The recent struggles for liberation in Tunisia and Egypt have ignited a combatant spirit all over the world. In the US, the struggle in Wisconsin is a new beginning. Public sector workers, youth, anti-war organizations and disability activists are uniting to address the multifaceted system of oppression that constructs borders between oppressed communities, keeping us divided. It is time to challenge the politics of scapegoating that conceals the root causes of the current social, political and economic crisis. As people committed to fighting for immigrant justice, we recognize we can no longer look to politicians and their liberal organizations for real change. We need a new vision and new concrete tools for struggle.

The ongoing criminalization of immigrants is part of a global economic system that finds profit in the incarceration, displacement, and repression of millions across the globe. Despite the solidarity that has blossomed among people who are recognized as citizens and those labeled undocumented, citizenship continues to be one of the main mechanisms for rendering people exploitable. It has been wielded as a ruthless tool for dividing us, forcing us to compete against each other in a global race to the bottom. Liberation Square is a call to “cross borders” between struggles, between divided communities and between forced political identities. Because in a system of laws that are stacked against us, we are all being made undocumented – from communities that are internally displaced to communities facing mass incarceration, from criminalized dissenters to AWOL soldiers. The struggle cannot be merely a fight for “papers”. It is a fight against a system that makes more and more people illegitimate: it is a fight for justice beyond all borders !!!

Join us at Liberation Square!! This is a community gathering and speak-out on the connections between immigrant rights, militarization and the global economic system. We will also march for an action at Boeing, one of the largest military contractors who has also made enormous profits from border militarization. In their never-ending hunger for profits, corporations like Boeing have been a major driving force behind increasing anti-immigrant hatred at home, and increasing wars abroad – because their profit margins depend on fueling the war machine and on making more and more people “illegal”. We will confront Boeing with our message: you are guilty of crimes against our humanity!
