This is part of the biggest protests in U.S. history earlier in April. Cities across the nation are having a day of strikes - "a Day without Latinos". This movement against labor exploitation and the against the Senate bill making it a felony to assist undocumented peoples is called "the New Civil Rights movement". Here is NOLA, we can connect it to the old Civil RIghts movement. Together we will survive!
