EL GRAN PARO AMERICANO 2006: THE GREAT AMERICAN BOYCOTT: A Librarian at Every Table. No. 337.

MAY 1, 2006: CALL TO ACTION!

"EL GRAN PARO AMERICANO 2006" "THE GREAT AMERICAN BOYCOTT
2006"

"Un dia sin immigrante" "A day without an immigrant"

Nationwide Immigrant General Strike

Immigrants contribute 7 billion in social security per year. they
earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5
billion, "where are the 85 billion?" They also contribute to the U.S.
economy 25 billion more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc.,
etc.
According
to the anti-immigrant politicians and hatemongers, "immigrants are a
drain on society." If this is true, then during the day on May 1st
the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom. If not, we
prove them wrong once and for all. We know what will happen!

Therefore, the "March 25th Coalition against HR4437 in Los Angeles,"
the organizers of the mega march of almost 2 million on March 25th,
has called for an emergency videoconferenced meeting on April 8th
between Los Angeles and any city that wishes to join the efforts
toward "El Gran Paro Americano 2006." The following meeting will take
place in Chicago on April 22nd, we ask that all that wish to
participate and be a part of a national effort on May 1st and
beyond, to attend by finding facilities in your areas that can hold
the meeting, technologically.

The points of unity are: No Work, No School, No Sales, and No Buying,
and also to have rallies around symbols of economic trade in your
areas (stock exchanges, anti-immigrant corporations, etc.).

Cities across the United States have marched during the week,
therefore, in essence observing a regional boycott, which is only
felt regionally. The March 25th Coalition against HR4437, calls for
these regions to develop a national network that will "connect the
dots." We believe 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.

We will settle for nothing less than full amnesty and dignity for the
millions of undocumented workers presently in the U.S. We believe
that increased enforcement is a step in the wrong direction and will
only serve to facilitate more tragedies along the Mexican-U.S. border
in terms of deaths and family separation.
