Reporter: Associated Press
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Advocates for immigration reform and worker rights marched peacefully to a federal courthouse in Las Vegas for a May Day candlelight vigil.
The Las Vegas Sun reports that more than 150 people took part in a rally at a commercial center and walked several blocks up Las Vegas Boulevard, led by Occupy Las Vegas organizers.
Justin Ponkow banged a drum, spoke of the disparity between a wealthy "1 percent" and economically challenged "99 percent" and said he wants labor justice for exploited immigrant workers.
University of Nevada, Las Vegas, student Maria Calderon rallied marchers to fight for education and worker rights not just on May 1, but every day.
