Nationwide Rally For Immigration Reform Organized For May Day

WashingtonDC – Thousands of Service Employee International Union (SEIU) members will join faith, business and civil rights leaders across the country to rally against Arizona’s draconian anti-immigrant law and call for comprehensive reform. The message they will deliver tommorow, May Day, is simple: "Our system is broken; the need for comprehensive immigration reform is urgent and we expect our politicians to lead on this issue."

 

Since the signing of Arizona’s SB 1070, SEIU members have been making phone calls, signing petitions, and holding rallies and vigils to urge local and national leaders that America cannot wait any longer; the time is now to pass comprehensive reform. From PhoenixArizona to WashingtonD.C., SEIU members will be marching on Saturday to remind politicians and citizens that comprehensive immigration reform is good for our economy and good for America.

SEIU’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform Principles:  

SEIU believes the current immigration system is broken and must be updated and replaced by one that does a much better job of addressing the needs of U.S. and immigrant workers in the global economy of the 21st century.  As the largest union of immigrant workers, and also a union that represents more than a million workers who are not immigrants, we hope and expect that our nation’s leaders will enact workable solutions to our immigration problems and that they will recognize that punitive, anti-immigrant measures are neither realistic nor workable.  Moreover, it is not only right, but in our long-term interest, to treat immigrant workers in accord with our nation’s highest values.  Doing so will tie us closer together as a nation;  and if we can come together we will be better able to address all of the other vexing challenges that plague America’s working families.. Read more about the Change to Win and AFL-CIO’s Unified Immigration Reform Framework.

With 2.2 million members in Canada, the United States and Puerto Rico, SEIU is the fastest-growing union in the Americas and the largest union of immigrants. Focused on uniting workers in healthcare, public services and property services, SEIU members are winning better wages, healthcare and more secure jobs for our communities, while uniting their strength with their counterparts around the world to help ensure that workers--not just corporations and CEOs--benefit from today's global economy.
