On May Day: End the War!

SAN FRANCISCO MAY DAY ACTIONS
THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2008

Join Direct Action to Stop the War (DASW) as we join in solidarity with immigrants and ILWU dockworkers on May Day. Dockworkers are taking direct action against the war by stopping work at West Coast ports on International Workers’ Day. Meanwhile, immigrant rights groups will again be marching this year demanding amnesty.

DASW will also go to the military recruitment center and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Let’s call for an end to the war and protest the military’s bribing of immigrants to enlist in the war as a fast track to citizenship!

“Support dockworkers’ direct action!”
“The war is illegal–immigrants aren’t!”
