Bi-National Great American Boycott of 2006

Gran Protesta Binacional 2006

A day without an immigrant

Un día sin Inmigrantes

WHEN: San Diego May 1, 2006: Call to Action!

WHERE: The United States side will march from Larsen Park at noon to the San Ysidro border. We will then return to the starting point
for speeches, music, voter registration, cultural presentations and
much, much more!

WHO: “March 25th Coalition against HR4437 San Diego” will join the
“March 25th Coalition against HR4437 Los Angeles,” the organizers of the
mega march of almost 2 million on March 25th, in their efforts toward
“El Gran Paro Americano 2006.”

Nationwide Immigrant General Strike Wear White T-Shirt on May 1st!

More Info:

On May 1, we are calling for No Work, No School, No Sales, and No
Buying, and also to have rallies around symbols of economic trade in
your areas (stock exchanges, anti-immigrant corporations, etc.) to
protest the anti-immigrant movements across the country.

On May 1, we will wear "white" a T-Shirt and/or white arm bands, we can
paint and write our political demands (and creative arts) at the T-shirt
go to rally, protest, strike, vigil, work or school--we will have a
ocean of white T-shirts with our political demands from east coast to
west coast, at the street, work place, school, bus station & store...
and our voice will be LOUD AND CLEAR AND CANNOT BE SILENT FOR EVER!

Full Rights for All Immigrants--We will settle for nothing less than
full amnesty and dignity for the millions of undocumented workers
presently in the U.S. We believe that increased enforcement is a step in
the wrong direction and will only serve to facilitate more tragedies
along the Mexican-U.S. border in terms of deaths and family separation.

Immigrants contribute 7 billion in social security per year. They earn
240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5 billion, where
are the 85 billion? They also contribute to the U.S. economy 25 billion
more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc., etc.

According to the anti-immigrant politicians and hate-mongers,
“immigrants are a drain on society.” If this is true, then on May 1st
the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom. If not, we
prove them wrong once and for all. We know what will happen because we
know the truth!

SAN DIEGO

Gran Protesta Binacional 2006

Un día sin Inmigrantes

Llamado a la acción

San Diego, Primero de Mayo, 2006

DONDE: Marcharemos del Larsen Park a las 12 a la frontera internacional, luego al otro lado de San Ysidro y luego de regreso en una marcha triangular de 4 kilómetros. Tendremos oradores, música, registro para votar, presentaciones culturales y mucho más.

Invita: Coalición Marcha 25 de Marzo contra la Propuesta HR4437, San
Diego en unidad con la Coalición Marcha 25 de Marzo contra la Propuesta
HR4437, Los Angeles. Esta coalición jugó un papel organizativo central
en la mega protesta del 25 de marzo en Los Angeles en preparación de un
Gran Paro en Estados Unidos en 2006.

Inmigrantes en huelga a nivel nacional vestirán camisetas blancas el
primero de mayo, o una cinta blanca en el brazo o camisetas con diseños
en apoyo a la lucha por derechos plenos para los y las immigrantes.

Más información:

Para el primero de mayo llamamos a no trabajar, no ir a la escuela, no
vender, no comprar y tener marchas en centros económicos importantes
como bolsa de valores, corporaciones antiinmigrantes, etc., para
protestar las políticas contra los inmigrantes en EUA.

El primero de mayo usaremos una camiseta blanca o una banda blanca en el
brazo o pintaremos nuestras demandas en camisetas al ir a protestar en
marchas, paros, actos de vigilia en lugares de trabajo o en las
colonias. Tendremos un océano de camisetas blancas con nuestras demandas
que se escucharán de costa a costa en las calles, escuelas, lugares de
trabajo, estaciones de autobuses, tiendas, etc. Nuestras voces serán
claras y no podrán ser silenciadas nunca más.

Derechos plenos para toda y todos los inmigrantes: no aceptaremos menos.
Las medidas de reforzar el cerco fronterizo significan más tragedias,
muerte y separación de familias.

Las y los inmigrantes contribuimos con siete mil millones de dólares en
ingresos para los servicios de seguridad social en el país. También
ganamos 240 mil millones de dólares y pagamos 90 mil millones de dólares
en impuestos por año. En servicios sólo recibimos 5 mil millones, ¿dónde
están los otros 85 mil?

Los grupos antiinmigrantes y racistas afirman que los inmigrantes “son
una carga para la sociedad.” Si esto es verdad, entonces el primero de
mayo la bolsa de valores subirá mucho y la economía florecerá. Si esto
no sucede, mostraremos de manera definitiva que esos grupos están
equivocados. Y sabemos lo que pasará porque sabemos la verdad.
