Immigrant Pride Month Commemorated by Los LA Dodgers

 
A few weeks ago, the Los Angeles City Council declared August as Immigrant Pride Month, distinguishing itself from states like Arizona and Georgia, as well as cities like Hazleton, PA and Farmer’s Branch, Texas.  As part of the celebration, thousands of Latino and immigrant rights activists  will commemorate immigrant pride month at Dodger Stadium at the Los Angeles Dodgers-Colorado Rockies game on Sunday, August 28th.

The LA City Council proclaimed August as Immigrant Pride Month for the 2nd year in a row in a unanimous resolution on August 3, 2011.  The resolution calls for corporations, schools, and other LA entities to show their support for the immigrant contribution to Los Angeles with activities during August.   Resolution author Councilman Ed Reyes will throw out the first pitch at the Dodgers-Rockies game on Sunday.
