David Bacon took these pictures at protests in Oakland and San Francisco earlier this month.

Community and immigrant rights organizations rallied in the Latino Fruitvale district to protest immigration raids and the use of the National Guard in Los Angeles. The demonstration was organized by the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity, and Mayor Barbara Lee and Supervisor Nikki Bas spoke.

Unions and immigrant rights activists protested immigration raids and the arrest in Los Angeles of David Huerta, head of United Service Workers West during a raid. Labor leaders included Olga Miranda, SEIU Local 87, Kieth Brown, Alameda Labor Council and others
