The following is the agenda for this MAY DAY RALLY:

May 1st General Strike Called
by Mayday Wednesday, Apr. 26, 2006 at 7:18 PM


Huge all day rallies set for May Day

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.

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.

In Mexico, a nation that has become dependent upon the billions of dollars that illegal workers inside the United States send home each year, it is being called “Nothing Gringo Day.”

I'm sure the crowd surrounding the Western Union outlet will be as large as ever.

My husband just rode the bus to the parking garage from Hobby Airport and the bus driver, who is not hispanic, believes that airport operations will really be screwed on Monday because so many people won't be at work.

The dems and the teamsters are busy counting the number of increased democrat voters and union dues, laughing about how they so successfully divided us, we still haven't figured out what hit us.

Hillary, Kennedy and Kerry are probably practicing their May Day Boycott speaches!

Most Latinos are Catholic......

ok, nope, no connection there....

There is undoubtedly a connection, but so many are joining evangelical and pentecostal churches once they get here. Filling the pews and offering basket is no doubt a consideration, but there has to be more to it than that. Their interpretation of social justice?

They were hiding illegals in churches for many years now, before this became such a problem and political football.

I don't know how God would see it. A perfect world would have no borders, but would have laws.

"There will be 2 to 3 million people hitting the streets in Los Angeles alone."

And GWB says we can't round them all up to send them home. Well, 3 million of 'em congregated in one place is a good start. We think they're stupid for gathering together and making themselves visible. We're the stupid ones, sitting back, watching and doing nothing while they're virtually flipping us off.

Re Catholic church's support. Ted Hayes (I think that's his name) was interviewed on Fox yesterday and addressed this issues. He's a militant black man, but vigorously opposed to illegal emigration. He is concentrating on educating the church with the point that almost 100% of the illegals from Mexico are Roman Catholic. Christian. A Christian tenet is "thou shalt not steal." By being here illegally, they are stealing and, therefore, sinning. They're losing those gettin'-to-Heaven brownie points, if you believe in good works as the way to Heaven which, I guess, they do.

Why don't they fight the root problem?

I can just see my priest frowning on me now :-(. Maybe it's my imagination, but it seems like if I dared say anything about it, they would come back with some platitude about how I am wrong. In theory maybe I am wrong. In practice I am not. We have a problem, and your solution is the only lasting one.

Good question. The more we take in, the less they will do to fight against the corruption and stagnation in Latin (and South) America. In the long run, it isn't going to solve anything and could backfire on us bigtime if there is a major event where we can no longer artifically keep the economy stimulated.

I'm not familiar with the doctrine of social justice (have my own sense of fair play which probably needs a little fine tuning), so it could have something to do with that. No, it's a Jesuit plot :-). No, social justice is only important in wealthy countries like we are. It doesn't apply to the poorer countries where there never has been social justice, and the way things are going, it's getting worse, not better. There is still a considerable catholic influence in the southern hemisphere.

It is hard to spout off about this without coming across as catholic bashing. There are so many things the church stands for I support. I also support justice when it is fair across the board.

Another consideration is that too many catholics in this country would tip the political balance. But so many would go over to the Dems. Heck, "my Sunday visitor" was a second maybe third generation legal Mexican who was talking to me about this. I told her I was torn about it, but they were here illegally. She didn't seem to understand. I explained that always before people had to wait in line to get their turn to enter the country like her people had to do.

Now she has had two abortions and has left the catholic church, but her family is still catholic. Her mother paid for an abortion for her sister, maybe two. The sister is now blaming the mother for killing her children. I'm not writing this to blast them, but if you don't take your catholicism seriously, this is what happens. That is my point. I don't know if the mother even knows or cares how sinful it was her part in it. I don't hate people who have had abortions, but it is hard to listen to their regrets and see light at the end of the tunnel for them. The one is sorry. I assume she is forgiven. She says her babies are in heaven. I hope she is right even if she doesn't practice catholicism any more. As to that, I don't know why she left; I don't think they have a good grasp of the good things catholicism stands for, and it is a hard religion.

I think I understand why she likes her church better now, and TBN. Now I told her I was way past all that stuff, don't want to go back to any of that, what can one say? I'm floundering, too, but I know what I'm grounded in and what I am not for now.

Please don't misunderstand. I like her for the good in her, and she does have some serious problems to deal with. I don't know how to help her so just listen and explain what I do know as best I can. She has a really neat personality. Maybe she is helping me. Maybe we are helping each other. I don't know.
