SFist Melissa went to today's immigrant rallies in Oakland, and was kind enough to pass along these awesome pictures of the event. Over 1000 people marched for 7 miles in Oakland, while several hundred marched in the Mission District, and over 4000 showed up in San Jose.

Hundreds of thousands of people across the country have turned out to support granting US citizenship to illegal immigrants, with 50,000 in Atlanta, 500,000 in Dallas, and over 500,000 in LA.

Check out Melissa's pictures after the jump, and others at her Flickr site.
