from Alfonso Di Stefano
ended yesterday evening, a day full of action the 1st March, the evening before in a pub on the outskirts of Cassibile we did project the video on TV Insu Rosario, arousing the lively participation of dozens of migrants present.
the morning of March 1 to 5, we started to leaflets, where despite the darkness approached dozens of migrants to their places of recruitment of foremen. At 6 in the arrival of the Caravan minivan and the rights of a dozen young coordination of Catania for a March 1, migrant, has continued to distribute material information and to post some posters on the Via Nazionale. In knots with large numbers of migrants occurred the drama of the absence of a minimum host, except that Moroccan migrants find a home (paid salatamene) from their countrymen (over 300), who live permanently in Cassibile, almost everyone is sleeping in farmhouses abandoned, without light and water or in the trees.
During this period, especially lettuce and collect the salary ranges from € 40 for the Moroccans to 30 for black African immigrants.
This year we are preparing the launch of the campaign "I do not assume in black" for the purchase of potatoes socially equitable, GAS and appealing to critical consumption of associations to support the marketing of products of companies who fail to take in black. This campaign can not be separated from the more general mobilization for equal pay for equal work, since you have to fight the ethnic differentiation of wages and to prevent fratricidal wars among the poor and that the grant of residence permits to those who denounce those who exploit illegal work ( provided by a European directive of 2009) may increase awareness among migrants that can be expressed collectively bargaining power and achieve concrete objectives.
In the morning we attended the parade in Syracuse, organized by the local committee March 1, during which he expressed strong solidarity with the parish of Boscominniti and father Charles.
afternoon in Catania in Piazza Stesicoro has formed a lively parade with hundreds of migrants (and a few tens of Catania), open from overwhelming percussion of a local group of Senegal, for 3 hours that involved hundreds of passers-by way of Etna; to a delegation of 19 (with representatives of the Senegalese immigrants, Palestinians, Afghans and anti-racist network, and Prc Arci) was received in the prefecture. After over one hour of heated debate it was called again to focus on specific situations, although in addition to these types of meetings should step up anti-racist demonstrations.
The evening ended at the Baptist church, where for several hours took place on the planned meeting with ethnic music, food and video on Rosarno and anti-racist struggles in Sicily.
In all the initiatives of the day we launched the proposal to organize next May 1 a great event of national significance in Cassibile.
