More than 3,000 people in support of immigrants marched from the city of Everett to East Boston.
Chanting the slogans, "Obama listen, the town is in the struggle! Latinos in Arizona, the world is with you!" Immigrant communities and supporters said, Present! Making their just indignation felt and shouting condemnations of the absurd law recently passed in Arizona criminalizing undocumented immigrants as well as, the right to harass thousands of Latino residents just for,"suspicion," that they may be undocumented.
The march was diverse, and included: women, men, children, whites, blacks, Asians and Latinos, individuals and families, as well as
community groups.
A point of great rejoicing was when union SEIU Local 615 made its arrival in the plaza of the City of Chelsea, where several hundred were waiting in expectation for the advancing march originating from the City of Everett.
Marchers cheered the trade unionists and they were greeted with slo
gans of brotherhood such as, "The workers' struggle has no borders! Long live May Day!"
