Immigrants Rally in City, Seeking Rights
By STEVEN GREENHOUSE
New York Times
Tens of thousands of immigrants rallied in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens yesterday with the hope of promoting an immigrants’ rights movement that will capture the nation’s conscience the way the 1960’s civil rights movement did. Coming from Mexico, China, Haiti and many other countries, the immigrants are seeking to persuade lawmakers in Washington to, among other things, grant legal status to more than 8 million immigrants. “America is a land of immigrants; it was built by immigrants,” said Roger Toussaint, an immigrant from Trinidad who is president of New York City’s Transport Workers Union. “The justice that was extended to the immigrants of the past should be extended to the immigrants of today.” Organizers estimated that about 100,000 immigrants and their supporters crowded into the park, where they rallied alongside the giant steel globe, known as the Unisphere, that was the symbol of the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Tens of thousands of immigrants and labor activists staged a rally Saturday for better treatment of the nation’s immigrants, topping off a two-week-long bus odyssey around the country. Cardinal Edward Egan told the largely Hispanic crowd that the millions of undocumented workers in the United States “are all sons and daughters of one Father in heaven.” “We cannot go on simply ignoring or tolerating the plight of these brothers and sisters of ours,” Egan said. The demonstrators seek the legalization of undocumented workers, better working conditions and the reunification of families.

Immigrants End ‘Ride’ With Pleas on Hill

Like many illegal immigrants, the 23-year-old Mexican lives in the shadows, cleaning Chicago office buildings at night and avoiding authorities. Yesterday, she emerged — to tell her story in Congress. In Mexico, “many of us didn’t have enough to eat,” said Janneth, one of scores of immigrants who traveled to the capital on a “freedom ride” from across the country. Her eyes welling with tears, the young woman told a legislative assistant to Rep. William O. Lipinski (D-Ill.) that she and her siblings sometimes were so hungry as children that they would ask neighbors for a tortilla. “I’m looking for opportunity,” Janneth explained to the aide as a group of fellow immigrants from Chicago nodded.

(U-WIRE) WASHINGTON — Over 1,000 immigrant workers, activists, union leaders, and supporters gathered on Wednesday at the Bible Way Temple to welcome the Immigrant Workers Freedom Rides to Washington, D.C., an event reminiscent of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. The crowd’s energy failed to cease as emcee Jos Williams, the president of the Metropolitan Washington Council of the AFL-CIO, led them through over three hours of singing, cheering, and motivational speakers. Modeled after the Freedom Rides of 1961, the Immigrant Workers Freedom Rides have run buses from 10 U.S. cities. They will have stopped in over 100 cities across the country on the way to their final destination in Flushing, Queens, N.Y.
The Freedom Riders are rallying for a better and faster road to citizenship, the right for immigrants to reunite with their families, the right to organize unions, and the protection of civil rights. online pharmacy tamiflu no prescription
