New York City Says Shame on Arizona and Shame on Schumer
8:50 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Immigration|New York City · 1 Comment
3 May 2010This past Saturday, May 1st, thousands rallied and marched across the country celebrating May Day and celebrating the immigrants that work hard in the United States. Pero, understanding that there is work to be done, against a series of anti-immigrant and anti-Latino laws passed in Arizona and for real comprehensive immigration reform.
I was at Union Square this May Day, as I have been for the past three May Days. The message was clear from the young people and families that filled the park and then filled blocks as they marched downtown towards Foley Square. The message was a push back against Arizona but also a push back against the REPAIR proposal put forth by Democratic Senators biometric Chuck Schumer (NY), Robert Menendez (NJ), and Harry Reid (NV).

3 May 2010Hola VivirLatino familia! I’m writing this post before the sun rises over St. Petersburg, Florida where I’m at for the week gracias a Poynter. I’m here as a Sensemaking 2010 Fellow, which brings together a group of diverse media makers to talk about the business and ethics of media making.
I know this won’t be of huge interest to most of our readers, pero it should be interesting for many reasons.
I’m editing videos and fotos from the May Day rally and march here Union Square so that should be up soon. Across the country thousands marched and raised their voices against the hateful SB1070 and other Arizona measures and also against an immigration reform proposal built on the same enforcement rhetoric that has turned deadly and dangerous for our comunidades.
Do you have fotos and videos from May Day pro-migrante events you attended? If you would like to share them with the VivirLatino community let us know at info@vivirlatino.com.
Amor y lucha
