A word cloud of the terms in all the verbatim signs and chants we recorded gives a fuller feel for the variety of claims, many of which were in Spanish.

Unsurprisingly, "workers" and "rights" were the most common terms, but "immigrant" and "legalization" also appeared frequently, as did the chant "El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido!"

Wow, I'm just discovering that the Democratic National Committee (so, the Democratic Party) didn't even put out a press release to mark International Workers' Day/May Day. Seems like such a layup for the purported party of labor to celebrate workers' rights, esp. when so many immigrants' rights groups and unions do. I guess the holiday skews too pinko for the American establishment, though, so the ever-risk-averse DNC does not touch it.
