Immigrant rights activists will rally, march and picket this Thursday
to call attention to their demands. The May 1st 2008 Coalition is calling for
immigration reform, stopping raids, deportations, and use of No-Match Letters,
rescinding the anti-immigrant resolution in Prince William County, declaring the
District of Columbia a Sanctuary City for immigrants, and establishing and
supporting Workers Centers in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. “With national
elections underway, this is a critical time for advocates of justice for
immigrant communities to raise our voices in solidarity,” say organizers.
