if you are in the ny area on saturday

This is a reminder to come out to IQ's Immigrant Freedom Ride contingent, tomorrow (Saturday) -- and to make sure everyone knows that Wyclef Jean is a headline performer at the event! (So is local homophobe Cardinal Egan, but whatever.)

We'll have signs that identify us as Irish community members and queers supporting the demands of immigrant workers: legalization, fair rewards for work, and civil and human rights. Our signs will also demand that queer immigrants -- not just traditional, heterosexual immigrant families -- be included in that struggle. Bring your own signs if you can...

Meeting-up info:
9:45 am
111th St. and 45th Ave. (corner of the park)
Take the 7 train to 111th St.
