May Day 2010

May Day 2010:We Made Another History!

Hundreds of Thousands Marched Across The U.S.
Against Racist AZ SB 1070 and Demands for Immigrant Workers Rights!

May Day 2010, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, activists, students and workers across the country marched at over hundred cities/communities to celebrate May Day 2010 and send unmistakable messages against Racist AZ SB 1070 and demands for immigrant workers rights! with TRUE immigration reform that will path of residency/citizenships for 12+ millions undocumented immigrants in this country.

Immigrant rights is one of the most important struggles in the U.S. right now. With the recent passage of Arizona's anti-immigrant SB 1070 bill, many immigrants and activists are comparing this to the rebirth of Jim Crow and racial profiling. We have also seen an increase in the militarization of local police forces and of our borders in another racist effort to divide our country.

While U.S. corporate media downplaying the importance and the size of the May Day 2010 mobilizations (as usual, we're also getting many racist hate calls/e-mails threaten us), our movement cannot be silent and stop!
