Calling All Supporters: We Invite YOU to Join Immigrant Movement International in a Global Action on International Migrants Day Sunday, December 18th at the OWS Immigrant March in NYC
http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dea113748680aea19d714673a&id=1f1e3421b4[12/29/11 11:58:28 AM] Join IM International on International Migrants Day at the OWS Immigrant March in NYC
In recognition of International Migrants Day on December 18th, artists, cultural producers, members of local communities and supporters will come together in New York City for a rally and march for immigrant rights in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. Immigrant Movement International will march and read aloud the IM International Migrant Manifesto, a declaration of 10 principles re-conceptualizing the 21st century immigrant condition that was recently presented to the public for the first time at the United Nations Student Conference on Human Rights.
Leading up to the march, IM International put forth an open call for global participants to stage an action on December 18 at 2pm local time in recognition of immigrant respect. In order to represent and highlight the 150+ compelling actions that various participants have planned throughout the world, IM International will feature each participant's name and location on a sign to be held by one person in the march. Each marcher will be assigned a specific global project to represent throughout the day and will therefore play a significant role in this historic event.
If you are able to join me, Tania Bruguera, and IM International on December 18, please RSVP to [email protected] with “D18 MARCH” in the subject line so that you can be matched with an international project.
