A Day in the Macehualli Day Labor Center in
Phoenix, Arizona
The center was established in February 2003 to provide a formal site where day laborers would be
able to solicit work, and to keep them off sidewalks and areas surrounding the neighborhood’s
businesses. As a result of a series of weekly demonstrations between October and December of
2007 —organized by organizer Salvador Reza and the 35th Street and Thomas Organizing
Committee at the Pruitt's furniture store— groups of opponents have been protesting outside the
day labor center. Related Article
