March 31, 2008
Dear Fellow Latino Elected Officials,
On May 1, 2008 I will be marching with community leaders in a
May Day March and Rally to support some of the most basic issues
of fairness, equality, and justice facing our communities and
the working people of our constituencies that we represent,
including fighting for the rights of immigrants and calling for
an end to the war in Iraq.
Many of you have advocated and marched for these issues in the
past and felt the pain of those who have been separated from
their loved ones because of the war or the broken immigration
system. We need your help to keep the spotlight on these issues
and continue the fight. Therefore, I am requesting both your
endorsement and participation in the May Day March and Rally on
Thursday, May 1, 2008. The March begins at 12:00 p.m. at Union
Park (Ashland & Lake) and ends at Federal Plaza (Dearborn &
Jackson) for the Rally at 1:30 p.m. I have enclosed a flyer for
more information.
You may endorse the May Day March right now by visiting
chicagomayday.com and clicking on Elected Officials Roll Call.
If you plan to participate on the day of the event, please call
my office at 312-603-6386 so you will receive formal recognition
at the rally.
Thank you for your leadership and I hope to see you on May 1 to
continue the fight for fairness, equality, and justice.
Sincerely,
Roberto Maldonado
Cook County Commissioner, District 8 |
