Rally for Immigrant Rights!

It's May 1, otherwise known as May Day, so get out and celebrate the 8 hour work day, brought to you by years of working class struggle. 

Around the country immigrant rights advocates are organizing marches, rallies, vigils, speakers, shout outs, and hooplas.  Texans United for Families will be marching in Austin's rally, calling for an end to family detention.  If you're in Central Texas, please join us!

For the rest of the world, please join a rally near you.  If you're unable, take a few minutes to contact your representatives and senators and call for an end to family detention and to reform the immigration system to restore American values of family and freedom
