2000+ protest in Salinas

On Monday May 1st, 2000+ Demonstrators descended on Constitution Park in Salinas California. There were many dignitaries on hand including Salinas’s own mayor Anna Caballero was on hand to give her opinion on the HR4437 legislation. All of the speakers had strong words for the legislation that is slithering it way through the Senate. This was hut one of many protests around the country but the fight is still not over so please stay engaged with the HR4437 legislation.
