100,000 March on May 1st for Immigrant Justice in SF (1/2)

by Jeff Paterson, Not in Our Name (jeff [at] paterson.net)
San Francisco, California (May 1, 2006) – 100,000 people march down San Francisco’s Market Street today during what would have otherwise have been the height of a busy Monday afternoon. The march and general strike was a small piece of the nationwide mobilization over a million strong to demand justice for immigrants. Although a majority of marchers were Latino, from the looks of things plenty of businesses had to do without immigrants of many nationalities.
