Ramsey Clark's International Action Center is urging fellow travelers to answer the call for "immigrant's rights" by attending the "National Conference" in Los Angeles on February 3 where plans for the "Great American Boycott II" will be hatched. That boycott/march will take place on May 1, 2007, and it will repeat the "successes" of last year's effort:

On May Day 2006 history was made. The world watched as millions marched and boycotted the economy. We shut down the economy in several key cities, states and border entries. In Los Angeles alone we shut down the ports, trucking, taxis, construction, public transportation, agriculture, gardening, home-care and day-care work, small and chain restaurants and stores, factories, garment, meat industry, offices, etc. In the Midwest meat packing and auto parts plants were shut, in Florida, agriculture and construction. In El Paso Texas 40,000 migrants refused to cross the border. In New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Oakland, Phoenix, Tucson, San Jose, San Antonio, Orange County, and San Diego and in many other cities the boycott succeeded. Students walked out, Businesses closed and the people refused to buy. In Mexico, Central America and many other countries US corporations were targeted by millions of workers. It was truly a Day without Immigrants.

In actual fact, it was a great day, which they could only make better by extending it to a month or two or more.
