With May 1st in two day, I was remembering when I was a junior in high school and the first protest that I ever attended. I skipped school that day to take the train to downtown Chicago with my friends for the for one of the largest May Day immigration protests. It all began from a proposed legislation bill HR4437, which would label undocumented immigrants in the US and any people who helped them as US felons. An estimate of 700,000 people marched on May 1st in Chicago. This was a turning point for me as a student, this is when I began to get politicized. 2006 May Day
