MILWAUKEE — A Socialist Workers Party contingent including vice-
presidential candidate Osborne Hart, right, joined more than 1,000
people here May 1 in the May Day March for Immigrant and Worker Rights.
(See article on front page.)
"Demonstrations like today's help break down divisions among workers
that only help the bosses," Hart told Tomás Medina, a flooring installer
who helped bring a busload of workers and young people from Green Bay.
"We need to organize everyone, regardless of where they were born."
Medina agreed, telling Hart that previous mobilizations had pushed back
one proposed anti-immigrant, anti-worker law.
Campaigning with Hart, communists sold 10 Militant subscriptions and
seven books as they engaged in discussion and debate with marchers.
"I never thought I would see these kind of books in this country!" said
Nieves Cordova, above left, a Mexican-born student at Lakeland College
in Green Bay, upon seeing the Socialist Workers Party table.
Cordova said that after she gave a talk in her class about socialism,
some students asked her, "Where are you from, Cuba?"
She bought three books, got a subscription and took stacks of campaign
leaflets in English and Spanish.
