“Another world is possible without borders!”
Today I hopped aboard an OCTA bus and headed to downtown Santa Ana where I attended the May Day march that assembled at Sasscer Park, a small patch of public space located directly across the street from the Ronald Reagan Federal Building and Courthouse.
As a community activist, I’ve organized my share of protests and demonstrations, and I estimate that at least 1,000 people attended this march. There were dozens of moms pushing baby strollers, not to mention hundreds of high school and college students.
The Santa Ana Police, who have a history of overreacting at the sight of protesters, behaved very professionally. They helped stop the flow of traffic and allowed marchers to walk through red lights as they went from one location to another in the downtown area.
This march was organized by a core of intelligent and talented young people who have close ties with the Cultural Center of Mexico, Orange County Dream Team, and other grassroots groups. They did a great job putting together this action!

post 3 the world is my country . apply the samething and go into mexico and see if the LAWS are the same . = NOT
Hope they remembered all their Mexican flags.
What do you think, Hector? that’s a picture of the march up at top. Doesn’t look like a lot of Mexican flags to me. Plenty of American ones though. Oh well, I’m sure you’re gone now, barking up another wrong tree somewhere.
one photo vern im sure there were plenty of mexican flags to go around . perhaps maybe not as many as before BECAUSE THEY HAD TO BE TOLD BY THE ACTIVIST NO TO BRING THEM . IT WILL LOOK BAD . BUT YOUR NOT FOOLING ANYONE WE KNOW THE HIDDEN AGENDA .
OH you’re right Grate One, you’ve got it figured out, all of us just want to be part of corrupt MEXICO now! Don’t tell anyone…
Dear (supposedly)great one:
How do you feel about people who fly Confederate flags, like Minutemen, tea people, etc.
