Yesterday Raul Sanchez and I had a booth at the rally before the Immigration March to support workers and immigrants rights.

We invited people to tell a short anecdote or draw a picture about how immigration laws had affected them.

We had quite a few drawings and a few writings which I am posting here.  The first drawing here by a young girl shows herself and her father separated by the wall from their mother in Mexico.
