"WE WON'T BE DIVIDED" stated one sign. The truth is that we have been all too divided for too long. We must diligently practice the skills, the arts, the collaborative adaptations of listening, sharing, understanding, problem-solving, planning, and acting in solidarity. And caring for each other.

Guillermo Perez, USW Labor Educator and President of Pittsburgh Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) stepped forward at the head of the May Day March, leading chants: "What do we want?" "IMMIGRANT RIGHTS!!!" "When human rights are under attack, what do we do?" STAND UP, FIGHT BACK!"
