In an unprecedented action, the ANSWER Coalition received citations fining the organization $10,000 for the placement of posters announcing the September 15 March on Washington DC. The fines come after a campaign led by FOX news calling for the DC government to take action against those putting up posters for the September 15 demonstration.                   Contact info for Sept. 15 march

Press release and links to background information:

  The July meeting of the Carolina Alliance for Fair Employment will be held on Monday, July 9 at 7:00p.m. at the ILA Hall, 1142 Morrison Drive, Charleston. Historian George Hopkins will present a brief historical overview of the American labor movement's attitudes and policies toward immigrant and undocumented workers--and how and why that has changed in recent years. Attorney Marco Torres will briefly discuss pending legislation on immigration and its probable impact on undocumented workers.  Then there will be a general discussion of what the labor movement [locally, state-wide, nationally, and internationally] is doing and can do to build constructive relationships with undocumented workers as well as what political, economic, legislative, and other policies unions and progressives should consider supporting.
