150,000 march on Chicago – Big crowd far exceeds expectations, as many participants cite last week’s Little Village raid
Tagged: Chicago, citizenship, deportation, Illinois, protest, RaidsPosted on: May 2nd, 2007“Galvanized by a federal raid in Little Village last week, 150,000 flag-waving protesters headed for Grant Park on Tuesday, demanding an end to raids and deportations and seeking amnesty and a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.
Draped in American flags and chanting in many languages, members of immigrant support organizations, labor unions, gay and lesbian rights groups and socialist organizations marched in support of legalization for the estimated 12 million undocumented people — approximately 400,000 in Chicago — living in the United States today.”
