Immigrant Laborers Speak Out
*Community Supporters join March and Rally Organized by Day Workers*
Immigrants in Mountain View, California, joining similar rallies across
the country, will hit the streets on May 1 in their latest effort to
push for legislation that would give millions of undocumented
immigrants a path to citizenship.
 
In Mountain View the plea for protection of workers' rights comes from
the hearts of a group of day workers and their supporters.   Men and
women laborers from the Mountain View Day Worker Center will start off
a march at Escuela Ave/California Street, marching in white shirts and
carrying signs in both English and Spanish. 
   The march will conclude in a rally at Mountain View City Hall
starting sometime between 5:30 and 6:00pm  (depending on how long the
march takes) where the day laborers will sing "God Bless America". 
Speakers include Mountain View Mayor Laura Macias and East Palo Alto
Council member Ruben Abrica.  The Raging Grannies of San Jose and the
Action League Raging Grannies will sing.
 
 Pam Walton will be filming this event for the Raging Grannies
documentary
