Small crowd for 2nd march

At about 1:30 at the Vermont and Olympic, the stepping off place for the afternoon march, about a half dozen workers in red t-shirts were piling placards on the ground that said "living wage for all and dignitity for all workers" in English and Spanish. They also stacked cases of bottled water on a small strip of lawn in front of a Union 76 station for those in the march.

They set two large blue balloons in the shape of planet earth bobbing in the afternoon breeze. Several of them worked to erect and even large white balloon that would carry the message "Legalization Now."

Max Mariscal, 35, who came here over eight years ago from Oaxaca, Mexico, is a community organizer with the Korea Town Immigrant Workers Alliance Network.

"For this march, we're saying about 5,000 people are going to show up from all points -- 5,000 people at least," he said.
