On Thursday, April 15th, in a great show of unity, representatives of all of the major Pro-(im)migrant coalitions in Los Angeles came together for a press conference to publicly announce that all of the major coalitions are now united and are calling for ONE united mega-march on May 1st. The well attended press conference took place at the Centro Cultural Francisco Villa in South Central Los Angeles.
