3,000 denounce anti-immigrant violence

Over 3,000 people descended on the statehouse in Happauge, N.Y., Oct. 15 to denounce anti-immigrant violence. It was the latest in a wave of protests sparked by the recent beating of two immigrants in the Long Island town of Farmingville. Workers waved flags from Mexico, El Salvador and other Latin American countries. They were joined by a busload of union members from Service Employees Local 32B-32J, a delegation from the Long Island gay/lesbian/bi/trans Community House, the Suffolk County NAACP and others holding banners, candles and handmade signs denouncing anti-immigrant bigotry.
