That future perspective will take into account the march of 10's of thousands that marched yesterday at the May 1st Boycott starting at Olympic & Broadway, constituting the largest demonstration in Los Angeles since May Day 2006. Members of the national committee of the National May 1 Movement for Worker and Immigrant Rights responsible for building the marches of 100's of thousands across the nation will discuss future plans in defense of the immigrant community against such attacks by local police and government.
Present at the media event:
March 25 Coalition political and media strategist and Coordinating Committee member of National May 1 Movement for Worker and Immigrant Rights Javier Rodriguez, Father Luis Nieto, Gloria Saucedo, plus student leaders, union representatives, clergy, community and political organizations.
The March 25 Coalition is the LA based umbrella organization which organized the March 25, 2006 1.7 million Mega March in LA, galvanized the country for the May 1 Great American Boycott and it is a founding member of the May 1 National Movement for Workers and Immigrant Rights, which is a national coalition composed of over 100 organizations which convened the May 1 Great American Boycott II 2007 after a national conference held in Feb 2007 at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
