when immigrant and U.S.-born workers joined together to fight for the eight-hour day. Today, history is being made by workers in the United States using their power against the war: the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has decided to shut down all 29 West Coast ports for a full 8-hour shift against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. We will show solidarity with this exciting action of the Longshore workers, who have a long history of fighting against racism, repression and war. Sponsored by the Hunter chapter of PSC-CUNY.

A Day of Action for Immigrant Rights Pickets at the RNC and DNC offices on Capitol Hill: Gather at the Capitol South Metro at 12:30 pm Mass Rally in Malcolm X Park: 4PM With national elections underway, this is a critical time for advocates of justice for immigrant communities to raise our voices in solidarity. Raids and deportations continue to tear families apart, both across the country and within the Washington metropolitan region. We aim to challenge the climate of fear that these raids have produced and to show that the immigrant community will not be silenced. We invite all organizations committed to the struggle for social justice to join us in making this mobilization a success. Our demands include: * Immigration Reform with Justice and Dignity for All | ||
