ROCHESTER ALLIANCE FOR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS

In May of this year, again in August, and just today the Department of Homeland Security through Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried
out some of the biggest anti-worker raids in U.S. history.

This is a time to come together.

We call on people from every walk of life, from every nationality, African American, Latino, Asian, Arab, Native, and white, U.S. or foreign born, in a union or unorganized to come out on October 12.

October 12 is part of a national day of action in over 30 cities. This day is known in the Latino community as Dia de la Raza and is a day for
Indigenous People as a counter to the Christopher Columbus day, which is a day of conquest and disaster for the Americas.

Join us on October 12 to tell the Bush administration and all the presidential candidates: Stop the raids & deportations.
We demand

Justice for the victims of the Sept 28 raid in Sodus

Money for education and health care not for war in our communities

Immediate legalization for undocumented workers and their families

Solidarity not anti immigrant racism

NO to I.C.E. raids, racial profiling, and police brutality

No to local police enforcing immigration laws

Yes to sanctuary cities and churches

PLEASE BRING OFFERINGS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES TO BE DISPLAYED DURING THE RALLY AND DONATED TO THOSE IN NEED.
