Protest to Demand the legislature & Gov Dayton keep âSecure Communitiesâ
out of the MN budget talks
Tuesday, July 5th @ 1:00 pm @ MN Stat Capitol, St. Paul

Join us at the Capitol to send the message âNo budget deal on the backs of
immigrants! No more deportations in Minnesota!â In the last-minute late-June
negotiations between the governor and the legislature to try to avoid a
government shutdown, the legislatureâs
proposal<http://www.scribd.com/doc/59110623/20110630232030082>to the
governor from June 29 appears to include the Secure Communities
deportation program as part of an overall âcompromiseâ package deal. Gov.
Dayton rejected their proposal, but clearly we need to keep up the pressure
to make sure that attacks on immigrants are not part of the final compromise
on the budget to end the shutdown. Info: No More Deportations

*We recently were invited to have **Cynthia McKinney** speak in **Minneapolis
on Saturday, July 9th**. We know this is short notice, but she has an
important anti-war message we'd like you to hear. McKinney has recently
returned from **Libya** and was there during the US/NATO bombing campaign of
Tripoli. It is rare that we get the chance to hear first hand accounts of
this new war. Please try to come. *
