Case Action, which bills itself as a group "fighting for social justice in Central Arizona," helped organize the protest, along with the national labor union Unite Here, of which Maria Elena Durazo is a vice president.

The Los Angeles Times called Durazo a "powerful Los Angeles County labor leader who helped elect politicians, boost wages and push through major development projects." She now works to promote civil rights and immigration reform.

"These students are also in the same community that immigrant workers and hotel workers and food service workers are," Durazo said. "I am inspired by what they do, and our union wanted to do everything we could to support them as they made this decision to walk out."

Some students stayed after the rally to canvass the neighborhood, encouraging people to vote.

The Republic reached out for comment to the Phoenix Union High School District, which includes Trevor G. Browne and North, but did not immediately hear back
