May Day March 2007
A crowd of about 150,000 came out to participate in the May 1
immigration demonstration, which weaved through downtown
and ended at Grant Park, where a massive rally was held.
Organizer Jorge Mújica was pleased with the numbers: “I think
that this year’s march was everything we expected and sends a
very strong message to Washington. There needs to be some
kind of immigration reform. If they don’t do it this year, next
year there will be a half a million more.”
