National Fast for Immigrant Justice

September 30, 2006 marks the tenth anniversary of the enactment of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, (IIRIRA). The National Fast for Immigrant Justice will call attention to the horrors of IIRIRA and put a human face on the suffering that this terrible law is inflicting on the most vulnerable among us. Participants in the National Fast for Immigrant Justice will donate the money they would have spent on food to organizations that fight for justice for immigrants, and will contact elected officials and let them know that they are fasting and why. The Chairperson of the National Fast for Immigrant Justice is Delores Huerta, the co-founder with Cesar Chavez of the United Farm Workers Union (UFW). September 30, 2006 also marks the 44th anniversary of the founding of the UFW. Cesar would often take part in fasts to raise consciousness of the plight of migrant workers, and their struggle for justice. The National Fast for Immigrant Justice is dedicated to Cesar Chavez.
