People Across the World March to Mark May Day

HeadlineMay 02, 2016

Sunday was May Day, and workers took to the streets in dozens of cities across the world, including in Havana, Paris, Santiago, Istanbul, Seoul and across the United States. In Los Angeles, organizers marked the 10th anniversary of the historic 2006 May Day, when 1.5 million people marched for immigrant rights, by demonstrating against Donald Trump. This is organizer Juan José Gutiérrez.

Juan José Gutiérrez: “He has threatened that should he become president of the United States, in his first 18 months in office, he fully intends to deport all 11 million-plus undocumented persons in the United States. We don’t take that lightly. We don’t think that he’s the clown that everybody said he was. This is a very dangerous individual, and we must stop him.”
