NYC: Nationwide Rallies SAVE IMMIGRANTS RIGHTS
MONDAY, APRIL 10 NYC - Downtown at City Hall
3-7 PM
Wear white On Monday, April 10th
join a multitude of Asian American organizations joining with other immigrant groups to rally against a law being debated in Congress that would make it illegal not just to be an illegal immigrant, but would imprison a priest or minister from talking to one and not turning the person in, would imprison a doctor for treating an illness and not turning the person in, would imprison a legal spouse for marrying one and a child for not reporting their parent. Join in saying these ideas are inhumane!
LEGALIZATION NOT DEPORTATION!
IMMIGRANTS FIGHT BACK AGAINST EXPLOITATION & RACISM!
WE PRODUCE, WE DEMAND: JUSTICE & PROTECTION FOR ALL WORKERS! LEGALIZATION NOT CRIMINALIZATION! FAMILY REUNIFICATION NOT SEPARATION!
In response to anti-immigrant legislation under consideration in the Senate, thousands of immigrants & allies, workers, and youth walking out of high schools will march together on April 10th's Immigrant Rights Mega Rally at City Hall.
WALK OUT, TAKE OFF, CALL IN SICK----WE ARE THE WORKERS WHO RUN THIS CITY AND THIS COUNTRY, AND WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!
As momentum builds across the country & mixed messages reach our communities, the Immigrant Communities in Action contingent will march with these messages:
*The fight is not over! We have not won in the Senate. There are still severely anti-immigrant provisions to expand detention, deportation, & border militarization in the bill. We must stand firm against all anti-immigrant provisions!
*No guest-worker programs of work & leave!
*We will not divide our communities!! We will not trade off more deportations and policing of our communities, sisters & brothers at the border for the legalization of some!

From moma website:
The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros
Auraeus Solito, Philippines, 2006; 100 min.
M-22b: Wed., Mar. 22: 9 p.m.;W-23a: Thur., Mar. 23: 6:00 p.m.;
W-25a:
Sat., Mar. 25: 1:00 p.m.
A remarkable feature film debut, Maximo Oliveros is the irresistibly endearing tale of a twelve-year-old Filipino boy named Maxi who lives with his outlaw father and thuggish older brothers in the teeming slums that ring Manila. A neighborhood favorite despite his flirty walk and elaborate hair accessories, Maxi cooks, sews, shops, and brings a note of welcome warmth to the motherless, all-male household. One night Victor, a kind rookie cop, saves Maxi from a beating, and a very special friendship blooms. Smitten with the handsome law enforcer, Maxi is torn between his loyalty to his brutal yet loving family and his attraction to the young cop. Infused with warmth, humor, and wisdom, the film is a layered portrait of a different kind of community. Nathan Lopez as Maxi and JR Valentin as Victor make an unforgettably odd couple.
