We Say:

Black, Latin@, Asian, Indigenous, Arab, White - In Unity there is strength.

ICE raids are racist, anti-union and violate immigrant and US workers' civil rights & divide families.

Jobs & homes, not lay-off and foreclosures. Stop demolition of public housing in New Orleans & everywhere.

No war in Iraq. Bring the troops home now.

Political asylum for Victor Toro. No deporation for Flor Crisostomo.

Money for levees in New Orleans, not the US / Mexico border wall.

Repeal NAFTA, no more U.S. trade agreements that force migration & cause lay-offs here.

International Women’s Day 2008: ‘We will organize & mobilize’

The Women’s Fightback Network—Boston organized a car caravan of women activists and supporters. A sound truck played music while young women leaders led chants and rapped. Passersby gave thumbs up and raised fists.

In driving rain, the caravan passed Boston Police Headquarters, where activists demanded an end to Criminal Offender Record Information laws, and Boston City Hospital, where chants echoed: “Our bodies, our lives, our right to decide.”

A Countrywide Financial Co. office, across the street from a homeless shelter, became the target of a militant action when women plastered a banner demanding an end to ALL foreclosures. Countrywide is a major predatory lender.

With music blaring and chants of “Jobs Not Jails,” the cavalcade pulled up to the Suffolk County Community Corrections Center—where 150 to 200 women are incarcerated, unfurled banners and formed a picket line. Prisoners put their hands on the windows and pumped their fists.
