TAKE ACTION!

On April 10, 2006, a Detroit meatpacking plant said Monday that 15 immigrant women were fired last month after attending a protest for immigrant rights.

Details of this event are described in this news article from the Detroit Free Press. 

We are calling everyone to write, call and Fax your voice of protest to the company and the manager to demand:

  • 1) rehire the workers,
  • 2) never let this happen again,

. . .or we'll call for national boycott against the company.
