A local group pressing Congress for fair immigration reform will stand on the street corners in silent protest Sunday as they have the past several weeks leading up to May 1st.

Comité Latino, which has organized similar protests since immigrants began marching two years ago in the valley and across the nation, is coordinating the event called "Our Way to the Mega March."

Marches are planned in communities across the nation, as in previous years, on May 1, marking the national immigrant boycott of work and spending dubbed “A Day Without Immigrantsâ€
