EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL WORKERS!
DON’T CRIMINALIZE IMMIGRANTS!



May Day originated in the United States when native and immigrant workers united to fight for the 8 hour day. Today we are calling all workers to come together – not just to fight for survival, but to fight for better lives, and control over our time and our lives.

Corporations reap billions off the backs of working people by pitting immigrant against citizen. At the same time, the government and elite call for strengthening of the Employer Sanctions Provision – a modern-day slave law – to create and expand the underclass of labor this law created. They are also pushing guestworker and legalization programs that will legalize a few, while criminalizing many more.

We march to forge unity among immigrant and native born workers, and build a movement to make equal rights for all workers a national priority this year. For more information, contact: Break the Chains Alliance, c/o NMASS 212-358-0295 | info@breakthechainsnow.org | www.breakthechainsnow.org

    Yvonne lives in Berkeley, California with her partner and their four-legged family. During the day, she works at a racial justice think tank, crunching numbers to eradicate white supremacy. At night and sometimes weekends, she sits at her computer, trying to make sense of the world.

    These are the fruits of her attempts. Apologies in advance if they are sometimes sour, not always sweet, unripe or not fully ready to launch. Yvonne is working on her craft of writing and playing with using all five senses.

    Yvonne tweets, shares what she reads, makes friends, takes pictures, and watches video. Occasionally, she chats and talks on the phone. She loves hearing from you at yvonnegrapher at gmail dot com.
