Immigration Rally Philadelphia: Photos
I was out today with 10,000 or so of my fellow Americans, all immigrants or descendents of immigrants, legal and illegal. It was incredible to be out there.
Sí se puede! was the chant of the day. Over and over everyone was screaming it. Everyone of every color was behind it. Yes we can!
A round up here on Philly Future.
Below are a few of my favorite shots from the day. Follow this link for the initial cull in a flickr set. 173 down from 340 or so. A tighter edit is to come.

Beautiful stuff, especially the first shot. Reminds me of a Cinco de Mayo celebration in Galveston when I grwoing up.

Love those dresses in the first shot. The rest of the pictures are striking, too.

Great, as usual. I looked for you at the rally but I was only there for about an hour. I'm so glad to see all your photos. I couldn't get close enough to the Native American performers to see them. I only saw those feathers from their costumes. I actually got some shots that you didn't, which I think is some kind of miracle. I don't know how to size them properly though and I'm way to tired to keep trying. You'll get the idea.

I'm glad you were able to make it today. The Tucson rally was great, with about the same number of people as Philly. It was good to see the Democratic City Council Members and Pima County Supervisors taking the mic and showing solidarity with the people. Paz, Man Eegee.

These photos are absolutely stunning. I weep for my pathetic efforts at photography.
Peace,

Whew! I can breath again. Great stuff, man. Even a vegan can apreciate the last one. And I want a poster of the one before it.
