May Day Cometh
whaa? too obvious?
Thousands of demonstrators are expected to clog city streets Thursday in support of immigration rights, just two days after [Our Little Town in The Country™’s] City Council officially drops all fees for large-scale free speech marches.
The cost to the city: $5,000 to $8,000.
Driving our town’s streets is akin to driving the New Jersey Turnpike [where I once saw a semi-tanker completely disappear into a pothole.]
The smaller of the two marches...500 to 1,000 Community College students…
The second march, sponsored by the May 1 Coalition, will begin at noon ... and will require the closure of several major intersections and a lane of traffic to accommodate the 5,000 to 7,000 marchers expected to participate along the 2.5-mile route.
Check your Hometown—they’ve got plans all ovah this country.
May Day 2008 the May 1st Coalition for Immigrant and Workers 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 the labor movement, to come out for May Day 2008. March for solidarity, because an injury to one is an injury to all!
Oh, yeah.
Guess this is what they’re fighting for?
Late last month Puente learned of another, little-known option for patients with certain healthcare needs. If she notified US Citizenship and Immigration Services that she was in the country illegally, state health officials might grant her full coverage through Medi-Cal, the state health services assistance program for the poor. Puente did so, her benefits were restored, and she is awaiting a fourth transplant at UCLA.
Wonder how “comprehensive immigration reform” will impact her case?
