A march and rally in downtown Fresno in support of immigrant rights brought out over 2,000 people today (May 1). Marchers demanded that President Obama & the U.S. Congress pass a Comprehensive and Humane Immigration Reform NOW! They demanded an end to the persecution of Workers and Families! The march and rally was organized by the May First Committee.
