Latina is asking for our support of the family of Luis Ramirez, in people to join them on their trip to PA and in monetary support for the family.  They have made it clear that allies are welcome to accompany them, please see their announcement below:

TODAY, LATINA – THE COMMITTEE FOR THE FIRST 100 DAYS – ANNOUNCES OUR PLAN TO TRAVEL TO PENNSYLVANIA TO SUPPORT THE FAMILY OF LUIS RAMIREZ, A VICTIM OF THE HATRED THAT IS GROWING IN THIS COUNTRY AGAINST LATINOS BECAUSE OF OUR BROKEN IMMIGRATION LAWS.

WE YOUNG LATINAS WANT TO SEE WITH OUR OWN EYES THE PLACE WHERE OUR BROTHER WAS BEATEN TO DEATH BY YOUNG WHITE MEN FILLED WITH THE HATRED THAT THIS NATOIN HAS PUT IHTO THEIR HEARTS.

WE ARE GOING TO PENNSYLVANIA TO CALL ON LATINAS ACROSS THE NATION TO JOIN WITH US IN FIGHTING FOR A MORATORIUM ON RAIDS AND DEPORTATIONS NOW AND FOR COMPREHENSIVE IMIGRATOIN REFORM IN THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION.

IT IS OUR INTENTION TO ENLIST ONE MILLION LATINAS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY IN A NETWORK OF DEMAND FOR JUSTICE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

WHEN WE RETURN, WE WILL MOBILIZE AT THE I.C.E. OFFICE ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 22TH TO DEMAND A MORATORIUM ON THE CAMPAIGN OF TERROR AGAINST THE 500,000 PEOPLE WITH NO CRIMINAL CHARGES WHO I/C.E. IS SPENDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO HUNT DOWN AS IF THEY WERE TERRORISTS.

WE ARE A NEW GENERATION. WE ARE THE FUTURE OF THIS NATION. WE WILL NOT TOLERATE INJUSTICE OR HATRED IN THAT FUTURE.

WE ARE LATINA – WE HAVE SPOKEN – LET IT BE SO !
