May Day Rally

 The May day is International workers’ day every May 1st. Then people stand up for various rights of workers. In Oregon, the event is a day when people march and rally for immigrant rights and it takes place at Salem State capital of Oregon on May 1st.  The purpose this year was driver’s license access, tuition equity and quality education, Safe communities and Health equity are important because immigrants receive unfair treatment. Many people gathered at capital from all of Oregon. They were raising their voices for justice during the march. They said yes we can in Spanish, tell me what justice looks like and sang a song.  Many communities became one. It’s important to change the future.
