Immigrant rights and Latino organizations all over the US are calling for a general strike on May 1st, 2006-- MayDay, or International Workers Day. The March 25th Coalition against HR 4437 in Los Angeles has called for nationwide coordination, around the points "No Work, No School, No Sales, and No Buying," and also for rallies around symbols of economic trade. The coalition believes that "with numbers we have power, the power currently necessary to keep the pressure on the White House to propose provisions that are just and fair for all immigrants."

In the central valley, things are no different. In Modesto, groups from various high schools are meeting up, and then marching to a rally point.

In Sacramento, groups are rallying at the State capital.

In Fresno there will be a rally at 5:30 PM in front of Fresno City Hall for a collective dialogue with the community. MECHA and other groups will also hold an event on the Fresno State Campus.

In Stockton, there will be a march and rally starting at 9AM.
