    Hello everyone,
    As all of you may know, recently a bill called H.R. 4437 has been introduced into Congress that would make it illegal to help "illegal" immigrants, would make it harder for these immigrants to get jobs, would provide funding for a wall across the US-Mexico border and would make the lives of the millions of "illegal" immigrants working in the United States much more harder than they already are. In response to this, immigrants, unions, and a myriad of organizations have organized marches across the country to protest these bills. In Chicago last week, 300,000 people came out to protest the bill, further marches are planned in Milwaukee, San Francisco, and other cities. This sunday March 26th there is going to be one such protest in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. I strongly encourage anyone who can to come out to this protest. It will hopefully be very large and we will hopefully send a message to the country that no human being is illegal and this legislation is bullshit. Please come out.

    Date: March 26
    Time: 1:00 PM, at 165th Street and Audubon, Manhattan, NYC
