National May 1st Movement for Worker and Immigrant Rights: March 10 - Detroit se une en defensa de Elvira Arellano/Detroit Joins in defending Elvira Arrellano

Detroit se une en defensa de Elvira Arellano
Frenemos su deportacion

Moratoria inmediata para poner alto a las redadas, deportaciones, sanciones por parte del empleador y separacion de familias. Diga si a la legalizacion.

La Sra. Elvira Arrellano estaba trabajando cuando elementos de Homeland Security la arrestaron durante una redada de “Operación Tarmac” en el aereopuerto O’Hare de Chicago Illinois. Ella es una madre soltera con un hijo Estaunidense (Saulito Arrellano) y hoy confronta su deportación. Arrellano fundo una organización llamada “La Familia Latina Unida” la cual representa familias separadas(o al borde de la separación) por leyes de inmigración injustas e inmorales. Hace un corto tiempo Ms Arrellano hizo una huelga de hambre que duro 22 dias. A traves de esta huelga ella denuncio e impidio la deportación de 26 trabajadores de la compañía IFCO. Desde ese entonces, se convirtió en un símbolo y lider de los trabajadores indocumentados en la lucha por lograr la legalización para todos. Hoy Arrellano pide al gobierno una moratoria a las redadas y deportaciones.

Le invitamos a que escuche al Pastor Walter L. Coleman de la Iglesia Adalberto United Methodist Church en Chicago

El Ministro Coleman dara un informe en relacion a la situacion de la Senora Elvira Arellano y dara una explicacion acerca de las razones por las que le otorgo asilo en dicha iglesia. Tambien se dara un informe en relacion al Grande Boycot del primero de mayo del 2007.

Detroit Joins in defending Elvira Arrellano

Help stop her deportation

Call for an immediate Moratorium to stop raids, deportations, employer sanctions, and separation of families. Say yes to legalization of undocumented workers.

Elvira Arrellano was working when she was arrested by “Homeland Security”during an “Operation Tarmac” raid in Chicago’s Illinois O’Hare airport. Ms Arrellano a single mother with a US born son (Saulito Arrellano) is now facing deportation. Arrellano the founder of

“La Familia Latina Unida” represents families separated (or on the verge of separation) by broken immigration laws. She recently led a sucessful hunger strike for 22 days to pressure

a stay of 26 IFCO workers under deportation orders. Ms Arrellano stood up and denounced the raids & deportations. Since then, she became a symbol and a leader of the undocumented workers in the struggle for legalization. She has pushed for a moratorium on raids and deportations of all workers.

Come and hear Pastor Walter L. Coleman from the Adalberto United Methodist Church in Chicago
Pastor Coleman will give an update on Ms Arellano's situation, and will explain

his reasons for granting her asylum in his church.

He will also talk about the Great May Day Boycott of 2007.

Where: St. Peter's Episcopal Church
1950 Trumbull (& Michigan Ave. in Cork town)

When: Saturday March 10, 2007 at 2PM

Sponsored by: Latinos United of Michigan(LUUM), Centro Obrero de Detroit(COD) and
