LOS ANGELES—Five hundred people marched here Dec. 15 in a “day of action against fear” to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement attacks on immigrant workers and to demand “an end to the targeted deportation of unionized janitors.” The action was sponsored by SEIU-United Service Workers West. It included home health care workers and janitors, organized by the union, and others. “I support the union’s call for action because many people have fought for rights before us and we have to stand up,” Petra Cabrera, a health care worker, told the Militant. —WENDY LYONS Related articles: Alabama action stands up to attack on immigrants, workers Workers protest ‘silent raid’ firings Front page (for this issue) | Home | Text-version home |
