DARK MONDAYS FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2004 AND ALL OF 2005 A growing number of organizations have joined the call by the Mexican American Political Association to observe DARK MONDAYS beginning Monday, December 13, 2004 and all of 2005 until the state of California becomes a hospitable state to immigrants and permits driver's licenses to persons irrespective of their immigration status. <http://imgcc.com/spacer.gif> <http://imgcc.com/spacer.gif> <http://imgcc.com/spacer.gif> What is a DARK MONDAY? <http://imgcc.com/spacer.gif> What is a DARK MONDAY? MAPA's call to observe DARK MONDAYS and not purchase gasoline one day a week is an economic boycott, which targets the energy industry throughout California and in any state where our message is well received. The energy industry is the most watched industry in terms of the ups and downs of the market - prices, supply, consumption, etc. - and therefore, relatively simple to ascertain the effectiveness of a boycott. No purchase of gasoline is a simple act of conscience by the consumers - almost a symbolic act of support and unity. This is a call to observe DARK MONDAYS to all Latinos, immigrants, and the general community to demonstrate their support for immigrants and the right to obtain a driver's license with no regard for immigration status. Critics would say that people will only make their purchases on Sunday or Tuesday and therefore there is no effect. In fact, this is the simplicity of our call. It is very simple for the populace to be supportive. However, this is only the first step to build organization and consiousness amongst our own communities, and the general population, about the contributions made by immigrants, to then pursue other economic actions and targets. This is one step of many more to come. <http://imgcc.com/spacer.gif> <http://imgcc.com/spacer.gif> <http://imgcc.com/spacer.gif> <http://imgcc.com/spacer.gif> JOIN MAPA TODAY <http://imgcc.com/spacer.gif> <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=rjxvqzaab.0.8hl47a44.qy9j9a44.826&p=http%3A%2F% <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=rjxvqzaab.0.8hl47a44.qy9j9a44.826&p=http%3A%2F%> 2Fwww.mapa.org> <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=rjxvqzaab.0.8hl47a44.qy9j9a44.826&p=http%3A%2F% <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=rjxvqzaab.0.8hl47a44.qy9j9a44.826&p=http%3A%2F%> 2Fwww.mapa.org> <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=rjxvqzaab.0.8hl47a44.qy9j9a44.826&p=http%3A%2F% <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=rjxvqzaab.0.8hl47a44.qy9j9a44.826&p=http%3A%2F%> 2Fwww.mapa.org> Join us in this prolonged campaign for driver's licenses and visas for our families.
