Workers not Criminals
women with placards, originally uploaded by polizeros.I blogged the big protests in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, which were against the proposed anti-immigrant legislation in the US.
Now even these huge protests have been dwarfed by a demo of up to a million in the streets of Los Angeles. The latino communities of California took to the streets to make their feeling known. Banners read 'workers not criminals', 'we make your country better, this is how you reward us' and 'we can die in your wars but not live in your country'.
The real power of the hispanic communities in America is awakening.

Just to let you know, the mainstream media in the States were more up to speed on reporting this demo. I think the sheer scale of the Chicago demo caught them unawares.

That's great. It's fascinating to see this process develop. Minimal coverage in Britain so far though.
