04 Mercedes Sanchez
Mercedes Sanchez, a Mediacopy worker, and her husband at a rally in front of the factory. After a big immigration raid at the plant, she became a leader in the effort to organize a union there, in spite of the anti-union intimidation campaign waged by the company and anti-union consultants. Her sign says "stop the raids."
