Anima!! March for Migrant Rights

Join millions across the nation for this National Day of Action

Monday April 10th
5pm @ Milam Park (Commerce & Santa Rosa)

Inside the Beltway the debate centers around a failed immigration systems that requires 'beefing up' border and interior security. This system that allows 12 million folks to live in the shadows is supported by corporation and politicians because it creates a pool of cheap exploitable labor demanded by 'the rich need to get richer' economics.

The current crisis is intensified by flawed free trade agreements that create a 'race to the bottom' and force desperate families ot serch for another livelihood. For 12 years, we have witnessed the disaster of NAFTA on both sides of the border and fear the consequences of CAFTA and the newly proposed AFTA (Andean Free Trade Agreement).

The House proposal to construct a wall from San Diego to Brownsville escalates violence, divides families and destroys communities. This Wall of Death is posed to create a highly militarized war zone in the southwest.

The discussions of a temporary guest worker program brings memories of the bracero program that exploited millions. Any guest worker program systematically denies workers basic human rights and relegates workers to the mercy of corporate bosses.

Instead, we call for the rights of all to live with dignity and justice. To cooperate to establish labor standards that provide a living wage for all. To establish a open, peaceful and friendly border.
