Statewide (Im)migrant Rights Conference:
Stopping Police and ICE Repression
March 26, 2011

1921 Maple Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90011
(Plenty of Free Parking will be available)


The Southern California Immigration Coalition and the South Central Neighborhood Council are hosting this extremely important conference.

This conference is for all forces that are working to defend the rights of (Im)migrants. Under the current Democratic Administration, our communities have been victim to MORE ICE raids, police checkpoints and deportations than EVER before. At the same time, the Tea Party, the Minutemen and other reactionary groups are trying to repeal the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution and are escalating their attacks on our communities. YA BASTA! It's time for us to organize ourselves and to defend ourselves and to do it independently of any of the mainstream political parties!

Conference objectives:
1. To build a California Statewide Immigration Coalition
2. To coordinate May Day actions all over California so that we are consolidating our political messages and demands
3. To recruit more organizations/people to work on campaigns on issues such as ICE Raids, Drivers licenses, Police/Car Impounds, Secure Communities Opt-Out...etc.

To RSVP: Please email us at info@immigrationcoalition.org. For more information, please call us at 323-602-3480.

We will be sending out a list of endorsers shortly. So far we have people coming from San Diego, Orange County, San Francisco and Oakland. Conference Program will be sent out shortly. Check our website for updates and for further logistical information.

For those of you who will not be able to make it to the Congreso Latino in Tejas, we invite you to come to our conference! The SCIC also supports the Congreso Latino and will be sending our representative to that very important conference. We are excited that we will be part of national and local organizing efforts on the same weekend!

Will you be there? Sounds like so much fun!

Is there interest in protesting this? Let me know.

I'm down to protest it.

Ok, I don't see a time posted on this event. I don't think they've gotten all that worked out. But it certainly is worth protesting. I will not be available that Saturday until after 3:00pm and I'm over an hours drive from there. So if we can schedule their event around 4 then I'll work on it and attend. If there are others who would like to do this, and it's before 4, then I'll work on it for them but I can't be there.
