El Gran Paro | 1o de Mayo, 2006 | San Francisco

No Trabajo, No Escuela, No Ventas, No Compras!
Hacia un mundo sin fronteras, donde nadie es "ilegal"!

Convergencias en San Francisco:

8:30am - Montgomery y Market (Montgomery BART)
11:00am - Embarcadero (Embarcadero BART)
3:00pm - Centro Cívico de San Francisco (Civic Center BART)
5:00pm - Edificio Federal (450 Golden Gate )

Ven preparad@ con cazuelas, ollas, y cucharas grandes para hacer ruido (CACEROLAZO), energía y creatividad para sumergir todo el comercio en San Francisco! Vistase de blanco y busque las banderas con una cazuela y cuchara en ellas.

Nosotr@s Demandamos:

* Amnistía completa, incondicional e inmediata para todos los migrantes.
* Libertad de movimiento para tod@s
* Libertad para tod@s l@s detenid@s por ICE y la abolición de los centros de detención.
* Desmilitarizar la frontera Estados Unidos-Mexico .
* La revocación de NAFTA y todos los acuerdos de comercio neo-liberales que crean condiciones económicas que "induce" el desempleo másivo y el desplazamiento de la gente.

Nosotr@s Comprometemos a:

* Resistencia activa hasta que tod@s tengamos libertad de movimiento!
* Resistencia activa contra todos los ataques sobre l@s migrantes, incluso deportaciones, y detenciones!

Nosotr@s Creemos que:

El incremento de la militarización por la frontera de Mexico y Estados Unidos, que ya hoy dia se ha convertido en una auténtica zona de guerra y sirve como un recuerdo brutal sobre como todas las fronteras funcionan como partes integrales y intencionales de un systema de economia exploitativo y inseparable del capitalismo y de la globalización neo-liberal. La frontera de Mexico y E.E.U.U. , y todas las fronteras entre estados de naciones y gobiernos, son reproducidos en nuestras mentes y por toda la sociedad, y sirven para imponer legitimizar el racismo, la disparidad, y las relaciones de explotación entre la gente. Es por esto que la demanda para una amnistía general para tod@s l@s inmigrantes y el libre movimiento de la gente, se dirige hacia la justicia para l@s inmigrantes al mismo tiempo que aspira hacia un mundo libre de diviciones destructivas. Mas información sobre nuestro analisis se encuentra diponible http://www.agp.org

Más información y oportunidades para organizar seran disponibles en la consulta abierta, que se llevara acabo el 23 de Abril, a las 6 de la tarde, en el lugar que será anunciada.

General Strike | May 1, 2006 | San Francisco
No Work, No School, No Selling, No Buying!
Towards a World Without Borders, where No One is "Illegal".

Convergences in San Francisco:

8:30am - Montgomery & Market (Montgomery BART)
11:00am - Embarcadero (Embarcadero BART)
3:00pm - San Francisco Civic Center (Civic Center BART)
5:00pm - Federal Building (450 Golden Gate)

Come prepared with pots and spoons to bang together (CACEROLAZO), energy and creativity to drown out business in San Francisco! Wear white and look for the flags with a pot and spoon on them.

We Demand:

* Full, unconditional and immediate "amnesty" for all immigrants.
* Free movement for all people.
* Freedom for all ICE detainees and the abolition of detention centers.
* De-militarization of the US-Mexico border.
* The repeal of NAFTA and all neoliberal trade agreements which create economic conditions leading to the displacement of people.

We Pledge:

* Active resistance until we are all free to move!
* Active resistance against all attacks on immigrants, deportations and detentions!

We Believe:

The increasing militarization along the US-Mexico border -- by now a veritable war zone -- serves as a brutal reminder that all borders operate as integral and deliberate parts of exploitative economic systems, inseparable from capitalism and neoliberal globalization. The US-Mexico border, and all other borders between nation-states and governments, are reproduced in our minds and throughout society, serving to enforce and legitimize the boundaries, disparities, and exploitative relationships between people. The demand for full amnesty and free movement of people, therefore, aims at justice for immigrants at the same time as it aspires to a world free from all such destructive divisions. More information on our analysis is available at http://www.agp.org

To Help Organize:
More information and planning opportunities will be available at an open consulta, to be held April 23, 6:00pm at a location to be announced. For updates check:

Please change the 11 a.m. time for the march to 12 p.m. so that those of us who cannot take off work can at least march.

This Mayday march is a milestone in San Francisco and American history. There has been no march on Mayday in over 55 years, and is certainly not in memory of most of us. The previous Mayday marches ended with the anti-communist witchhunts of 1946-1950s. It is noteworthy that the Mayday March has been revived by foreign born workers. The original Mayday was based on a movement for the eight-hour day that was filled with foreign born workers in Chicago.

We are certainly now in a labor era which means we can expect fundamental change, finally bringing us a national healthcare system and at end to the death penalty, at the very least.

Oh, don't worry--if you show up at noon, there will still be thousands of people waiting to get into Market Street for the march up to Civic Center Plaza. Marches this big take hours to progress, from start to finish.

Show up, bring your friends, and march with us!
