<span style="font-size:10pt;color:black">Last
week, people concerned about immigrant rights won a big victory when
Governor Patrick said No to Secure Communities, a program which has
unfairly deported large numbers of immigrants. But hostile Senators have
attached anti-immigrant, anti-worker, and anti-family amendments to the
Senate version of the state budget. The budget is now in conference and
we must let the chairs of that committee know that these outrageous
amendments are unacceptable.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:9pt" size="2">We
won't stand for this! Immigrants are a vital part of our state's
economy and society. Rather than criminalizing immigrants and creating
barriers to access, we need the state to create jobs and increase
resources for all its residents. </span><b style="color:#000000;font-size:10pt">We
are starting our 24/7 vigil on the steps of the statehouse this MONDAY
JUNE 20th at 8AM until these amendments are removed from the budget. </b><span style="font-size:9pt" size="2"></span><br clear="all"><a href="http://www.masshope2011.wordpress.com">www.masshope2011.wordpress.com</a><br>
