direct action

Press release from the Stolen Land Committee :

Today on international workers day, a group calling itself the Stolen Land Committee hung a banner off the east face of an abandoned building at 12th and Pearl streets reading “No One Is Illegal.”

The group took this action in solidarity with workers throughout the world who march and rally today in commemoration of those who lost their lives during the struggle for the 8 hour day here in the United States. In particular the group seeks to highlight the struggles of undocumented immigrant workers here in the united states who risk their lives on dangerous border crossings to come to the United States and work. 2 years ago in 2006, Immigrant workers lead the largest demonstrations in the history of the United States on mayday.
