This past Friday, May 1, 2009, I joined with thousands of others across the country in marching for immigrant and worker’s rights.  I was part of the march that began in Echo Park in Los Angeles, went down Sunset Boulevard, and concluded in front of Our Lady of Queen Angeles Church near historic Olvera Street near downtown.

 

At that location we created a giant human postcard that was sent to President Obama that said “Worker’s First.”  (Pictures can be found here).  We marched, waved “We are Human” signs, chanted “Si se Puede!” and sang “La Bamba.”  It was an honor to march in solidarity with those seeking justice in their lives.  At the end of the day my feet were a little tired, but my soul was refreshed; I had let my voice be heard on the side of justice, and I had spent time in the presence of God who was in our midst.
