In the wake of ferocious raids around the country, pro- immigration reform protesters took to the streets in Denver during the Democratic National Convention, with signs saying, "We Are America."
Among the thousands of marchers was Louise West, a member of Washington Park UCC and a long-time middle school teacher.
West says she got involved three years ago, when the historic May 1 walkouts were showing the country how significant the immigrant presence was. When her students got up to leave class that day, "I walked out with them - to make sure they were safe," she says.
The march took place Thursday, Aug. 28 near Civic Center Park. Pictured at left is WPUCC member and Iliff student Nancy Rosas (center), with members of the community from El Centro Humanitario and from Comunidad Liberacion.
