MAY (your) DAY (be better)

New Campaign Posters by Los Angeles based artist Shepard Fairey, originally known for his "Obey Giant" Campaign, that became definitely famous through his promotional posters during 2008 United States Presidential Elections.





The same President Obama was one of the inspiration keys of the recent Los Angeles May Day March, that brought tens of thousands of immigrants by the streets of Los Angeles on last May 1st...
“President Obama made a solemn pledge to bring comprehensive immigration reform in his first 100 days in office. He has not done that. We must continue to struggle to win legalization for everyone. We will not stop marching until we prevail,” said Rally co-chairs Juan Jose Gutierrez from Latino Movement USA.
“¡Obama escucha, estamos en la lucha! " one thousand students all together screamed.
Not even the scare of the swine flu was strong enough to stop 15000 people from joining their voices by the street, asking for better rights, hoping for better lives.

Immigration Raids are a never ending story. It is about time that Washington leaders take a stand and call for an end to the raids. They are destructive, costly and tear apart not just families, but entire communities.
One year ago Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa asked federal authorities to lighten up on tactics that have antagonized immigrant communities. While visiting Washington D.C., he met with Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and asked that federal authorities stop raiding L.A.’s “non-exploitative” businesses. Instead of targeting illegal immigrants who lead productive lives, “federal immigration officials should target dangerous or violent criminals,” Villaraigosa said during the press conference.
Now, one year after, the same problems.
“We are here to demand justice, dignity and equality for everyone. We want legalization, but we can’t stop there—we demand an end to exploitation and discrimination of all forms. We need more workers’ rights, more union jobs, and access to affordable health care, education and housing for all. This is not out of reach. Our labor creates all the wealth in society—we deserve to reap the benefits."(ANSWER L.A. coordinator Preston Wood)
Just two months ago House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave a powerful speech, calling for an end to immigration raids, but nothing seems to be changing yet, and thousands of people keep being arrested and persecuted. Just because in this amazing beautiful country you need to have enough money to be able to buy your life, otherwise you're just an outsider, it doesn't matter how hard you work.

I'm an immigrant myself, AND I SAY STOP THE RAIDS.

...IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW.
