Los Calles Son Del Pueblo

by amanda
On Tuesday, May 1, the MIRA Coalition (Movement for Immigrant Rights Alliance) organized a march in solidarity with International Workers day and to denounce the ongoing raids affecting communities all across the country. Students also demanded an end to the militarization of the US-Mexico border, amnesty for undocumented migrants and to close the detention centers being used by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to house entire families and other detained persons. The students met up with another march, this one originating in the Beach Flats, at the clocktower in downtown Santa Cruz and the two groups united to form one large protest.

Marchers made noisemakers with whatever they found, plastic water bottles and rocks from the side of the road work great!
