Between 500,000 and 1 million people filled the streets of downtown Los Angeles, USA, on March 25th, 2006 to protest the anti-immigrant bill HR4437, which would make all 12 million undocumented people in the United States into felons as well as anyone who aids undocumented people in any way. Families, labor, civic, religious and political groups came out strong in a mostly Latino demonstration, overwhelming all the organizers' expectations. City officials are saying it is the largest demonstration they have ever seen.
Both the Mayor and the Chief of police attended the demonstration and voiced opposition to the proposed anti-lmmigrant law which is being debated in the Senate. This march came in the wave of many other large demonstrations against this bill taking place in Chicago, Washington DC, Arizona, and Missouri.
Following the massive LA demonstration, students took to the streets on March 27th, 28th, and 29th, where more than 25,000 students walked out of school in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Houston, Utah, Michigan, and Nevada to protest anti-immigrant reform.
