Mobilizing for May 1 Immigrant Rights Protest
Los Angeles, CA – Activists are mobilizing for a massive immigrant rights demonstration here May 1. The May Day Unity Coalition, which includes Latinos Against War, BAYAN-USA, International Action Center and the SEIU 721 Latino Committee are organizing a march on City Hall to demand full legalization, an end to raids and deportations, justice for immigrant workers and an end to the war in Iraq.
