Call for open meetings to plan March 10th Mobilization for Immigrant
Justice
We are calling for a city-wide mobilization on March 10th, 2011. This is a
critical moment to reignite the struggle for immigrant rights, to mobilize
our communities and show that we are not defeated, we are not intimidated!
Our vision remains: Legalization, Dignity and Justice for All Immigrants!
March 10th is also a challenge for our different organizations and
individuals to come together, to work across the boundaries that criss-cross our
city and our movement.
We invite the Community, Organizations and individuals whose work is
committed to immigrant justice. We want to find practical ways of working
together, coordinating logistics and resources. We want to share political ideas
and visions, and compare strategies or tactics.
We must ask: how can we each contribute to building an event that can open
up new political possibilities for the movement, that can mobilize
ourselves and others? The strength of the movement is in the many different voices
and visions it embraces.
Come prepared to share plans, ideas, strategies and resources.

Convocatoria de reuniónes abiertas para planificar la movilización de
gente para el 10 de marzo por la Justicia de los Inmigrantes
Hacemos un llamado a la movilización de toda la ciudad para la fecha del
10 de marzo de 2011.Este es un momento crítico para revivir la lucha por los
derechos de los inmigrantes, para movilizar a nuestras comunidades y
demostrar que no estamos derrotados, que no nos dejamos intimidar! Nuestra
visión sigue siendo: la legalización, la dignidad y la justicia para todos los
inmigrantes!
10 de marzo es también un desafío para reunir a nuestras diferentes
organizaciones e individuos, para trabajar juntos a través de las barreras que
tiene nuestra ciudad y nuestro movimiento.
Invitamos a la comunidad, organizaciones y personas cuyo trabajo está
comprometido con la justicia del inmigrante. Queremos encontrar formas
prácticas de colaboración, de coordinación, de logística y de recursos. Queremos
compartir ideas y visiones políticas, y comparar las estrategias o tácticas
que tenemos para trabajar juntos.
Debemos preguntarnos: ¿cómo puede cada uno de nosotros contribuir a la
creación de un evento que puede abrir nuevas posibilidades políticas para el
movimiento, que puede movilizar a nosotros mismos y la de mas gente. La
fuerza del movimiento está en las muchas voces y visiones diferentes que
resguarda. Vengan preparados para compartir planes, ideas, estrategias y
recursos.

Querida Rosi,
Con todo el respeto que usted me merece, permitame decirle que mi opinion personal sobre el movimiento Undocumented and Unafraid es la siguiente:
Considero que fue muy irresponsable el poner a marchar y protestar a nuestros jovenes indocumentados al igual que el haber expuesto a Elvira Arellano a ser deportados.
Debemos como activistas, pensar mas en el bienestar de nuestra comunidad indocumentada porque las consequencias les podria cambiar el rumbo de su vida y al ser arrestados se les quita la oportunidad de conseguir arreglar su estatus migratorio.
Nadie deberia de usar el problema de nuestros compatriotas para obtener publicidad, avanzar carreras politicas o conseguir mejores empleos.
Gracias,
Rosalba

The day on which we declare ourselves undocumented, unafraid, and unapologetic is almost upon us. The Immigrant Youth Justice League will once again be leading us on this effort, they'll be hosting a big action in Chicago on March 10th, the official coming out day. In solidarity with their efforts, as the National Immigrant Youth Alliance (NIYA), we are calling on you to take action.
Last year, hundreds of DREAMers across the country took the historic step of coming out as undocumented youth in schools, community centers, houses of worship and city halls. This step led us, undocumented youth, to become a force to be reckoned with, a movement that can never be forced back into the shadows.
Will you join the National Immigrant Youth Alliance in this call to action?
“Being undocumented doesn’t define who you are. By Coming Out we take back our right of speech that for years others have been trying to control and oppress. Being undocumented is something that has given us strength and patience throughout the years. Nobody, not even the Senate, can stop us. We’re here and we’re not leaving, be proud and be loud!”
-Angy, New York State Youth Leadership Council
“By Coming Out, we are taking control of the same fears that are going to exist no matter what. Last year, we came out, sat in, and rose up. Now, no one can stop us. This year, not only are we undocumented and unafraid, but we are also unapologetic. We are and we deserve to be a part of this country, and we won’t let anyone tell us differently.”
-Reyna, Immigrant Youth Justice League
The undocumented youth movement went on to challenge the prevailing forces of power with enormous gestures of courage and beauty. Brave youth across the country held their heads high as they starved for weeks outside Senators’ offices and as their determination led to arrests inside Senators’ offices. Yet others publicly battled ICE for their right to remain in their homes and communities, proudly asserting their humanity. We have worked long and hard, we have risen to meet every challenge and we have made this country a better place for all.
But we have a long way to go and our journey continues with one small step each by thousands of Dreamers. It cannot happen without YOU. It is your time to come out as an undocumented youth. But you are not alone. Hundreds of thousands of DREAMers, just like yourself, are making the decision to come out with you. Together, we are coming out of the shadows, leaving behind the fear and the broken promise of the American Dream. We are empowering ourselves to seek a better future, a future in which we are respected, in which our families live with dignity, in which our American Dream is possible.
We know that coming out as undocumented is a terrifying thought for many of us. But we also know that the experience is empowering and liberating for each of us, as well as for all of us as a community.
We have created a GUIDE TO COMING OUT to help you work through your fears and come up with coming out plan that is right for you. Additionally, you can contact us for help in planning your coming out. We are here to support each other through this process!
Sincerely,
Mohammad Abdollahi
co-founder of DreamActivist.org
