Alto 187 (5 of 6)

On May 28, 1994, Justice for Janitors organized a "March and Rally for the Respect and Dignity of Immigrant Rights" in Boyle Heights. The march coincided with the announcement that an extreme anti-immigrant proposition, Prop 187, would appear on the November ballot. Members gathered to defend immigrants' "right to live in peace with justice!"

 

Pictured here: protesters watch a performance by Korean musicians during the march. Member-leader Rosa Ayala can be seen dancing along.
