Aqui Estamos, pero ¿A Dónde Vamos? Immigrants can mobilize, but the direction remains to be seen

“Students, teachers, activists, and more importantly, working immigrants cheered and waved various South American flags Monday, May 1st, as organizers of the “Day Without An Immigrant” boycott spoke out against yet another legislative attack on immigrants in the form of House Resolution 4437.

An estimated 5,000 people participated in the march that began at the Cesar Chavez Community Center Park in San Ysidro.

“They say the Sleeping Giant has been awoken, but we’re here today to prove that this giant has never been asleep ”¦ It has been working to keep the American economy running smoothly and cheaply,” shouted guest speaker Roberta Alexander. “This day, the giant has taken a pause from working for dollars and has begun to work for social justice.””
