“Thousands of minority workers and labor activists took to the streets of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose on Monday to rally for immigration law reform in the first major demonstrations on the issue since May, and the first to take advantage of a new alliance between labor groups and Latino immigrants.

By far the largest rally was in San Jose, as about 25,000 people, at times taking up 10 blocks of Santa Clara Avenue, marched about 3 1/2 miles Monday evening from Story Road to City Hall.”
