AUGUST 11TH- STAND UP FOR IMMIGRANT RIGHTS
Join Residents Against Racism at a Pro- Immigrant Vigil
SATURDAY AUGUST 11, 2007
8:00 am to 10:00 am
Corner of Columbia and Washington Aves.
Bergenfield, NJ
Anti-immigrant organizations across New Jersey have focused their efforts to push the so-called "287 G" legislation, which would train and empower local police to enforce immigration laws and lay the groundwork for deportation. They have also set up vigils across from day laborer gathering points to harass the workers.
-
Residents Against Racism and North Jersey Anti-Racist Action have been organizing against 287 G. Both groups have taken part in weekly pro-immigrant pickets in Bergenfield and stand up to the anti-immigrant United Patriots of American and NJ Citizens for Immigration Control actions.
-
On August 11th, we hope to build a much larger pro-immigrant demo. Let’s show the people of Bergen County that residents support the rights of immigrant workers and oppose 287 G!
