In Chicago, August 11-13, 2006, over 400 activists and organizers of the recent Immigrant Workers' Rights marches (held in March, April, May, and July of 2006) met in Chicago to debate strategy and tactics for the way to move forward in their quest to insure equality, amnesty, and citizenship for the millions of undocumented workers contributing to the American economy. The convention was called by the March 10 Coalition (www.movimiento10demarzo.org), and endorsed & attended by dozens of organizations in solidarity with the nationwide struggle. This is a 9 minute brief report on the Convention.
