millions of immigrants are expected to rally today in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, San Diego and Ventura counties.
Enormous rallies, vigils and marches will take place all over the United States and the other countries.
In Mexico city, the Zapatistas have surrounded the "American" embassy in protest of proposed U.S. immigration legislation.
This also marks the beginning of the boycotting of American businesses and products.
At 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, churches, cathedrals and missions will ring their bells marking the beginning of a new day for migrant workers and the Indigenous extraction peoples of Anahuac.

3. And Today's Action Keeps It Going |

There's just no getting around it ... by exporting their poverty and political problems to the U.S., the plutocracy governing Mexico can stay in power.
The boycott and marches are a dream come true for the NAFTA-loving, transnational corporations ... which is why Bush and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce support a "guest peon" program, amnesty, and what amounts to open borders.
Keep those corporate profits up with low wages.
