May Day for Undocumented Workers
Marches and Rallies on May Day.
Tomorrow, May 1, there will be marches and rallies throughout the country. The marches and meetings will have different objectives - to make the country more aware of the plight of undocumented immigrants ; to protest the raids and inhumane attitude and behavior of ICE; to show support to immigrants.
There are differing attitudes among the pro-immigrant community about the marches and rallies. Some people believe that the marches make things worse - they make the other side even more angry and undocumented immigrants pay for this anger. Others say that the marches are necessary, that people cannot remain silent, because silence means agreement.
Whether you attend a march or not. It is important for everyone reading this post to at least be aware that people all over the country are so concerned they plan to take to the streets, even with the awareness of the risk involved - (the police violence that erupted in L.A. last year).
Below are times and locations of marches around the country, I apologize if some are not more specific, but this is all the information I have.
