This Friday is May Day. Traditionally a workers holiday, now it is a day to show support, solidarity and represent for immigrants. With ICE raids still happening, detention facilities making money for private companies with the blood of our community, and the DREAM Act still not passed, communities across the country need to make this May Day one of the largest.

1 May 2008Blogging may be less than usual today because Mala has her marching shoes on. I’m heading to a Beyond Borders screening, then on to Union Square for the NYC May Day Pro-immigration March.
If you want to follow what I’m doing. I’ll be twittering all day from mamitamala. Add me and follow the live march action. Later I will have videos, photos, and stories to tell.
Check after the jump for where you can get your march on.

14 year old Anthony Soltero, an organizer of student walkouts at De Anza Middle School in California, shot and killed himself on March 30 after being forbidden to attend graduation activities, being threatened with fines against his mother for his “truancy” and participation in the student protests, and being told that he was going to prison for three years because of his involvement as an organizer of the school walk-outs by the assistant principal of his school. Anthony’s mother, Louise Corales said :
I want to speak out to other parents, whose children are attending the continuing protests this week. We have to let the schools know that they can‘t punish our children for exercising their rights.
