IMMIGRATION RALLY AND MARCH ON THE BORDER PATROL

Monday, December 14, 2008 at 3:30 PM

Meet at the US Border Patrol Station

171 Pattonwood Dr.

Rochester, NY

Parking next door in the strip mall.

Our demands:

1. Cessation of the terrorizing and often warrantless raids and detentions of the migrant population.

2. Progressive Immigration Reform.

3.

• Why do millions make the unlikely decision to leave their communities to live in a country with increasing anti-immigrant hostility?
• Why did the number of Mexicans who made this decision more than double after the implementation of NAFTA?

Economic injustices that occur everyday in our community cannot be ignored. Too often, stories of human rights violations remain untold. Meet people who are most affected by welfare reform and county budget cuts. Visit the places where people who are poor and allies work to end poverty every day. Learn and become involved in the movement to win economic human rights for all. That's what this Reality Tour is all about. So reserve your seat today.

Here is a leaflet from the anarchist aperiodical publication Non Fides, translated from french. It was distibuted in french cities and in front of the Vincennes retention center wich burned after the revolt of its prisonners.
A retention center (Centre de Rétention Administrative or CRA in french) is a prison for illegal immigrants in attempt of their eviction. There has been a lot of revolts past years inside these prisons, and outside. Also a lot of repression for some anarchists compagnons wich are still in prisons for some of them under the anti-terrorist jurisdiction. More information about these cases in english here: http://www.non-fides.fr/spip.php?article273
