National Anti-War Conference in Stanford, CT

Talk by Victor Toro in name of the May 1st Coalition of New York

Dear Brothers and Sisters

We bring you excellent news and a message from the May 1st Coalition.

On this May 1st 2012, there will a unified celebration. We immigrants have united with the most important unions of New York, the working class along with Occupy Wall Street. This has come about after long and intense debates, at which point we concluded an agreement to realize a single act on May 1st in historic Unión Square.  

This agreement and example of unity was proposed to all the delegates at the National Conference and to the peoples, States and Counties of this country.

Also, given the incapacity of Congress and its two chambers, the White House and the corrupt political system of the United States, we propose on May 1st to transform our multifaceted forms of organization and struggle into one center of PEOPLE’S POWER, consisting of union power, of social power, including those from the countryside, in the sweatshop factories, and throughout the poor neighborhoods, all as an alternative to capitalist and imperialist power.

We demand LEGALIZATION for the 12 and perhaps 20 million undocumented immigrants which will in turn allow the youth to pursue higher education. Furthermore, no youth should be obliged to enter the Armed Forces and sent to fight imperial wars.

In calling for legalization for all NOW, we are demanding an end to:

  • deportations
  • immigration raids
  • the fracturing of families

We demand debt forgiveness on houses lost and the return of those houses and property of the 15 million families affected by the mortgage crisis brought on by the avarice of the Banks.

We demand immediate employment for the 40 million chronically unemployed, whose ranks are swelling by the prolonged crisis and recession of the capitalist system on an international level. We Occupy to Create People’s Power.

We demand immediate freedom to the thousands of immigrants currently being held prisoner in the jails and concentration camps. We want immediate closure to the Center of Torture and extermination in Guantanamo. MR. OBAMA, ENOUGH OF YOUR LIES AND DEMAGOGUERY. Stop the torture!

We demand a halt to all war preparations against Iran. No to the utilization of nuclear arms against civilian populations. The United States is not the COP of the world. Troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and an end to all imperialist military bases around the world.

As always, we will fight for civil rights and the human rights for education, health and employment without discrimination of any type.

To our friends the people of Iran, we are always with you.

IN THIS MONTH OF MARCH, FRATERNAL GREETINGS TO ALL WOMEN WHO STRUGGLE. THEY ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE UNIVERSE.

It is only Revolution that will set us free. It is now time to CREATE, CREATE PEOPLE’S POWER IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST OF IMPERIALISM.

We will see you on May 1st in Union Square

Thank you for your applause. Thank you so much.

March 23-25, 2012 at Stamford, CT.

Justice for Trayvon Martin

by on March 31, 2012

Travon Martin

The May 1 Coalition for Worker and Immigrant Rights calls for the arrest and punishment of the murderer of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla.  We condemn the war on Black youth typified by the assassination of this young man, who went to a store to buy sweets for his little brother. His executioner, George Zimmerman, heard on the phone muttering a racist epithet as he killed the youth, justified his assassination of the youth by invoking Florida’s so-called self-defense law — known as “Stand your Ground.”  The police told him to leave the youth alone, but he stalked Trayvon Martin, caught him, and while the youth screamed for his life, Zimmerman cold-bloodedly shot the young man in the chest. Zimmerman said Martin looked suspicious because he was wearing a hoodie. Still, one month after the murder, Zimmerman remains free.

New laws in Florida and in nineteen other states allow vigilantes to kill people they think are “suspect.”  The overwhelming majority of such murders, 65 in Florida in the past year, have been of people of color. The Tampa Bay Times found that “justifiable homicides” have tripled in the state since the law went into effect. Sanford police have already been cited for not arresting racists who assault Black people.

There are huge gaps between rich and poor in the US. African Americans and Latino/as possess barely one-twentieth the wealth of whites. Black and Latino/a youth have the highest rates of unemployment and their wages are the lowest of all workers. The U.S., with six percent of the world’s people, has 25 percent of the world’s prison population. It is mainly people of color who are incarcerated. This is called “The New Jim Crow.”

In Florida and other states, the capitalist system denies millions of Black men who have served time in prison decent-paying jobs, education, health care … and the vote. This is another way of keeping people powerless. Those incarcerated in prison are forced to work for slave wages: a dollar or less an hour.

The U.S. was built on the robbery of land from Native People and Mexico, 350 years of enslavement of Africans, and a racist, Jim Crow system. Today, whether its murder by a police officer or a vigilante’s bullet, a bloody war on African-American youth is escalating as the capitalist economic crisis worsens.  States and the federal government have simultaneously declared war on immigrants. One million have been deported and thousands more incarcerated in the past four years alone. All over the U.S., police racially profile Black, Latino/a and Native youth. The Department of Homeland Security leads the attack on Muslims. And states have passed 92 laws in the last year alone against women’s health rights. Meanwhile, police arrest, tase, pepper spray and beat unemployed and indebted Occupy Movement youth, who are mainly white.

Racist reactionaries are trying to destroy the progressive gains won by mass struggles, from workers’ rights to civil rights. The May 1 Coalition for Worker and Immigrant Rights sees this as a time for unity and fightback. In Union Square, “A Million Hoodies March” took place on March 21st against the murder of Trayvon Martin, that brought out thousands of angry people. This anger continues to mushroom around the country each day Zimmerman is free.  A “National Hoodie Day” took place on March 26 – the one-month anniversary of Martin’s murder.  On April 10, the day that a Florida grand jury meets on the Martin’s case, an International Day of Justice 4 Trayvon Martin protests are being called.  On May 1 in Union Square, again we must stand together. Black and Brown and white, workers and unemployed, and documented and undocumented, calling for an end to racism and repression.

Justice for Trayvon Martin! Ramarley Graham! Sean Bell!

No more racist murders!

En pie de apoyo Solidario con LIBROTRAFICANTE

El 10 de enero, 2012 en el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Tucson en Arizona votó por suspender los estudios del Programa de Estudios México-Americanos después que un juez dictara que violan una ley estatal nueva y podrían perder millones en asistencia a un distrito escolar en particular. Este es otro mensaje racista de la elíte en Arizona al pueblo de color y especialmente a los Latinos de descendencia Mexicana. Ese mensaje es: atrás, sometete, sus vidas no tienen ningún valor para este sistema.

York City in Solidarity with LIBROTRAFICANTE

On January 10, 2012 the Tucson Unified School District in Arizona voted to suspend its Mexican American Studies Program after a judge ruled that it violated a new state law and could lose millions in aid for a particular school district. This is another racist message from Arizona’s elite to people of color and especially Latinos of Mexican descent. That message is: get back, get down, your lives are worth nothing to this system.
