DESCRIPTION:Department of Homeland Security just announced at their website, they will 
 hold a "public" meeting on May 1st at UC Davis campus on REAL ID. It's 
 ompletely insensitive and cruel for the DHS to quietly hold a racist 
 anti-immigrant meeting at the date of the historical national day of 
 immigrant mobilization! \n\n---------\nThe DHS has issued this statement 
 about the meeting:\n\n"The Department of Homeland Security, Office of the 
 Secretary, will hold a public meeting to receive comments on the Notice of 
 Proposed Rulemaking, ''Minimum Standards for Driver's Licenses and 
 Identification Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official 
 Purposes,'' published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2007 (72 FR 
 10820). We encourage interested parties to attend the meeting and submit 
 comments for discussion during the meeting. In addition, we will also seek 
 comments via email for discussion during the meeting from any party who is 
 unable to attend in person. The webcast of the public meeting will be 
 viewable at http://www.realidtownhall.com "\n\nAccording to the 
 DHS:\nDATES: Public Meeting: We will hold the meeting on May 1, 2007, from 
 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.\n\nADDRESSES: We will hold the meeting in Freeborn Hall 
 on the campus of the University of California, Davis. The university is 
 located in the City of Davis, approximately 11 miles west of downtown 
 Sacramento. The street address for Freeborn Hall is 104 Freeborn Hall, One 
 Shields Ave., Davis, CA 95616.\n\n \nFOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 
 information concerning this public meeting, please contact Mike Kangior,

 202–282–8939.\n\nFor more information about the meeting:

 area immigrant activists didn't know about the upcoming meeting. It's clear 
 that DHS is not interest about the public opinion, since they are holding 
 the meeting at campus during the mid-date to avoid community and public 
 participation, and just like other past government-sponsored immigrant 
 meetings, they just want to see a small groups of pre-selected 
 anti-immigrant groups to speak and testify, so it could making like 
 majority of public opinions "support" government's racist anti-immigrant 
 legislation.\n \nWe encourage community activists from Davis and around 
 areas to mobilize to attend the meeting at UC Davis, and raise our loud and 
 strong voice about NO TO THE RACIST READ ID at the May Day immigrants 
 mobilization!\n\nThere will ALSO be a rally for UC WORKER RIGHTS going on 
 from 11am to 1pm right down the street, so many activists will be otherwise 
 occupied. PLEASE PLEASE come out and speak your mind on the issues at 
 hand!\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/04/26/18405698.php
