Day of Thanks and Action - Dia de Acción y Gracias

On Wednesday, November 26, 2008, more than 400 day laborers and their families gathered in Sun Valley, a suburb located north of Los Angeles, under a cloudy and rainy day to say thank you for their blessings and to call for the immediate stop on ICE raids and movement forward on an immigration reform package that will allow them to come out from the shadows. The march also honored immigrants who have perished as they tried crossing the border north.

The marchers participated in a faith service, had lunch, watched a video about their constitutional rights, and received food baskets.
