"May Day" is considered "the real Labor Day" for many people.

March for immigrant workers' rights

Voces de la Frontera, Wisconsin's leading immigration rights group, will organize its annual march on Sunday, May 1, called "Wisconsin Solidarity March for Immigrant and Worker Rights.

The purpose of the march is to demand justice for all immigrant workers and their families.

The march begins at 2 p.m. at Voces de la Frontera's office, 1027 S. 5th St., and ends at Veteran's Park, 1010 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr., where there will be a rally featuring live music, national AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, Voces director Christine Neumann-Ortiz and more.

I might just check this out considering I now live in the neighborhood. And, I hate to be a fair-weathered friend to justice, but it will probably depend on the weather.

Justice and solidarity. In other words, more uneducated communist clap-trap being parroted by unruly mobs of illegal aliens who want everything for nothing at taxpayer's expense. For Pete's sake, their blather indicates that don't even understand the concept of a right. These are deeply stupid and spoiled people.
