SAN JOSE, California—Gerardo Sánchez (top), Socialist Workers Party candidate for San Francisco district attorney, speaks at a September 12 rally here against immigration raids and deportations. “The fight for legalization of immigrants should be supported by all working people,” Sánchez said. “We have to fight attempts by the bosses to divide us.” Pointing to the recent deaths of coal miners in Utah, the socialist candidate said that miners and other workers need unions to fight for safety and against the attacks of the employers.
The San Jose action, which included a march of 200, was part of a nationwide effort that day, including a vigil of 100 in San Francisco and a rally in Washington, D.C. —BETSEY STONE Related articles: Anti-immigrant law pushed back in Riverside, N.J.
