LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2006 - An estimated 6,000 people marched in downtown Los Angeles this Saturday. The marchers were mostly students and young people protesting the proposed anti-immigration bill HR4437. If passed the bill could break up their families. The march was dedicated to Anthony Soltero, the 14 year old student who’s suicide has been attributed to threats he received from school administrators for participating in last months student walkouts. His family was in the march and his mother spoke at the rally.

LOS ANGELES, 15 April 2006--It only took two weeks for Estudiantes Unidos/Students United to pull the march together. This morning thousands of students, exuberant and determined, marched through downtown to support immigrants, but more to the point, to flex their own political muscle. They found their voice and took their place in what they dubbed "the civil rights movement of this century."

It was still difficult to find a European face, but Asian- and African-descent students were everywhere in the predominantly Mesoamerican crowd. So were parents: moms striding side-by-side with their middle-schoolers, sometimes three generations marching arm-in-arm. Every half-block of the three blocks of marchers brought a different chant. But this morning there was a new one: "¿Qué queremos? ¡Amnistía! ¿Cuando? ¡Ahora!"
