1,000 People in the Streets
In our gulag we had a HUGE deomstration, perhaps the biggest I have ever attended in the actual town of Yakima, and the second biggest I ever attended here.
The new attempts to reform immigration were the reason for the demonstration. It began at Miller Park, actually people began arriving early. There was considerable police presence, including uniformed officers and several un marked cars. I would assume some detective presence.
The march went in sort of a circle of the downtown area, but not into the core of downtown and passed off peacefully. It was a legal and permitted deomonstration.
There were community groups such as the lawyers from the Immigrant Rights Project, Amigas Unidas, UFW, MEChA, and other groups.
I did see a few fellow students. It was cold but sometimes the sun came out and it got hot. So between snow flakes drops of rain and being really warm.
I gor very tired.

I do think Chechnya deteriorated to a situation of ethnic cleansing long ago it's just that no one is really talking about it in the West.
