CALIFORNIA DREAM ACT CONFERENCE

March 29, 2011

Greetings!

CALIFORNIA DREAM ACT CONFERENCE

INTRODUCTION: A smal, but great, ray of hope comes our way through the CALIFORNIA DREAM ACT, legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Gil Cedillo in this Californialegislative session. It would permit students lacking permanent resident status to obtain financial aid while they continue their college/university education. While such students are currently permited to attend the university, they are prohibited from receiving financial assistance. This is just another way to exclude them from higher education. Nevertheless, through incredible sacrifice, there are thousands of undocumented students attending and completing their studies while they two or more jobs to pay their way - twice. I say twice due to the fact that they and their parents have been paying taxes since they arrived to the United States, but excluded from participating in many government funded or sponsored programs underwritten through their tax dollars. The California Dream Act would correct that injustice and permit these students to avail themselves of the financial aid programs that most other students enjoy.

We call on all students and families to support this legislation and one easy way to do so is TO ATTEND THE CALIFORNIA DREAM ACT CONFERENCE set for Saturday, April 9, 2011at East Los Angeles Community College. This conference will share with us important tools on what we can do to make this legislation a reality. Be counted by being present.

4/4 "We Are One" Action Rally

4/4 "We Are One" Action Rally


Greetings Brothers and Sisters,

Yesterday I attended the CLC planning meeting for the April 4th
AFL-CIO rally commemorating the work of Martin Luther King and Cesar
Chavez as well as demonstrating solidarity with workers in Wisconsin
and elsewhere; to date, it has been confirmed such rallies are to be
held in 304 cities nationwide. Taking a stand here will help other
areas of the state and nation. The rally is not limited to unions; we
recognize that attacks on workers' rights are attacks on Americans'
rights, so bring everyone you can to join in this solidarity effort.

Gather in the park (permits are in place) at (or slightly before) 5pm.
Wear red! It is planned that there will be videos of King and
Chavez, as well as the Wisconsin rallies. Banners and signs will be
available (CWA, CFT, SEIU, and the Iron Workers are each contributing
$250, the Masons are contributing $50 - contact Zak at the Labor
Council (916)927-9772 to donate), and we are encouraged to bring drums
and bullhorns. The plan is to line the sidewalks along I street from
5th to 10th streets (longer or shorter according to turnout), past
City Hall, the Library, the Post Office, the County Jail. Civil
Disobedience and blockage of traffic are discouraged since the purpose
is to build solidarity. There will be identifiable block leaders and
runners to help with coordination - if you would like to volunteer,
contact Zak. Toward the end of the event, there may be a vigil or
something similar.




Outreach is taking place to churches, synagogues and Islamic centers,
universities and colleges, and the homeless population as well as to
organizations such as the NAACP, APRI, Stonewall, and the Green Party.
Elected officials are being asked to stand with us but will not be
speaking. Attempts are being made to arrange for displaced workers
(from Wisconsin or elsewhere) to speak.

A final planning session is to be by conference call Friday at 8:30
(at number to be arranged).

Sacramento's "We are ONE"

Sacramento's "We are ONE"
Save the date APRIL 4th


Monday from 5-7pm
Cesar Chavez Plaza Park
10th and Ist
Sacramento

On April 4th 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, where he had gone to stand with sanitation worker demanding their dream: The right to bargain collectively for a voice at work and better life.

Like Dr. King, Cesar Chavez- who was born March 31st inspired a generation through his tireless advocacy for workers rights.

Today, the same demand Dr. King and Chavez inspired echoes across America. It's the demand of all people-regardless of race: The right to join together for our common dreams.

Come to this gathering to get informed about the movement of workers in Wisconsin, Ohio, India, and dozens of other states where well-funded, right wing corporate politicians are trying to take away the rights Dr. King and Chavez dedicated their lives for. It’s a time to show movement. A time to be creative, but clear.
