National Call
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.

PRC CONDEMNS KILLING OF CIVILIANS IN GAZA
PRESS RELEASE- 10/6/2006
The Palestinian Return Centre (PRC) London condemns in the strongest possible terms the brutal Israeli slaying of seven civilians including children in Gaza yesterday.
This latest outrage coincides with the imminent visit to London by the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert next week. The PRC calls upon all its friends and supporters to write letters of protest to Prime Minister Tony Blair on his decision to host the prime minister of a country that wantonly kills women and children.
A picket would be held in Parliament Square (on the green) on Tuesday 13th June, between 11.00am and 1.00pm.
We urge you to turn out in large numbers to demonstrate your revulsion and opposition with Israel’s persistent and dangerous violations of international humanitarian law.
Dear Friends,
On June 17th, Come Strategize, Organize, and Mobilize – To Continue
THE FIGHT FOR FULL IMMIGRANT RIGHTS
WE URGE YOU TO COME to an important NY REGIONAL PLANNING MEETING:
CONTINUING THE FIGHT FOR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS – WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
ON SATURDAY JUNE 17- FROM 10:AM – 4:PM,
AT PUBLIC SCHOOL 212 IN QUEENS NY 34-25 82ND STREET
ALL ARE WELCOME – Immigrants – Activist – Supporters – Students – Community – Labor - Clergy
The tremendous mobilizations on May 1, and during March and April across the country have give new strength to the fight for full rights for all undocumented workers. However, this struggle is far from over.
The so-called “compromise Immigration reform bill” that the U.S. Senate passed a week ago does not give all undocumented workers full legal and workers rights. In many way the Senate bill is similar to the HR447 Immigrant Criminalization Bill.
If we are to continue the fight for full legalization, no deportation, no wall or militarization of the border, no temporary worker programs, than now is the time for all of the organizations and activists to come together to strategize and plan the next battle in our fight.
Please join us on June 17th at the NY Regional Planning Meeting.
Find out about the latest legislation. – Lets’ come together on June 17, and organize for the future. In the morning part of the planning meeting, we will have discussion groups on many topics. In the Afternoon we will come together to make decisions - The May 1 Boycott showed that we have the power – Lets Organize to use it.

MARCH
WASHINGTON DC - NEW YORK CITY
(august-september 2006)
(Italy ) +49 1791600287 (Germany)
The Home Office deports DR-Congo "refused" asylum seekers despite evidence indicating that they may face imprisonment and torture on return.
An Immigration Appeal Tribunal case on the 7th March 2007 will challenge the current DR Congo Country Guidance in which the Home Office claims there is no risk on return to "refused" asylum seekers.
The Tribunal previously established that asylum seekers with a "political or military profile" deported to the DRC face a "real risk" of persecution (1). Most DRC asylum seekers we know should fit that profile, but their claims are largely disbelieved by immigration judges and solicitors drop their cases without making any further legal challenge.
