www.BostonMayDay.org We Demand: 1. Immediate and permanent legal residence and a pathway to citizenship for ALL migrants who live here. Driver’s licenses for ALL undocumented MA residents! 2. Stop arrests, detentions, and deportations of undocumented migrants. End the raids and release ALL detainees being held on immigration charges NOW! 3. NO to border walls, militarization of the border, and criminalization of migrants! That Massachusetts become a Sanctuary State. We say NO to laws that criminalize undocumented workers. 4. Equal rights for all workers NOW! Equal pay and working conditions for foreign-born and native-born workers. NO firings based on immigration status. We demand jobs for all at a livable wage as well as public housing, health care, childcare, education, and other vital social services! 5. We want May 1, International Workers Day, recognized as a National Holiday. We came together in 2006 in the City of Boston as part of the massive national movilization for immigrant rights. Since then every May 1 has been marked by a rally related to the struggle of undocumented immigrant workers and all workers in general. The links between International Workers Day and the struggle of undocumented immigrant workers coming from all over the world cannot be more clear. We emphasize the historical aspects of these struggles from the Haymarket Square Affair in 1886 to the demonstrations of immigrant workers today in the U.S., recognizing the central role played by the 2006 demonstrations. We see a clear connection between the struggle for the 8-hours work-day waged by other migrant workers and the struggle for full rights for all immigrants today.
