"What I am facing is something that thousands of immigrant workers are facing," said Calero, "but there are those who resist and know they deserve better and have a right to organize a union." Ken Robinson, an immigration lawyer in Columbus, spoke along with Calero in support of his case.

Several students at the meeting decided to support the campaign, including a young woman who will seek endorsement for the case from the feminist club on campus.

Supporters of Calero’s antideportation fight organized a meeting of about 25 people the next night at La Sagrada Familia Church in Cleveland.

The speakers panel included Alicia Alvarado, director of the Office of Hispanic Ministry of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland; Don Bryant of the Cleveland Peace Action Board; and Andrew Bonthius of the Labor Action Committee to Free Mumia. Close to $500 was raised for the defense campaign.
