video.google.com/videoplay

The Chicago May Day 2008 march added an important element to marches of previous years: opposition to the war. Through walking interviews within the march, Iraq Veterans Against the War discuss their solidarity with the immigrants. The issue of full rights for immigrants is expanded beyond Mexican immigrants to include many other nationalities, showing the truly international character of May Day. Union members from UNITE HERE, SEIU, and Teamsters also speak. This spirited march shows that the movement for immigrants, workers and peace is not going away. 15 minutes.
