At the April 3rd meeting of Stop The Checkpoints it was decided to hold a Planning Meeting on Monday, April 12th at 4:00 pm at the Port Angeles Library (their week-long furlough days are over now).

 

Planning will take place for actions on May 1st to promote real immigration reform based on human rights and workers’ rights instead of corporate profits.  Rallies and marches will be occurring in Seattle on April 10th and May 1st and in Mount Vernon on May 2nd and a great many other cities and towns across the U.S. on May Day–sparked by the massive immigrant workers walkout and march in Chicago on May Day, 2006 when busness as usual came to a standstill in downtown Chicago! 

 

Stop The Checkpoints committee will coordinate with folks going to the Seattle or Mount Vernon marches and will also plan a local event for those unable to travel.  It’s time to freshen up those picket signs and make some new ones!

Come to the Planning Meeting with your ideas!  Watch for future e-mail notices and check out the website at www.stopthecheckpoints.com for more details!

 

It is way past time for immigration reform, but let’s not settle for watered-down half-promises– Let’s Make It Real!
