Our "Declaration of Action"
This is our propose one or two day-long Immigrant Unity Conference and a declaration of Immigrant-Workers Unity Day during RNC Mobilization (Aug 29 - Sep 4) at New York City, New York.

National Immigrant Solidarity Network and New York/Washington D.C. based immigrant & human rights organizations will come together to draft a proposal, action plan to organize a 1 or 2 day “Immigrant Unity Conference” and a “Immigrant-Workers Day” at the upcoming Republican National Convention Mobilization at New York City, August 29 - September 4.

We want to use the opportunity of RNC mobilization to tell the Bush regime, the activist communities and the world that we demand No Immigrant Bashing!

Support Immigrant Rights! We are Against Sweatshop Exploitation and Racism on our Communities!

We hope the Unity Conference can achieve the unity among different community activists to create a common campaign strategy on issues, such as, immigrant-labor issues, anti-sweatshop campaigns, and the fight against racism. If
anything, we view the Unity Conference as a way to network with other community-based and grassroots organizers and to share information, skills, and potentially resources.

As the Unity Conference was initially called by the National
Immigrant Solidarity Network, we would like to highlight the creation of this network and encourage dialogue regarding its structure, mission, and strategic campaigns.

We also hope the Unity Conference can be a new model for the
anti-globalization movements; we wish not only to react against
government and corporate policies, but we also want to create and harness our own power for a new society; we are not only focused on international campaigns thousands of miles away, but also on community-based campaigns in our own states, cities, towns, and
neighborhoods led by those that are most directly affected. We also wish to unite immigrant, student, and labor organizations to meet these goals as well as to demonstrate our united opposition to the Bush Administration.
