Speaker: Brian Cruz, Immigrant Rights and Labor Activist SF Gray Panthers Monthly Event Tuesday, May 20, 12:30 – 3:30 PM Fireside Room, Unitarian-Universalist Center 1187 Franklin St., betw. O’Farrell and Geary This May Day, immigration and labor stand at crossroads. Immigration police are sweeping the nation in the worst workplace raids in decades. But workers all over the country have marched on May Day to support immigrant rights. One of the country’s largest unions is rolling out a strategy of growth by cooperation with corporations and employers, and is signing secret contracts with employers forbidding strikes and designating which facilities can be unionized. But longshore workers have defied their employers and even their top union leaders in an 8-hr shut-down of all shipping on the West Coast, demanding an end to the MidEast oil war. It is becoming clear that workers’ needs and immigrants’ needs are the same. We will explore these connections and how we can work together to build a movement that improves life for us all.
