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.

M.I.R.A. is organizing an entire week of activities to bring awareness to the struggle facing migrants in the United States and around the world. Events include film screenings, discussions and guest speakers. For a list of events, please visit: https://indybay.org/newsitems/2007/04/30/18407341.php
