 Francisco, CA\n>\n>Thousands of immigrant airport workers across 
 the\ncountry stand to lose\n>their jobs because of a post-9/11 requirement 
 that\nmandates all pre-board\n>screeners to be U.S. citizens. This 
 anti-immigrant\nrequirement has nothing\n>to do with -- and in fact will 
 compromise -- travel\nsafety. At San\n>Francisco Airport, more than 500 
 overwhelmingly\nFilipino screeners are set\n>to lose their jobs in the 
 coming months -- unless we\nact now. Numerous\n>workers and activists have 
 already been hard at work\nin this struggle. At\n>our January 28 meeting, 
 we heard updates from union\nand other activists,\n>and resolved to support 
 each others' work. Join us\nat the next meeting to\n>build wider support 
 and plan for collective action.\n>\n>We stand in solidarity with and call 
 on all Filipino\ncommunity, immigrant\n>rights and labor activists -- and 
 everyone disgusted\nby the recent attacks\n>on immigrants and workers -- to 
 join us in this key\nbattle.\n>\n>Sponsors, supporters and participants:
