The first stop was at the federal building in Westwood where the Caravan addressed their concern over pResident Bush&rsquo;s guest worker proposal and called on the federal government for fair immigration reform. Then the caravan went to the office of Governor Schwarzenegger to convey the demands of immigrant workers in California for a fair drivers license program and to stop cutting health care services.  Lastly the caravan stopped at Assi Market to shine a spotlight on two companies which have violated the labor rights of immigrant workers.   <br><br> Adapted from MIWON press release. <br><br> Stream Audio Files <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.killradio.org\/stream.php\/stream.m3u?sf=http:\/\/la.indymedia.org\/uploads\/intro.mp3\">MIWON Introduction<\/a> <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.killradio.org\/stream.php\/stream.m3u?sf=http:\/\/la.indymedia.org\/uploads\/acorn.mp3\">John Jackson<\/a> <br><br> <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","summary":"Los Angeles-\r\nHundreds of immigrants and immigrants rights advocates canvassed the city of Los Angeles on May Day, otherwise known as International Workers Day, a day in celebration of working class struggles all across the world.","numcomment":2,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2004\/05\/image4501.jpg","filesize":"197.7 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2004\/05\/109854.php","image":{"original":"\/uploads\/2004\/05\/image4501.jpg","small":"\/uploads\/2004\/05\/image4501.jpgthumb.jpg","medium":"\/uploads\/2004\/05\/image4501.jpgmid.jpg"}},"attachments":[{"id":109855,"heading":"MIWON Event Introduction - bilingual","article":"Duration 00:09:45\r\n","author":"builder123","parent_id":109854,"mime_type":"audio\/mpeg","created":"2004-05-10 00:49:48","modified":"2005-08-15 02:56:05","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2004\/05\/intro.mp3"},{"id":109856,"heading":"May 1st.
