DURHAM, N.H. (AP) - Social justice advocates in New Hampshire are making the rejection of racism, xenophobia and anti-Muslim sentiment the themes of their annual May Day Rally for Immigrant Justice.
Rain forced the multi-cultural rally indoors Sunday at the Community Church of Durham from the University of New Hampshire campus. The event featured speeches, dance and music.
Eva Castillo of the Manchester-based New Hampshire Alliance for Immigrants and Refugees said it’s more important than ever to speak out for policies rooted in compassion, justice and fairness.
Event sponsors said May 1 - celebrated in many countries as International Workers Day - also has become a day for immigrants and their allies to rally in the United States.
