TUCSON, Ariz. (Map, News) - A May Day immigrant rights march and rally in Tucson has drawn about 1,000 activists to a downtown park.

The turnout was way down from last year's event, when 10,000 to 12,000 people rallied for changes in federal immigration laws.

About 400 to 500 flag- and sign-carrying activists marched from city's south side to Armory Park near downtown Thursday morning and were joined by an estimated 500 more people at the park.

The march is one of more than 200 planned across the nation Thursday by activists hoping to revive the stalled push for immigration reform.

Speakers at the park plan to address border and immigration issues, ethnic and racial justice and education, health care and jobs.
