On Mother's Day 2006, Elvira Arellano and Flor Crisóstomo launched a hunger strike for increased immigrants rights — full legalization for immigrants, a moratorium on raids and deportations, and the right of families to reunify.
On June 1, as the hunger strike continues twenty-two days after the strike's launch, supporters and organizers have launched a mass vigil at an immigration court in downtown Chicago, which includes many of the groups involved in organizing the historic Mayday 2006 immigrants' rights actions.
