To All Concerned:

The next deadline, when boys and men age 16 and older from 14 more
countries are required to register with the INS, is January 10th, 2003.

the detainees, to stop the government from overtaking more civil liberties
and freedoms of people living within this country, to protest the
government's discrimination and racial profiling of Asian and Middle
Eastern immigrants, we are calling on CONCERNED CITIZENS, organizations,
and individuals!! Let the INS and our government know we are opposed to the
unjust and immoral act of registrations, detentions and round-ups of our
friends and family.

Join folks at the INS building to monitor the INS and there actions.
