That protest day was one of the lightest traffic days I’ve seen in Los Angeles in many years. It was WONDERFUL! I really hope they get a good turnout again this year.
I think it was the upside-down flag that finished them off. And just maybe closing the LA freeways. Kind of a strong backlash on that, I’d bet.
That needs fixin'.
In Los Angeles alone, 72,000 students skipped school. to join rallies.
Ping!
Please throw these lawbreaking anarchists out of America.
“This year, organizers expect a much lower turnout”.
“Juan and Lupe......if you 2 don’t show up for work on May 1st, like you did last year.....don’t bother coming back”
"Javier Rodriguez, member of the National May 1 Coordinating Committee, said that "Mass demonstrations are scheduled for May 1 in cities across the country including: Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, New York City, San Antonio, Houston, Seattle, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Detroit, Providence, R.I., Elizabeth, N.J., Hempstead, N.Y., and many other locations. This broad participation is an indication of the growing unity among U.S.- and foreign-born workers." This unity is against a common enemy: the U.S. government and the bosses.
May 1 events in solidarity with immigrants in the United States have also been called by the workers' movements in Venezuela, Mexico and the Philippines."
Oh please, let just one Demonstrator be stupid enough to hold up a sign at any protest march here that says "The US Gov't is the common enemy"...

How long will it be, I wonder, before they realize they could take over LA and negotiate a treaty for themselves?
