March 25 Coalition, Centros Sin Fronteras, the National Lawyers Guild
and the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation announced that they

Statement by Juan Jose Gutierrez,
Executive Director of Latino Movement USA and the International May 1

"This is a critical moment. It is only the action of the people
that can push back racism and win important concessions. Comprehensive
immigration reform, which gives full legalization to undocumented workers
and families, is an imperative."
