Groups Announce Community March from Chinatown/Lower East Side to Union Square on May 1st
Immigrant and U.S.-born workers call for immigration policy that ensures equal rights for all working people; denounce Washington proposals
On May 1st, working people from throughout New York City will gather in the diverse Chinatown/Lower East Side community in a united call for equal rights for all working people. Marchers will include both native born workers and undocumented workers from all walks of life—including restaurant, delivery and garment workers from Chinatown, longtime Puerto Rican and Latino residents of the Lower East Side, Polish and African-American community members, and new immigrants from throughout the city.
Grassroots groups, Chinese Staff & Workers’ Association, National Mobilization Against SweatShops, and New York Unemployment Project, call on New Yorkers to come join the May 1st community march and say no to any compromise that further criminalizes our communities—both documented and undocumented. They call on working people to stand together to oppose the current Washington proposals, such as guestworker programs and the Strive Act. These proposals being brokered by President Bush and Congress are just an extension of Employers’ Sanctions provision and will only lead to the further criminalization of undocumented workers and the expansion of the underclass in this country. As a result, conditions will deteriorate for us all—undocumented and documented alike. Instead, this Tuesday we will march to demand legislation to replace the Employer Sanctions provision with equal rights for all workers.
