Demonstrations and marches have been taking across the USA, but it wasn't until Chicago's 500,000 and Los Angeles' 1,000,000-plus marches that the mood really took off. Taking their inspiration from these historic and unexpected turnouts, millions of undocumented workers and their supporters turned out in droves for another wave of mobilizations on April 9th and 10th.
Although small compared to some of the
other big rallies held around the United States, the rally in
Providence, RI in defence of immigrant rights was significant because
it was larger than the average rally in the city, and because it
shows how deep the opposition to the US government goes.
