FROM 2006 TO 2026: THE WAR ON IMMIGRANTS
PSL Chicago
✊🏽 2026 marks 20 years since the 2006 Day Without An Immigrant. From Los Angeles to Chicago to New York, workers, families, students, and entire communities marched for dignity and legalization, rejecting the criminalization of immigrants. The demonstrations grew into a general strike that May Day, which led to the defeat of the racist Sensenbrenner Bill, which would have criminalized both undocumented immigrants and those who provide them with aid.
As the Trump administration continues its war on immigrants, we have to turn to the past to take lessons for the present!
❗️Join us for Class 4 of the Fred Hampton School of Popular and Political Education to learn about the roots of ICE and deportation policy, the Trump admin’s racist ICE regime, and lessons of the 2006 Day Without An Immigrant as we build towards another general strike this May 1!
