San Francisco solidarity

9:53 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Activism|Immigration|San Francisco

1 May 2006

I just returned from the rally at the federal building here in San Francisco, and I was happy — though not surprised — to see the solidarity of my fellow San Franciscans with the immigrant cause. There were faces of every color united with the chants of “Sí, se puede!”Contrary to what media likes to have us believe, African-Americans were there in droves, as well as the gay community. Nice to know that in the midst of attacks people of all colors and walks of life — immigrant or not — come together. Well, at least in San Francisco they do.

Check out my photos and those of attendees in other cities on our Flickr group…more to come!

Also, our coverage of the aftermath of May 1st continues tomorrow.
