Call to Action This Fall the Next Stage of the Immigrant Rights Movement begins… September 28th Los Angeles, CA March and Mass Civil Disobedience for Immigrant Rights & a Living Wage This past spring the world witnessed the rise of a powerful new civil rights movement. Millions of immigrants across our nation marched, closed shops, left work, and walked out of school in an historic protest for equal rights. Though the struggle to win a legal path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants continues, it is only half the battle. As millions of immigrants who have obtained legal documents but still struggle to survive know, legalization alone will not lift us and our communities out of poverty. To bring the American Dream within all our reach, we must take the fight to the corporations that continue to exploit documented and undocumented immigrants every day. September 28th will mark a new stage in the immigrant rights movement. We will demand that corporate America open the road out of poverty for all workers and support a path to citizenship for all immigrants. We will start with the largest industry of immigrant workers, the hotel and restaurant industry, in the economic center of one of the poorest parts of Los Angeles , the LAX-area cities of Lennox, Hawthorne , and Inglewood . On September 28th, thousands will join the LAX Century Blvd hotel workers in a mass march that will end with one of the largest acts of nonviolent civil disobedience in the history of Los Angeles . Hundreds of people will risk arrest and shut down Century Boulevard to send a message to the airport hotels and to corporations everywhere: Respect our work, our rights, and our community – now. Join us and Make History!! Rally 4:30pm @ Radisson LAX Meet on corner of Century & Sepulveda Blvds March begins @ 5:30pm Reverand James Lawson, Board Member of Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE) and a working colleague of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from 1957-1968, will hold a training on non-violent civil disobedience on September 14th at 6pm. The training will take place at Angelica Lutheran Church located at, 1351 Burlington Ave. in Los Angeles. This event will be open to the press. If you are participating in the Civil Disobedience on September 28th, or even if you are just contemplating it but are not yet sure if you will, or if you just want to learn more about non-violent civil disobedience as a form of resistance, we recommend that you attend this training. It is very inspirational hearing from a man who trained so many of the civil right leaders in non-violent resistance during the civil rights movement. Hope to see you there.
