May 01, 2009
Los Angeles May Day marches in 2006 and 2007 brought large peaceful crowds to demand better treatment of undocumented immigrant workers and an end to raids and deportations.
Police estimated a midday downtown LA march to City Hall on May 1, 2006 at 250,000. More than 400,000 marched four miles down Wilshire Boulevard later in the day. Organizers estimated that the crowds were nearly one million. On May 1, 2007 100,000 demonstrators marched up Broadway to a mass rally at Los Angeles City Hall.
