March for Immigrant Rights: Rallys take place across the country,
I joined the march in Tucson. We did not do the whole five miles, but watched the main mass of marchers pass for nearly 20 minutes, then joined in. I estimate about 10,000, nearly all Mexican/Hispanic. what a turnout! it was very impressive, people of all ages, grandmothers and grandfathers, babies in strollers, families, veterans, and more and more and more.
This is really very historic, the first time that these workers have really stood up to claim their rights. We are the workers, they are saying, and they are.
Si Se Pueda: Yes We Can
AquiEstamos: No Nos Vamos!
We are Here, we are not Leaving
"All we want is to work and to have a better future for our children,''
I am trying to accumulate the numbers from all of the demonstrations around the country:
Atlanta 50,000
Boston 8,000
Dallas 500,000
Houston 10,000
Los Angeles 4,000
New York 125,000
Oakland 2,000
Phoenix 00,000
Providence 5,000
Sacramento 1,000
San Diego 50,000
San Francisco 5,000
San Jose 10,000
Seattle 15,000
St. Paul 30,000
Tucson 12,000
Washington 500,000
1,527,000
