DESCRIPTION:Please Distribute Widely!\n\nMay 1, 2008 - San Francisco/ National Call for 
 Action\n\nIN SOLIDARITY WITH THE NATIONAL CALL FOR ACTION FOR INTERNATIONAL 
 WORKERS’ DAY AND THE END TO THE WAR\nPEACEFUL MARCH\nMAY 1st\n\nOn 
 Thursday, May 1st 2008, thousands will rally at Dolores Park to commemorate 
 International Workers Day and demand an end to the War in Iraq. Under the 
 theme “Workers United Without Borders, “ immigrant rights groups, 
 unions, faith based groups and local officials will march to Civic Center 
 where they will meet with ILWU local 10 for a rally and festival  in front 
 of City Hall.  Speakers will include Cindy Sheehan, Cynthia Mckinney, and 
 David Bacon.\n\nPROGRAM FOR MAY 1ST\n    * 12:00p.m. Volunteer Orientation 
 and Lunch at Dolores Park\n\n    *  2:00-3:30pm Dolores Park Rally\n\n    * 
  3:30-4:30pm March to Civic Center\n\n    *  5:00pm-6pm Rally at Civic 
 Center\n \nWHY WE ARE MARCHING ON MAY 1ST\nTwo years after the failure of 
 HR4437, three new anti-immigrant, racist measures have been introduced by 
 Republicans and supported by many Democrats. These are HR4088, the SAVE 
 ACT, HR5515, and Resolution 239.  \n \nAs we see no end to the war in Iraq 
 or Afghanistan and the economy plummets, it is crucial that immigrants 
 integrate into the workers rights movement to unite against the war at 
 home, in the form of the aforementioned measures, and the war abroad.   \n 
 \nOur Demands Are:\n \n• Stop the War at Home and Abroad\n• Stop the 
 Persecution and Repression of Immigrants\n• Stop the Violation of Labor, 
 Human and Civil Rights of All Workers\n• Stop the Gentrification of Our 
 San Francisco Neighborhoods\n• Unconditional Amnesty-Papers for 
 All\n\nParticipating Organizations:\nAct Now to Stop War and End Racism,
